This might signal the time when Daniel McDonogh was dying.

c1685. Tomb at Kilfenora Cathedral, Donaldus McDonagh and his wife, Maria O’Connor.
Donaldus probably derives from Dónal (with a fada over the o). In Ainsworth, he is called Daniel.

[Frost, pp 100-101]

1688. Cravan McDonogh already married to Mary ...(recorded Ms 45,035/2 of 1688 and Ainsworth 1219 of 1688).
Note:

See also, Ballycullinart (Ballycullinagh?), barony of Burren, 318 acres, possessed by Michael McDonagh. Ainsworth 1878.
Michael McDonogh (tenant) mentioned c1689 by Frost, p 599.
In other references to that (or a similarly named) townland-
1678. John Glasse McDonogh was of Ballycullinagh, Clare, in 1678, Ainsworth, 1168.

Note: these three men fit in the broad Ballykeel family, but where? Similarly, Laurence and William McDonogh, recorded shortly before the year 1700. None finds a place in the skeleton tree, displayed at the end of this McDonogh Timeline.

1695. Mortgage by Timothy McDonogh of Ballykeel of land at Glasnanes, Kilfenora. Witness: Charles McDonogh. Ainsworth, 1235.

Likely, this Cornelius is father of Henry McDonogh, who married Sybil:- Ainsworth 1274 of 1710 states Sybil, wife of Henry of Ballshanny, Kilfenora, son and heir of Cornelius McDonogh.
Witnesses, Nicholas Lynch (a cousin, Ainsworth 208 of 1702), Jo McDonogh, Henry Blood, Lau McDonogh, John Moran. Ainsworth, 1238.

Ainsworth, 160.
Note:
At about this time, Charles McDonogh married Eileanoir Davoren, sister of James (Seamus) Davoren of Lisdoonvarna, who died 1725.
[G U Macnamara, O’Davorens of Cahermacnaughton (1912)]

1699, et seq. Rentals of William O’Brien.

See also 1699.

As to Andrew Hehir, compare-
III. A slab in the south-west corner:—
LOUGHLIN REAGH O’HEHIRS TOMB, FINISHED BY HIS SON ANDREW O’HEHIR 1711.
IV. A table-tomb, with two arched recesses, near the north window:—
MELAGHLIN OGE O’HEHIR AND MORE HOGAN HIS WIFE.
[Kilnaboy Church Ruins, T. J. Westropp, M.A. Taken from The Association of the Preservation of the Memorials to the Dead (Clare Library)]

As to a man named Loghlen Reagh O’Hehir (of Cahermacon), 1622, see Frost p 293. See also, c1629, Frost p 326.

As to a man named Loughlin Reagh O’Hehir of Cahermacon, and his wife Shevane ny Hehir, c1642, see Frost pp 356-57.
“ Shevane”, of course, is an English phonetic approximation of the Irish female forename, as pronounced in that location at that time.

Children of a Loughlin O’Hehir seem to include:-
Andrew O’Hehir (above). Aodh (Hugh Davoren), of Lishareen (41), had a daughter, Judith, who became the wife of Andrew (son of Lochlainn riabhach) O'Hehir, of Cahermacon, par. of Kilnaboy. (Pedigree of Power of Corofin, put together circa 1788.) [ G U Macnamara (1912), footnote 89.]

Patrick O’Hehir [G U Macnamara (1912)] whose daughter Eileanoir married a Davoren.

Joan O’Hehir, who married Dermot O’Brien dc1700 (son of Mahon O’Brien of Toonagh, d1676) [Will of Francis Fitzgerald of Roslevin, 28 February 1705, from G U Macnamara, 1902, O’Briens of Toonagh.]

Eileanoir O’Hehir d 1749 who married, first, in 1686, James Davoren of Lisdoonvarna d 1725 and, secondly, John McDonogh father of Daniel McDonogh (c1713-1790) and Margaret McDonogh who married Hugh O’Loghlen.

As to a man named Melaghlen oge O’Hehir, c1629, see Frost p 326.

As to a man named Melaghlin oge O’Hehir of Nooan (Ruan) and Conor, his son, c1642, see Frost p 353.

