I have been doing in-depth research on the Condon family. Mine is in Fedamore Parish, a little further north from yours, in Co. Limerick.
Are you aware that there is a Barony [ a land division) called the Barony of Condon & Clangibbon? It is in the NE corner of Co. Cork, on the border between Cork, Limerick and Tipperary? Many Condon families are strung out like pearls along an E-W line from Fermoy east into Tipperary.
My info about the family name is that it is Norman, was de Cauntenton, later changed sometime in Norman times to Caunton (which I believe is a village in or near Wales). Info comes from my librarian cousin (Condon) in Manchester, who also sent a copy of an excellent history from the Cork Historical Society in 18(99?) I'm not sure of the date.
I'm delighted in this serious research.
