Notes


Note    N4         Index
No connection has been made with the ancestors of John and Maty in Ireland. The O Hanlon clan is associated with County Armagh in Ulster ( now Northern Ireland). Their roots will ultimately lie there. However many O Hanlon's moved to County Denegal (now in the Irish Republi)c The 1930 US Census responses for their children state their parents were born in the Irish Free State (Republic of Ireland). This points to John and Mary emmigrating from County Donegal.

The O Hanlon's are a sept of the O Nial clan. When clan's grew too large they split into septs The O Hanlon (Ua hAnluain ) sept descends from Nial of the Nine Hostages. Nial was on of the great Irish kings. His genealogy predates written history in Ireland. The oral history was preserved by missionaries in the 5th century. These ancient histories were compled in the 17th century by Francisca Monk Michael O'Clery into the Milsean Genealogies.

Nial's son Eochaidh Dubhlen had 3 sons in the 4th cenury who were known as The Three Collas: Muireadach, or Colla da Chrioch : "Colla of the two countries", i.e. Ireland & Scotland; Carioll, or Colla Uais : "Colla the Noble", 121st Monarch of Ireland; Meann, or, Colla Meann : "Colla the Famous".

Colla da Crioch appears in the Milesian genealogies as the 91st in his line and died in 357 AD. His descendant Anluain appears nine generations later as the 100th, probably born around the end of the seventh century A.D. The name Anluain comes from the Gaelic words 'an' = great and 'luain' = champion. It appears that the 104th in this line, Anluain's great great grandson Flaitheartach Ua'h-Anluain, was the first to use the Ua'h-Anluain surname.