1703/04. Exchequer Bill involving John McDonogh and Hugh McDonogh, concerning title to land of Cahersherkin. Ainsworth, 1441.

[Frost, p 558]

1705. Mentions Capt John McDonogh and Hugh McDonogh, son to the said Capt McDonogh. Ainsworth 1885.

1705. Letter dated 21 December 1705, written by Capt Charles McDonogh from Ballykeel. Ainsworth 266.
The letter itself has no genealogical relevance.

1706. Case with opinion of counsel (Florence Macnamara and Charles McDonogh) re a mortgage of £300 passed in 1688 by Timothy McDonogh to Mr Ronan. Ainsworth 1889.

1707. Inch M Ms 45,037/1-4 (1707-9) Conor McDonogh in dispute with his brother, Timothy. Ainsworth no 1238.

1707. 2 April 1707, Release by Timothy McDonogh of Ballykeel West to Charles McDonogh of Ballykeel East, his son and heir, of his interest in lands in Corcomroe. Ainsworth 1272.

1709. List of Roman Catholics who have taken the oaths (of abjuration and allegiance). Between 70 and 75 names, including Butler; Cahane; Clanchy; Grady; Hehir; McDonnogh; Molony; O’Connell; Stacpoole; and White.
[John Ainsworth (ed), Inchiquin Manuscripts, number 1895, p 643]
Note: Perhaps Rev Patrick Hare, educator and priest of the Church of Ireland, born Clare 1731, TCD 1758, died Cashel, Tipperary but buried in Clare in 1816, was of the Hehir family who took the oaths. See his informative entry on WikiTree.
Note:
Hugh MacCurtin’s poem beginning ‘A shaoi 's a shagart tá ag seasamh go síorchróga’ denounced those who took an oath abjuring the Stuart pretender James III, and probably dates from 1709.
[Dictionary of Irish Biography, Hugh MacCurtin, by Vincent Morley]

1709. 16 August 1709, letter written by Connor McDonogh (at Balshanny, Kilfenora) to Sir Donat O’Brien (at Dromoland), mentions land at Caherserkin, and that Any Cruttin (widow of Christopher Cruttin) made over 12 acres of it to Daniel McDonogh (who, Connor writes, is his father). Ainsworth 316.

1709. On 1 September 1709, Administration of Charles McDonogh of Ballykeel, Kilfenora, granted to Sir Donough O’Brien (Kilfenora Diocesan Court, in Ainsworth 1500).

1710. Mentions Cornelius McDonogh, gent, Henry McDonogh his son and heir, and Sybil his (Henry’s) wife, of Ballyshanny, Kilfenora. Ainsworth 1274.
As Henry or his descendant seems a beneficiary of the 1752 Will made by Fr Patrick McDonogh, his father, Cornelius, fits somewhere in the family of McDonogh of Ballykeel. Probably, Cornelius and Connor are not separate sons of Daniel (Dónal) McDonogh, but represent the same person.

1710. 17 August 1710, letter written by Connor McDonogh to Sir Donat O’Brien, sends his son, Malachy, “a practitioner in any Sheriff or Senechalle court ...”, whom he recommends. Letter adds, “... I owe yr honor £1.15.0. of last May gale and have no effects but 3 cows, 4 horses and about 20 ewes, I pray for forbearance till I can dispose of some part of them”. Ainsworth, 328.

1715. Captain Henry Mac Donogh, no location shown. Subscriber to book.
[Hugh MacCurtin, A brief discourse in vindication of the antiquity of Ireland- list of subscribers]

1717. Conor McDonagh. Barbara McDonagh, widow, both tenants. Capt Charles McDonagh.
[Will of Sir Donat O’Brien,1717. Registry of Deeds, Dublin]

1721. Marriage of Mary, daughter of Daniel McDonogh to Patrick Sexten, son of Teige Sexten of Clare.
Bill filed 2 January 1728 by Teige Sexten of Knocknaheily, Clare, farmer recites that George Stackpoole of Ennis, merchant, 5 November 1706, demised to Sexten said land for 21 years and that John Stackpoole, eldest son of said George S, in 1712 became possessed in fee of said land. Patrick Sexten, son of Teige, married Mary, daughter of Daniel McDonogh, marriage articles 5 July 1721 ... (continues without further relevance).
[Betham Genealogical Abstract]

