Hi Bob, The Battle of The Diamond is credited with the start of the Orangemen in Ulster, and the start of the 1798 Rebellion. You can find some information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Diamond and http://gailstapestry.com/id83.htm and http://www.cruithni.org.uk/feature/rebellion1798.html James Cunningham (my 2nd great grandfather) is on Griffiths Valuation here: http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/details.xml?action=showImage&mysession=2257288140904&ID=952732&rs=50&width=900&height=680 It seems like there is a large family group in Cashel as well as Castleneeha townlands in Kilcummin.
