Green from Knocknagarhoon to Western Connecticut
Posted: Thu Feb 13, 2014 8:11 pm
Here is a family from SW Clare, along the Atlantic coast, for which the registration district is Carrigaholt. I became interested in the townland Knocknagarhoon due to its similarity in spelling to Knocknagore, the name of the DED for an area near Kilrush that seems to be the origin of the Ohio family that I am researching (not my own line). That Ohio family has one Clare baptismal record confirmed for one of the children: an 1840s entry with the father shown as Darby Keane of Kinegore. While I am aware that this area in the 1800s had a variety of local names used by residents in place of official geopolitical labels, which could explain why no such place is shown on any map or list of townlands, I have been wondering if the involved priest made his own shorthand term for a long word such as Knocknagore. After today's look into Knocknagarhoon, I am discounting that as their origin because the Keanes are not associated with that area, while they were abundant in townlands now in Knocknegore DED. Any and all comments are welcome.
In the meantime, I might as well show the outcome of taking a parish marriage transcribed by Paddy Waldron, leading to a family who re-settled in a part of Connecticut well used by SW Clare people for their permanent U.S. home: Danbury, six miles north of Redding.
