Carrick East

Carrick East (from Irish: Carraig meaning 'A Rock’) is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland. It lies in the Roman Catholic parish of Templeport and barony of Tullyhaw. It is named Carrick East or Carrick Fisher to distinguish it from Carrick West or Carrick Hassard townland which is in Glangevlin parish.

Geography

Carrick East is bounded on the north by Brackley, Templeport townland, on the west by Killyneary townland, on the south by Bawnboy townland and on the east by Gortnavreeghan townland. Its chief geographical features are Slieve Rushen mountain on whose western slope it lies, mountain streams and forestry plantations. Carrick East is traversed by minor roads and rural lanes. The townland covers 127 statute acres.[1]

History

Up until the 19th century Carrick East was composed of two separate townlands, Carrick and Tonnyneask, when they were then merged into a new townland of Carrick East.

Carrick (pre-1800)

The 1609 Baronial Map depicts the townland as Carricar.[2][3]

The 1652 Commonwealth Survey lists it as Carricke.

The 1665 Down Survey map depicts the townland as Carrick.[4]

William Petty's 1685 map depicts it as Carik.[5]

It is unclear whether Carrick was granted to anyone in the Plantation of Ulster. The first mention is in an Inquisition of 1638.

In the Plantation of Ulster by grant dated 29 April 1611, King James VI and I granted the town and lands of Gortatowill containing 6 polls, comprising a total of 300 acres at an annual rent of £3-4s., to Mulmore McHugh McFarrall O'Rely, gent.[6] Mulmore O'Reilly had been dispossessed of his lands in the townland of Aghaweely Lower in the parish of Ballintemple. He was the grandson of the chief of the O'Reilly clan, Fearghal macSeaán, who ruled East Breifne from 1526–1534. His genealogy is Maol Mórdha son of Aodh son of Fearghal son of Seaán son of Cathal son of Eóghan na Fésóige.[7] Mulmore O'Reilly had four sons by his wife Honora- Émonn [Anglicised as Edmund], Hugh O'Reilly (Archbishop of Armagh) (b. 1580, d. 1653), Fearghal and Domhnall. He also had an illegitimate son, Cathaoir. Mulmore died sometime between 1611 and 1637. Émonn had three sons, Aodh (Hugh), Cathal and Brian. An Inquisition held in Cavan Town on 12 September 1638 found that the said Edm’ Relly recently of Gortetowell in Co. Cavan, in his life, was seised of a poll of land called Tawnagh, and of a poll called Carrick in said county. The said Edmund died on 29 September 1637. Hugh O’Reyly, his son and heir has reached his maturity and now holds the land from the king in free and common socage. Catherine Newgent, alias Reily, was the wife of the said Edmund and the aforesaid Catherine is dower of the premises. Whether Carrick originally formed part of the 1611 grant to Mulmore O'Reilly is unclear. The O'Reillys may have purchased it later as Edmund was the owner in 1637. It then seems to have been sold to the Graham family of Bawnboy as an Inquisition held at Belturbet on 12 June 1661 found that- George Graham, a knight, deceased, in his lifetime was seised as of fee off the town and land of Carrigg, Gosnefrehane and Ballyoghnemoynagh, with several other parcels of land lying in Co. Cavan, containing by estimation 200 acres and with a yearly value, over and above reprises, of £5 sterling. Being seised of such an estate, the aforesaid George by his last will made on 1 May 1615 by and in consideration of his natural affection for William Graham, the younger son of said George, gave the aforesaid town and land with appurtenances to the same William Graham, to his heirs and assigns in perpeuity. The aforesaid William Graham after his father's death, was seised and possessed of these premises by virtue of the said last will, by which the premises were held or are held now without knowledge of the law.[8] This seems to imply that Carrick belonged to George Graham in 1615 not the O'Reillys, however it may have been an error made by the 1661 Inquisition as an earlier Inquisition held at Cavan on 31 October 1627 found that- George Greames was seised as of fee, of 20 polls of land in Co. Cavan and he died 9 October 1624. William Greames, his son and heir, was then 30 years old (born 1594) and unmarried, but the lands listed in 1627 as belonging to George Graham do not include Carrick.[9]

After the Cromwellian Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652 the lands in Carrick were distributed as follows-

The 1652 Commonwealth Survey lists the proprietor of Carrickeas being Mr Thomas Worsopp and the tenant being William Lawther, both of whom appear as proprietor and tenant for several other Templeport townlands in the same survey.

In the Hearth Money Rolls compiled on 29 September 1663[10] there were three Hearth Tax payers in Carricke- Richard Morry, William Morry and John Cooper.

A grant dated 3 November 1666 was made by King Charles II of England to Sir Tristram Beresford, 1st Baronet which included, inter alia, the lands of Carrick.[11] By grant dated 11 September 1670 from King Charles II of England to said Sir Tristram Beresford, the said lands of Carrick were included in the creation of a new Manor of Beresford.[12]

A lease dated 23 January 1717 from Morley Saunders to John Enery of Bawnboy includes one pole of land in Carrick.[13]

A lease dated 10 December 1774 from William Crookshank to John Enery of Bawnboy includes the lands of Carrick.[14] A further deed by John Enery dated 13 December 1774 includes the lands of Carrick.[15]

The 1790 Cavan Carvaghs list spells the name as Carrick[16]

Tonnyneask (pre-1800)

The 1609 Baronial Map depicts the townland as Tawnyyeske (Irish- Tamnach Eisc meaning 'The Green Field of the River Channels').[17][18]

The 1652 Commonwealth Survey lists it as Tawnyneaghke and Tawnyneshke.

The 1665 Down Survey map depicts the townland as Tehenesk.[19]

William Petty's 1685 map depicts it as Tonesk.[20]

On 12 November 1590 Queen Elizabeth I of England granted pardons (No. 5489) to Cahill O'Doylane of Tonyaneske, Labourer and Philip Roe O'Doylane of same, horsekeeper for fighting against the Queen's forces.[21]

On 25 January 1627 a grant was made of- a fourth of a pole of Tannyieske to Thomas Groves, the Rector or Vicar of the parish of Templepurt to hold as glebe land of Templeport Church.[22] The said Thomas Groves was the Anglican rector of Templeport parish from 1626 to 1632.

In the Plantation of Ulster by grant dated 26 June 1615, King James VI and I granted, inter alia,- 3/4 of a poll in Tawny-yeske to Sir George Graeme and Sir Richard Graeme to form part of the Manor of Greame.[23] An Inquisition held at Cavan on 31 October 1627 found that- George Greames was seised as of fee, of 20 polls of land in Co. Cavan, including one poll in Tawnyreske and he died 9 October 1624. William Greames, his son and heir, was then 30 years old (born 1594) and unmarried.[24]
