Domhnal, son of Concobhar, took part in the O’Neill rebellion, and was attainted in 1602. The account of the Attainder is given in a Patent Roll of James II (1605), which says: ‘Grant from the king to Sir William Taaffe of the entire territory of Ifflanlua West Muskerry, twenty-eight caracutes, the lands of Donal MacConogher O’Mahon, late of Ifflanlua, gentleman, for treason attainted.�?/DIV>
We do not know when the dispossessed Domhnal died, but he was succeeded by his brother Donogh. He continued in possession of some lands, namely, Knockowran (Mount Music), and Gortacurrig, as well as Teereaveen and Cloghmacow in the parish of Kilmurry. The amount of land confiscated is given as 4,782 acres, then valued at £441 per year.
To those who may wish to follow the fortunes of this family further, names may be interesting. Donogh had a son, Cian,who had a son surnamed Cian an Chrochair, who lived about 1719, and about whom Domhnal-na-Tuille, the tribal bard of the McCarthys, composed an elegaic poem.
This Cian had two sons, one Concubhar, or Cornelius, who enttred the Spanish service, rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel and died in 1776. He left a legacy to his nephews and nieces. The other brother was Liam, nicknamed Liam Mor Ban, and from him are descended that branch of the family now known as O’Mahony Ban.
This Liam had a son Cian Mor Ban, whose descendants still live, and a brother, Cornelius. In that headstone in Kilmichael graveyard, which I have mentioned, the wife of Cornelius O’Mahony is interred. The date of her death was 30 August 1777.
