Grove White Notes, Cork Past and Present Doneraile:

In the year 1834 an ancient amulet was dug up near Doneraile, and
was in the collection of Mr. Anthony, of Pilltown. It was in the form of
a species of murrain caterpillar. These amulets were used as charms for

Juan Peron President of Argentina, Descendaed from Spanish Morano Jews, and the Perrins of Ballinasloe, Co. Galway


durrushistory's avatarWest Cork History

The Perrins are of Huguenot descent and came to Ireland in the Willamette Wars moving through Derry and Athlone before setting in Ballnasloe.

There they were Silversmiths and Wine Merchants. Over time many migrated to Dublin where they became prominent in the legal profession.

It is believed that Juan Perons people were originally Perrins from the same French family originally but the name mutated over time. Juan Peron also is descended from the Moranos the Jews expelled from Spain. The Spanish government recently offered citizenship to any descendants thought to number 20 million.
