Includes Irish , Scots Irish, & English settlers Master Volume to the Series It contains the record of the great change in land ownership and power in Ireland. It tells the story of the old Irish families losing their land, and the new settlers who assumed it. A one-of-a-kind genealogical record. The specific names and locations are given. It is a primary source of information for those fortunate enough to refer to copies of the surviving volume by Rev. G. Hill. Rare Manuscripts & State Papers The author introduces his work as follows "The contents of this volume (vol. 1), may be described, in general terms, as a compilation from State Papers relating to the Plantation of Ulster... the Calendars of the Carew Manuscripts, and of other important collections of Irish State Papers". Before the Carew Manuscripts little was known of the seven year struggle (1595 - 1602). For a time before 1588 English rule was actually rather mysteriously popular, and Shane O'Neill was finally defeated in 1567 by the O'Donnells rather than the government. All Lands Lost Quoting the text we find that: "With only two, or perhaps three exceptions, every native landlord, and every native tenant within the bounds of the six counties was dispossessed and displaced; and although a few of both classes were afterwards permitted to share slightly in the great land-spoil, it was only in some other and less attractive localities than their own". Indeed many would eventually come to the shores of North America and other foreign lands as a result of this loss. Of the main families the records show that the Maguires (or McGuires) who occupied Fermanagh; The O'Hanlons who occupied ONealan and Orior; The Macanas or the McCanns of Clann Breasail (Clanbrazill); and the MacMahons of Monaghan; the ORiellys, the O'Cahans and others, had a long and distinguished history. How had several families in the area 'disappeared' by the 19th century ? Volume 1 shows Ireland and her families as they were before the fall, and as the plantation began. The 19th century historical footnotes are a history unto themselves. The new surname index added to this volume is invaluable to researchers. The latter is available only in this edition, published by the Irish Genealogical Foundation. Due to its historical importance, this volume has been printed and made available on its own. Juror Lists, Rent Rolls Among items of interest to family researchers are the lists of jurors, the rent rolls, and the lists of those applying to undertake the settlement (undertakers), and the lists of soldiers. The actions taken on the land then, are still evident today. If you would understand Ireland, you need to understand how this all began.
