Hickie of Pulleen:
[Holly, 1981] describes Hickey's Farm at Pulleen, "now occupied by Thomas Moynihan",
says "The Hickeys of Pulleen who lived here were reputed to be connected with the Hickeys of Kilelton, Ballylongford".
Basil O'Connell (also here), born 1900, a genealogist in Dublin, corresponded with this family in 1955, and believed they were connected to Hickie of Killelton. He was working on a Hickie family history for publication. (todo) Was it ever published?

1. Elizabeth Hickie, Ellen,
   mar --- Golding.

2. John Hickie.

   There were Hickies well established in New York before 1886, when their cousins Mary and Kate Barrett stayed with them.

3. Michael Hickie, born c.1838, Pulleen,
   must be after grandfather.

4. Mary Ann Hickie.

5. Hannah Hickie,
   born 6 Jan 1839 in Ballylongford (the night of the "big wind"),
   mar --- O'Connor [from "Leana Mor" near Ballylongford],
   died in Australia,
   had issue:
   1. Her grandson recorded that Hannah was "a first cousin of Richard O'Rahilly the shopkeeper".

• Michael O'Connor,
  is researching O'Connor of Australia above.

  
  

• This is NOT our Mary Rahilly:
  1. Mary ----, born 1792,
     widow of John Hickey, gamekeeper,
     died 24th Mar 1882, Ballyknockane, Templetenny par, SW Co.Tipperary, age 90 yrs [GROI].
     "William Hickey" listed as "stepson".

     Michael Hickie's mar 1871 lists father as David, not John.
     Names of grandchildren also suggest grandfather is David.
     Though I did have a note saying our Mary Rahilly "died 24th Mar 1882", can't remember where this note came from, maybe I just assumed the [GROI] person was her.

  
  

• Of the family of Hickie of Killelton:
