Because of the lack of definitive records of the various medieval Irish septs and the various colonial intrusions the previous chapter gives just a abroad historical background  based on available references at present.
Hence my story begins  in 1470 ad in and around the ancient monastic village of Clonmore with Lorcan O'Byrne of Portrushen, an important local chieftain of the area situated about 6 miles west of  Clonmore, in County Carlow.
For easy reference the history is broken down into 16 generations, from 1450 to 2016, to giving the history of each family from actual available records and the results of which which have been confirmed by DNA testing over the past 20 years.​

​​​Hugh Geangagh O'Byrne was granted the Manor [castle] of Clonmore and 11 townlands  on a lease of 21 years by
​ Black Tom the Duke of Ormond in 1575.
Why ?  Because the Earl wanted a loyal barrier  between himself in Kilkenny and his enemy the FitzGeralds in Kildare .