1729. Daniel McDonogh.
Bill entered in Chancery brought by Edward Wycombe, Plaintiff, names as Defendants, Thomas Shone*; Daniel McDonogh*; Michael McNemera; Torlogh O’Loghlin*; Joseph McNemera; Bartholomew McNemera; Henry Thornton.
[Court of Chancery, 14 July 1729]
Likely concerns land in vicinity of Ballyvaughan.
* Person of significance in wider O’Loghlen history.
———————————————— -Hyacinth McDonogh.
The 1752 Will of Fr Patrick McDonough includes a bequest to Henry McDonogh, fitz Hyacinth. These following are references to Hyacinth McDonogh:

1730. Court of Chancery Bill.
Neptune Blood, Plaintiff.
Lucius O’Loghlen, his wife Mary, Daniel Considin, Torlogh O’Brien, Hyacinth McDonogh, Bartholomew MacNemera, Defendants.
Note: This is not Neptune, son of Blood and Miss McDonogh, daughter of Cravan McDonough. See Timeline 1732 and 1733.
Michael MacMahon, Macnamaras of Doolin and Ennistymon ((Clare Library) notes that a Bartholomew Macnamara of Burren (1685- 1761) was ancestor of the Macnamaras of Doolin and Ennistymon. His son, John, married
the daughter of Anthony McDonagh of Irish Brigade fame.

1732. Court of Chancery Bill.
Thomas Blood, Plaintiff.
Lucius O’Loghlen, his wife Mary, Donogh O’Loghlen, James Considin, Hyacinth McDonogh, Torlogh O’Brien, Bartholomew MacNemera, Neptune Blood, Henry Ivers, Defendants.
Note: This and the previous proceeding concern lands in Killonaghan.
Donogh O’Loghlen seems the father or an uncle of Lucius O’Loghlen.

1733. Perhaps as an aftermath of the above legal proceedings in the Court of Chancery is a transaction of October 1733.
Notes taken by Edward O’Loghlen from this document read as follows:-
" OLoghlen / Ievers to Blood:
Memorial of Indented (query Indentured?) deeds of Lease and Release bearing date respectively 9th and 10th October 1733, between Lucius O'Loghlen late of Lisconnery and now of Fermoyle and Henry Ievers, of Mount Ievers (Sixmilebridge) - (of the) one part, and Neptune Blood of Bohersalla, gent of the other part. Lease made in consideration of five shillings for one year and by the said Release, the said Lucius OLoghlen and Henry Ievers for
the reasons and considerations therein mentioned did grant, bargain, sell (alien)? (surmise alienate) Release and Confirm unto the said Neptune Blood.
All this? and those? the town and lands of Lishconirih, alias Lisconery, alias the plowland of Killonchane, alias Killonoghan containing by estimation 70 acres of profitable lands - Irish Plantation measure be the same more or less, together with seven acres in town and lands of Ballyelly all situate, lying and being in the barony of Burren, County Clare.
To have and to hold the same with their appurtenances with the said Neptune Blood, his heirs and assignees, to his and their sole use and behoof forever what said deeds were perfected by said Lucius O’Loghlen in presence? of Matthew Blood of Cragan boy, county Clare, gent, John Scott, Limerick and Richard Coper? his Tlho? and the same were perfected by the said Henry Ievers in the presence of the said John Scott and Richard Copers? and this memorial is witnessed by the said John Scott and James Chrowe of Ennis, in the county of Clare, gent and of ?? ?? .the King's bench.
Three further lines of names -sworn before W Parry (Dep. Registrar) - 15th May 1739."
This document looks like the transfer of the residue of a perhaps long lease of lands.
[Taken from, Some O’Loghlen families in Burren, section 10, Killonaghan]
Note: As to Neptune Blood of Bohersalta, compare the Will of Thomas Blood made in 1713, abstracted in the Registry of Deeds, Dublin, Abstracts of Wills, volume 1 (Irish Manuscripts Commission, 1956) p 29.

