Pedrigee of Crowleys/O’Crowleys (Ó Crualaoich:Hard Hero/Warrior) West Cork, from Carew manuscript.

Dr. Edward McLysaght, the genealogist, has the Crowleys as a Sept of The McDermotts of Moylurg, Roscommon and migrating to West Cork c 12th Century. Presumably they were Mercenaries.  DNA matches of the Crowley support this with families from that area turning up.

In the 1641 Depositions the claims of Planters for damage due to the Uprising there are frequent references to members of the extended family.

Prize Medal, Richard Hartland, Grenadier Company, Royal Cork Volunteers, Cork, 1810.

This is in the name of Richard Hartland. He may have been one of the seedsman family who at the time were supplying Bantry House as part of their planting programme. The family had nurseries near the Lough and local roads still bear their name.

Probably from Richard Day, Journal of Cork Historical and Archaeological Society.

Cataract of the Bantry River (Donemark) in Ireland 1799.

Note the mill to the left,  Murphy’s on the Glengariff Road.

There is  a waterfall at Donemark near Ballylickey (close to Golf Club).  There actually was an old water generator there, probably built in 60’s/70’s.  The photo is of Donemark.  The extensive remains of the mills built by the Murphy family of Newtown House (demolished) near Rowa are still intact in tow separate clusters in fair condition.
