There are references to the Coughlans, this branch were Protestant from around 1600 associated with Hulls and Boyle. Jeremy/Jeremiah married Susan Evanson of Gearhameen (Durrus Court), Durrus was Attorney, Seneschal, agent with Andrew Crotty for Boyle/Devonshire Estates in East Cork/Waterford. The Carrigmanus Coughlans are probably ancestors of one branch of the Durrus Dukelows, from Clashadoo. They are also probably ancestors of the Carrigaline Coughlans who may have been given a small estate by the Earl of Cork.

The Limricks mentioned in litigation with the Coughlans are prevalent in Co. Cork with Catholic as well as Protestant branches.

There is a reference in the family history to him and family members being taught by Collins. Probably not John Collins, ‘The Silver Tongue of Carbery’ even though he was a contemporary and in the area.

Meziere Brady’s History of Caheragh Parish, West Cork, from 1319 With Norman Connections.

There is a reference to John de Cogan and later the Colege of Youghal.
It is probably that the Norman had a settlement in the area coming up the Illen and Durrus Rivers. A legacy is a cluster of Norman names Burke, Barrett, Goggin, in the area.