1737. Marriage settlement, 4 Jun 1737. “Daniel of Cork, merchant, son of .....MacDonough and Ellinor Hehir, of Corofin. Daniel ... sold his interest in the lease of 1666 to Henry O’Brien of Birchfield (Liscannor) who resold it to W. Herne(?) of...who settled same on his son, being .....of settlement of 1666”.
[G U Macnamara (1902)]
Note: This Daniel McDonogh (died1790) married in 1737 Mary O’Brien, only daughter of Cornelius O’Brien of Toonagh (died 1746) and Catherine Grady (died 1775).
[G U Macnamara (1902)]
This marriage (O’Brien/Grady) produced Bartholomew McDonogh who, on a date unknown, married Joan O’Brien, daughter of William O’Brien of Rineen (1711- 1794) and his wife Margaret O’Loghlen (1702-1804).
Note: Betham Genealogical Abstracts, 1782/84, number 40, page 18, abstracting the Will of Doctor Colman O’Loghlen, parish priest of Ballylee, South Galway (d1784), and brother of Margaret O’Loghlen, mentions a bequest to his niece, Joan, the wife of Bartholomew McDonogh.
Bartholomew McDonogh and his wife, Joan O’Brien, were cousins, according to Anna M Stapleton (1913).

c1738. Hugh O’Loghlen of Cahermacrae dc1749 married Margaret McDonogh, reputedly of Toonagh.
[Anna M Stapleton (1913)]

1744. Fr Patrick McDonough, coadjutor bishop of Killaloe from 1739 to 1752, after returning from France.
[Letter dated 22 April 1744, written at Ennis by Francis Dawson, sub-sheriff, listing the popish clergy of County Clare. Recorded in Munster 409, in the Inchiquin Manuscripts]
Perhaps born c1678.

Note: As to this James Davoren of Lisdoonvarna, died 1725, and some of his family, see Betham Genealogical Abstract, 1725. No children mentioned.
To give context-
James O'Davoren resided in the townland of Lisdoonvarna, where the remains of his house can still be seen. At the time of his death, although a ‘papist,’ he was possessed of an enormous estate - the cause of much law in after years. His marriage articles are dated 4th November, 1686; his will 12th May, 1725, and he died (s.p.) 31st July same year.
[George U Macnamara, O’Davorens of Cahermacnaughton, Burren, part 2, p 200 (Limerick, 1912-13), footnote 59.]
Earlier, James Davoren of Lisdoonvarna and a Charles MacDonogh, Ballykeale, Kilfenora each provided £50.00 surety for Fr William Daly of Kilfenora.
[Ennis Inquisition 11th July 1704, Frost p 558]

Wife, Joan.
Brother, Francis McDonogh.
Nephews etc, O’Brien.
Relatives, Hogan.
[Betham Genealogical Abstract, no 252, p 96]

Extracts from Henry Comber, “Cornelius O’Brien of Birchfield” (1984), regarding the Birchfield estate, also known as Beaghy;-
... About 1655 Beaghy was granted to William Hamilton under the Act of Settlement and appears to have been sub-let by Hamilton to Craven McDonough in 1676. Craven was one of five sons of Daniel McDonough, who was granted Ballykeal, Kilfenora under the Act of Settlement.
... Presumably the McDonough family were in occupation all this time, for in 1748, John Stackpoole granted a thirty-one year lease of Ballyvrislane, Beaghy, Lislarkin etc. to Nicholas McDonough, son of Craven. Nicholas was brother of Capt. Anthony McDonough of Irish Brigade fame. He is commemorated in Kilmacrehy cemetery (Liscannor) by the inscription:-
“ Here resteth Nick, whose fame no age can blot,
The chief MacDonagh in old Hebers lot,
Who, while on earth revived the ancient fame
Of his own line and that of all his name.
His fixed religion was his action’s guide
And as he lived beloved, lamented died.”

1752: Fr Patrick McDonough.
“ Here lie the remains of Dr. Patrick MacDonogh son of the above Donaldus and grandson of the Craven - He was dignitary of the Church of France and of Romish Ireland - He was intimately acquainted with men of the first rank. Died on the 25th of February 1752.”
[Inscription at Kilfenora Cathedral, tomb of Donaldus McDonogh and his wife, Maria O’Connor, dating from 1685, Clare Library]
[Frost, p 99 and page facing p 100]

The clear inference from the Inchiquin Manuscripts, Ainsworth and the 1752 Will of Fr Patrick McDonogh (as well as the commentary by G U Macnamara, 1912) is that the Kilfenora Cathedral inscription-
“ Here lie the remains of Dr. Patrick MacDonogh son of the above Donaldus and grandson of the Craven ...”
is misleading.

