Eneas=Aonghus, not Eighnechan

This is a long standing convention. What source gave you "Eneas"? That is problematic. To the extent that Eighneachan is not simply transliterated, the convention is to render it as "Ignatius".JackMason1 (talk) 07:54, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I was going off the spelling from this page. Annals of the Four Masters says "Egneghan" so I have changed it to that. SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 15:25, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

No one ever talks about this, but . . .

I'm unaware of any secondary source that comments on this explicitly, but Hugh mac Edagany seems to have had at least two sons who survived into adulthood. They appear under their patronymics among the men who received pardons after O'Doherty's Rebellion of 1609. I believe they also appear among those the Crown intended to provide land grants to in the Mevagh area as per Hill's account of the Plantation. I do not think this grant was actually sealed. I'm unaware of any subsequent mention of this lineage in the Civil Surveys or 1641 depositions, so presumably they had died out, although perhaps they account for some of the unidentified O'Donnells among the 1690 muster lists, like Captain Farragh O'Donnell in Col. Dominick Browne's Regiment. JackMason1 (talk) 19:42, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
