These are also my ancestors.I have a paper
that says "the Connacht family, the O'Connors, were in the ascendancy and Tulough
More O'Connor held the High Kingship from 1119 until his death in 1166....he had the vision of a statesman, was a patron of learn-
ing and a supporter of church reform. During
Turloughs reign churches were built and foreign students returned to the great Irish schools of Clonmacnoise, Armagh and Lismore..
......It has been handed down by different members of the Abels that Isabelle Phoebe O'Connor fled from Ireland on account of
persecution and they said she was of royal birth. Some said she was a baroness and others said a princess."I have some of
the Abel lines, too.
Hope this helps some.