Fr Patrick McDonough was not the son of Daniel/ Donal, and was not the grandson of the Craven.

Rather, Fr Patrick McDonough was a son of Cravan MacDonogh, and a grandson of Daniel/ Donal McDonough.

Fr Patrick did not write the inscription. Someone else did, following his death in 1752. Whoever did, got things slightly awry.

1754. The 1752 Will of Fr Patrick McDonogh appoints-
“ Executors - my kinsman, Anthony McDonogh of Carraghan. Francs Daxon. Reverend James Cuony. Michael Kerin - 20/2/1752.”

In 1754, a Bill seems to concern some aspect of the Will. The Bill is a legal proceeding brought by-
Francis Daxon, Attorney, Plaintiff,
against
Paul Sullivan. Anthony McDonogh. Michael Kerin. James Cuony. ..Kerin. Tim Kerin. Anthony McDonogh. Daniel McDonagh, and Henry McDonagh, Defendants.

—————————————————
Skeleton tree of family of Daniel McDonogh of Ballykeel.

Daniel (Dónal) McDonogh, of Ballykeel, Kilfenora. Perhaps born 1600-1620, location unknown, and transplanted to Kilfenora c1655-1660.
Married, Maria O’Connor.
Buried, Kilfenora Cathedral, c1685.

Father of-
• John Glasse.
• Cravan, likely a nickname.
• Timothy, likely the oldest son.
• Connor/Cornelius.
• Oliver (Frost, p 458).
• Daughter, who married Lynch (Ainsworth, 208 of 1702).
• Daughter, who married Hehir, perhaps a brother of Loughlin Reagh O’Hehir dc 1711 (Ainsworth, 193 of 1702. Timeline 1699 and 1702.
* perhaps Daughter, Anna, who married Augustine Curtin (Aug. Cruttin, Ainsworth 1168. The Clare Journal of 21 May 1855 records the death at Dysert of Hugh Curtin, aged 82 years, “the last member of a respectable family who resided in that parish for the last 220 years”).

Symbols:
• marks children of Daniel McDonogh.
* marks their children.
~ marks the next generation,
supported mostly by historical evidence but, occasionally, by input from historians.

As to the children of Daniel-
———————— -
• JOHN GLASSE-
Many references, but no record of marriage.
He was transplanted to (inter alia) Cahersherkin.
In 1703/4, John McDonogh and Hugh McDonogh were involved in a dispute concerning title to land at Cahersherkin. Then, in 1705, Ainsworth 1885 mentions Capt John McDonogh and Hugh McDonogh, son to the said Capt McDonogh.

Child:
* Hugh.
———————— -
• CRAVAN-
Married Mary ..., recorded in 1688 as already married in 1688.
Unless he married twice, wife was Mary O’Brien, sister of Capt Dermod O’Brien, officer of the Irish Brigade of France who fought at Fortenoy, 1745 (G U Macnamara, 1912).

Children:

*Capt Anthony McDonogh, of the Irish Brigade in 1745, returned to Ireland and settled at Carrahan, parish of Clooney, more likely than not the same man as the Executor of the 1752 Will.
Daughters:
~Margaret, who married John Macnamara, 4th son of Partholan (Bartholomew) Macnamara of Moher.
~Mary Anne, who died 1819, married Edmond Hogan (died 1812) of Shesly, parish of Rath, later of Carrahan.

* Fr Patrick McDonogh, priest working in France, coadjutor Bishop of Killaloe 1739-1752, died February 1752, unusually wealthy. Buried, Kilfenora Cathedral, 1752. No children.

*Cormac/ Charles McDonogh, the only person described specifically as “brother” of Fr Patrick McDonogh.
He was a Protestant. Charles described himself as having uncles, Conor, and John Glass McDonogh of “Cahirekerrly”; and a cousin, Andrew Hehir, Ainsworth 193 of 15 February 1702.

