Five generations of McAuliffes in Cullina, Labasheeda

Here is an unusual notice of a birth in the Clare Journal of Mon 5 Feb 1866:
Births. On the 21st ult, at Cullina, Labasheeda, the wife of Mr. Thomas McAuliffe of a son, being the first representative of the fifth generation, all living. The “gude woman” herself, the great great great grandmother, being able to thread a needle without specs. Her intellectual faculties being particularly sharp and collected.
Looking at the Kilmurry McMahon baptisms, I see that the child was Thomas and the father was John. The mother was Bridget Cashen (sometimes spelled Cushen, or Cussen)
