Two possible reasons present themselves for this.  The first was the possibility of his ancient family lands being restored to him.

The other if  he was of the ‘Wild Geese’ or his children.  It was often the case to  advance in Continental Society a certified Genealogy had to be produced.  The Breffni (Cavan) O’Reillys are an example.

There are reference to the O’Cullanes being related to the Swantons.
