St. Mullins Amenity and Recreational Tourism - Co. Carlow, Ireland

"St. Mullins in South Carlow is situated on the River Barrow, nestling between the Blackstairs Mountains on one side and Brandon Hill on the other. The picturesque village is approximately four miles from Graiguenamanagh, nine miles from Borris and New Ross, twenty-two miles from Kilkenny and Waterford."

"The area got its name from St. Moling, a 7th century cleric who built a monastery there. During his lifetime many miracles were attributed to him thus ensuring St. Mullins’ fame as a place of pilgrimage. The original monastery burned down in 1138 and an Abbey was built on the site in the Middle Ages. The monastic ruins include a number of churches, domestic buildings and the base of a round tower. There is a 9th century granite Celtic Cross depicting the Crucifixion and Celtic spiral pattern. There is an 18th century Penal Altar used in the days when anti-Catholic penal laws were in force. St. Moling’s Mill and Well are a short distance away. Famous people buried here include St. Moling himself, Art McMurrough Kavanagh, King of Leinster (died 1417), Bryan na Stroake Kavanagh who fought at the Battles of Aughrim and the Boyne (1691) and General Thomas Cloney (Insurrection Leader, 1798)."

"KEOGH
The name Keogh (Kehoe) are anglicised versions of the Irish name Mac Eochaidh which translates as meaning 'horse'. It appeared as a surname in the counties of Roscommon, Limerick and Kildare. An area in Roscommon, around Moyfinn became known as 'Keogh's country'. This surname is today most common in the province of Leinster."

Irish Surnames

"Keogh - (KEE-oh) anglicization of Irish MacEochaidh; Eochaidh is a personal name, but adopted by a family with three distinct septs. John Keogh of Dublin was an early pioneer of Catholic Emancipation. In some cases Keogh was anglicized to O'Hoey or Hoy, septs descended from the early kings of Ulster. Kehoe, Hoey, Hoy, K'Eogh, O'Hoey, Haughey, MacKehoe. Leinster, Wexford."

MacKeough, Kehoe ; O'Hoey, Hoy.

"Keogh, including Kehoe and Mac Keogh, almost equally common forms of the same Irish surname 'Mac Eochaidh—' just misses a place in the hundred most numerous names in Ireland. It is chiefly found in the province of Leinster, the spelling Kehoe being usual in Co. Wexford. Outside Leinster MacKeoghs are mainly located in the neighbourhood of Limerick : the place name Ballymackeogh is in Co. Tipperary, a few miles from that city. This was the homeland of one of the three distinct septs of MacKeogh. The second was in the Ui Maine group. Their eponymous ancestor was Eochaidh O'Kelly ; they were lords of Magh Finn and their territory of Moyfinn in the barony of Athlone, Co. Roscommon, long known as Keogh's County, was popularly so-called even in recent times. The place Keoghville in the parish of Taghmaconnell took its name from them. The third and historically the most important sept were the MacKeoghs of Leinster. These are of the same stock as the O'Byrnes and were hereditary bards to that great family. With them they migrated in early medieval times from north Kildare to Co. Wicklow whence they spread later to Co. Wexford. . . .

"The cognate patronymic O hEochaidh is anglicized as O'Hoey and Hoy. The sept so named, which was the same stock as the MacDonlevys, was of such importance in early time that its chiefs were Kings of Ulster until the end of the twelfth century when their kinsman the MacDonlevy's superseded them in that dignity. . . ."

"In mediaeval times the O'Rourkes were one of the great princely families of Ireland, being Lords of Breffny and providing more than one King of Connacht in the period prior to the Norman invasion. At various times their territory expanded or contracted largely because of the long standing rivalry between the O'Rourkes and O'Reillys in Breffny. At its widest it extended from Kells, in Co.. Meath, to Sligo. After Cromwell, like all great Gaelic families its star declined. many of its ablest members left the country to become valued leaders, particularly military leaders, in European countries: their descendants are still (or were till Russian Communism upset the old order) among the important families in Russia and Poland. Joseph O'Rourke, Prince O'Rourke in the Russian aristocracy, was General-in-Chief of the Russian Empire in 1700 and Patrick Count O'Rourke was a distinguished member of the same service in the middle of the last century, while two Owen O'Rourkes, both Counts, served Maria Teresa of Austria from 1750 to 1780. Of those who went to France the most noteworthy were Col. Count John O'Rourke (c. 1705-1786) and Father Manus O'Rourke (1660-1741) who during a lifetime as an exile wrote voluminously in the Irish language. With a great sept like this, of course, such emigration, though it impoverished their prestige at home, had little effect on numbers, and the Rourkes and O'Rourkes (including such variant spellings as Rorke and Roark) constitute a body of population sufficiently large to find a place in the one hundred most numerous names in Ireland. The bulk of these, as might be expected, are to be found in the counties comprising the old territory of Breffny (I.e Cavan, Leitrim and part of the adjoining counties). Apart from those O'Rourkes who distinguished themselves in continental armies and other forms of foreign service, there have been many notable Irishmen of the name. Earliest of these is Tiernan O'Rourke, Prince of Breffny (killed in battle 1172), who is best known on account of the epoch-making events which followed the carrying off of his wife Dervogilla by Dermot MacMorrogh; Brian O'Rourke, inaugurated Chief of the Name in 1564, had a most romantic career, ending, still without knowing a word of the English language, on the scaffold in London; his son Brain O'Rourke, also Chief of the Name, was equally hostile to the English but died a natural death in 1604. In a very different sphere Edmund O'Rourke (1814-1879) may be mentioned; he was in his day famous under the pseudonym of Edmund Falconer, as a dramatist and actor-manager. It is probable that William Michael Rooke (1794-1847), the Dublin-born composer, came of a family of Rourkes whose name had been corrupted to Rooke."
