*** There is a word of mouth story of a mcgarity from Ireland that came to ?
the US and did have 24 sons which hit the beach and scattered throughout the ?
land in early times. I received this from an old McGarity (barber) over in ?
Tennessee just before he died and i guess he was the only one who knew. I ?
regret that i did not know him better. Could this be the remanints of the okd ?
King Brian story ?????
* means hilly country
* several of the hills contain circular fortifications called " raths ", ?
several thousand exist today. This indicates a very large ancient ?
population.
* ancient territory comprised of county Cavan, Leitrim, and Meath, and a part ?
of the old barony of Carbury in Sligo. Remained this way untill the ?
reign of Queen Elizabeth.
* The O'Rourkes and O'Riellys maintained thier independence down until the ?
reign of James the first, and had considerable possessions untill the ?
Cromwellian wars, during which all the land was confiscated.

Of the same stock as the O'Conners of Connaught. In the annals of the four ?
masters, at AD 1278, MacOiraghty is mentioned as head chief of Siol Murray. a ?
term applied tothe central parts of the county Roscommon; and in the 16 th ?
century, when deprived of thier territories, some of the clan Geraghty ?
settled in county Mayo and Sligo, and gave thier name to the island Innis ?
Murray, off of the coast of Sligo, on account of thier former title as head ?
chiefs of Siol Murray.
