The Ferrells came from Ireland. O'Farrell, the Lord of Annaly in County Longford, was seated at his fortress, "Longphuirt Ui Fheargaill". Hence came the name of the town and County of Longford in all probability. The family is often cited in the Annals of the Four Masters and other ancient Irish texts. Of this family two branches are well known, O'Farrell Boy (buidhe-yellow) and O'Farrell Bane (Ban- meaning white or fair). In 1659 Farrall was a principal name in Dublin, also found in Roscommon. Farrell, at that time, was a principal name in various counties. As a rule the 'O' before the name has been lost for many generations up until the turn of the century. Also of note, MacRannall or Reynolds, of the race of Ir, or Clanna Rory, are of the same stock as the O'Farralls of Annaly. *1.William Ferrell was born 1740 in Longford County, Ireland (This has not been documented).
