O'Neill
A branch of the O'Neills of the Fews, county Armagh, who were transplanted to county Mayo by the Cromwell Commissioners. They were granted Cloongee, parish of Templemore and Oldcastle, parish of Meelick in the barony of Gallen and were confirmed in their possession of over 4,000 acres by grant under the Acts of Settlement dated 1680. Captain Henry O'Neile was attainted after the Jacobite War and his estate sold to William Moore of Dublin in 1703. However a branch of the family retained Carrowroger and Carrowconnell, parish of Kildacommoge, until 1758 under a lease for 99 years.
