Thanks Pat, very interesting. However, the James who was a Magistrate in 1795 I believe was a great grand son of James. He did have a son also James. However, according to a pedigree lodged in National Library, he was born in 1699. A deed dated 1779 mentions James the younger (decd) one of the sons of James. Another son Matthew who married Lucy O’Grady in 1727 also had a son James who died young. Matthew & Lucy also had a son John and a deed dated 1792 mentions a wife Frances and 10 sons, the eldest John who may be Captain of North Cork Militia and James who may have been a magistrate in the 1790s https://www.familysearch.org/…/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-Q9SR-W…https://www.familysearch.org/…/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJ4-4RLR…

A thank you for finding this and publishing it on your website. As a descendant of the Catholic branch of the O Hea family of Kilkeran, I found it very interesting. The legendary stuff is great fun. You have a marvelous website, full of treasures.

I am a descendant of a Tadg (Don Taddeo) O’hEa as the English spelled our name, exiled from Ireland by False Willie. My ancestor was given land and title over O Grove Galicia for service in the Tercio Hibernia until his grandson was billeted to Havana, Cuba, then dispatched to glorious Baton Rouge by Bloody O’Rathilly. Tadg was a descendant of Brian “Knocker.” With new access to formerly lost birth records, we hope to make interesting connections soon. Men of my stock returned to Ireland to help in times of trouble, to court brides, etc. At least on such visit, in the middle 1700s, was sanctioned by the Spanish Crown to insult and put the proud Saxon in his place. We have always married amongst Gaels, until me, I married an Asturian/Galixian woman, mo cailin geal. Thanks for the interesting details.