In 1699, this Charles McDonogh of Ballykeel, Kilfenora, d1709, married Eileanoir Davoren (a sister of James (Seamus) Davoren, d1725). After his death in 1709, Eileanoir Davoren married, secondly, O’Hehir and had issue.

Likely, Charles’ marriage to Eileanoir Davoren produced-
~Martin;
~Ellinor, who married Thynne;
~Anthony, who married Miss O’Brien (daughter of Thomas O’Brien), died 1760 with no children mentioned in Anthony’s Will.
~Elizabeth, who married Fitzgerald.
*Francis, living in 1750 but perhaps dead by 1752, leaving a son
~Patrick.(1752 Will).
The 1752 Will refers to “His widow, OLaghlen - £8.00”. Implication of this difficult to grasp. Somehow connected to “Relation, Molly O’Loghlin; son Michael”, in the 1760 Will. Perhaps they descend from Charles O’Loghlen (fl. 1712 and 1728) whose daughter, Mary (died 1751) married John Thynn.
*Daughter, who married Blood and had a son,
~Neptune (likely a Catholic, and likely the Neptune Blood who signed the Catholic Qualification Rolls on 14 September 1778).

*Daughter, who married Kerin, the marriage producing Fr Patrick’s nephews-
~Michael,
~John and
~Timothy Kerin.
Michael Kerin is also an Executor, and has a son, Joseph.
All these Kerins are still living in 1752.

*Nicholas, recorded 1748.
Married Joan ....
He died c1750, no children mentioned in his 1750 Will.
Reputed daughter
~Kate, who married an O’Brien of Toonagh [Henry Comber (1984)].

*John, who died before 1752 (indeed, before 1749) and who married twice-
(i) an unidentified lady, before 1713, the marriage producing-
~ Daniel, who married Mary O’Brien, shown in bequests in the 1752 Will-
“ Mary McDonogh, wife of Daniel McDonogh - cutlery
My nephew, Daniel McDonogh of Townagh - iron chest
To his eldest son, Daniel - £6.00”.
~ Henry (of Cork).
~ Margaret, who married Hugh O’Loghlen of Cahermacrae c1738, and had issue.

(ii) Eileanoir Hehir, the childless widow of James Davoren d1725. She outlived her two husbands but died, childless, in 1749.
—————————
• TIMOTHY-
Married Barbara McInerhiny, before August 1663. She is still living in 1717.

Children-

* Capt Charles McDonogh.
Son and heir of Timothy McDonogh, Ainsworth 1272 of 1707.
He is living in 1702 and already called “Capt”: How he acquired the title, Captain, unknown.
Still living in 1717. Like his mother, a tenant of Sir Donat O’Brien.

* Michael, who had a son-
~ Anthony, a beneficiary in the 1752 Will.

Death of Timothy, certainly before 1717, likely before 1710.
—————————
• CONNOR/CORNELIUS-
Married, unidentified lady.
Children-

* Henry, son and heir, married Sybil ...
~ John, oldest son.

*Daniel.
~ Connor.

* Malachy, living in 1710.
——————————
• OLIVER.
No further information found.
———————————
• DAUGHTER who married Lynch:
No further information found.
————————————
• DAUGHTER who married Hehir:
See the information in McDonogh Timeline, 1699 and 1702. No further information found.

According to to G U Macnamara (1912), Elinor Hehir was a daughter of-
Lochlainn riabhaeh [o hAichir] and Margaret de Lacy.

Andrew Hehir was a cousin of Charles/ Cormac McDonogh, son of Cravan, Ainsworth 192.

The name of Andrew Hehir’s father, Loughlin Reagh O’Hehir, corresponds with-
Lochlainn riabhaeh [o hAichir]

Note: riabhaeh is the phonetic version of riabhach. That word refers to speckled or streaked and possibly a birthmark, or swarthy.

Thus, Ellinor Hehir’s second marriage was to a cousin (maybe a first cousin, maybe not), John McDonogh of Toonagh, also a son of Cravan.

That tends to explain the association of John McDonogh with Toonagh: Toonagh arose through his family relationship with the tenant, Hehir. He became of Toonagh after the death of Hehir c1711 or, later, in consequence of his second marriage to Eileanoir Hehir.
