Hickie
Hickie
of
Pulleen, NE of Ballylongford, Co.Kerry.
Hickie of
Killelton, Aghavallen par,
NW of Ballylongford, Co.Kerry,
were major landowners in the area.
Hickie of
Pulleen were said to be some relation of Hickie of Killelton.
-
The genealogist
Basil O'Connell
corresponded with the descendants of Hickie of Pulleen in 1955,
and believed they were connected to his mother's family, Hickie of Killelton.
He was working on a Hickie family history.
(Did this ever appear?)
-
[Pierce, 1957]
says that Hickie of Pulleen is reputed to be connected to Hickie of Killelton.
He says there is a tradition that the family moved from
Pulleen to Killelton.
He says:
"I am sorry that I cannot deal more fully with the Hickeys of Pulleen,
but very little is known of them before 1780."
Unfortunately he does not print what little is known.
-
[Holly, 1981]
describes "Hickey's Farm" at Pulleen, NE of Ballylongford,
"now occupied by Thomas Moynihan ... The Hickeys of Pulleen who lived here were reputed to be connected
with the Hickeys of Kilelton, Ballylongford".
David Hickie,
born 1788
(according to age at death),
NOT John,
NOT Hickey.
He was a
farmer,
of
Pulleen (NOT Puleen), Kilnaughtin parish,
NE of
Ballylongford,
NE corner of Co.Kerry.
I wonder if he is
"David Hickie"
who witnessed a
Deed of 1823
between Leslie and Lindsay in nearby Tarbert.
David
mar 8 Feb 1831 to
Mary Rahilly.
He would be "David Hickey"
who sp bapt of
Bridget Patt 1844.
"David Hickie"
is
listed
in
[Griffiths Valuation, 1851]
as occupying 52 acres (with a modest house)
in Pulleen townland (the largest farm in Pulleen townland).
He is
leasing from
William Sandes.
They must be David Hickie and Mary Hickie who sp the bapt of their grandson
Joseph Broder 1868.
He is listed as "farmer" at death.
He died Pulleen, 10 July 1874, age 86 yrs
[GROI].
Mary died 24 Mar 1882
[P102/207(30)].
She would NOT be Mary Hickey,
"servant", widow,
who died 28 Dec 1881 in
Newcastle Workhouse, Co.Limerick,
age 86.
See
entry in
[GROI].
David and Mary
had issue:

There were Hickies well established in New York before 1886,
when their cousins
Mary and Kate Barrett
stayed with them.
- Mary Ann Hickie,
think born 1837 (if age 64 in 1901 census).
She is
listed as
"Marianne Broder" in
her aunt Margaret Rahilly's will 1875.
Listed as "Mary"
and "Mary Anne"
and "Mary Ann" at children's baptisms.
She
mar pre-1857 to Michael Broder
and had issue.
-
Michael Hickie,
born Pulleen,
must be after grandfather,
bapt 13 May 1837
[Ballylongford RC par records].
- Hannah Hickie,
Hanora,
born 6 Jan 1839 in Ballylongford.
It was recalled that she was born on the night of the
"Big Wind" of 1839.
Her grandson
recorded that Hannah was "a first
cousin of Richard O'Rahilly
the shopkeeper".
She is listed as of Pulleen at mar.
She

Shown on
[O'Rahilly family tree] in
[Sighle's papers, P106/320].
This may just be confusion with Ellen.
(It was originally thought that "Elizabeth" married Goulding,
but that was Ellen.)
However there is an "Elizabeth Hickie" who sp bapt of (would be her nephews)
David Broder 1860
and
Patrick Broder 1869.

Unless there has been a renumbering, the Hickie farm is plot 1, bordering on Kilcolgan.

Killelton House
Note it is
not proved that our Hickies are related to Hickie of Killelton.
Killelton House, near Ballylongford.
From
1887 to 1913 map.
The house is now part ruined (a wing remains).
See KILLELTON in
[Houses of Kerry].
Coincidence
I believe the following is an extraordinary coincidence.
[P102/207(30)]
says that Mary Hickie (widow of David Hickie who died 1874)
died on 24 Mar 1882.
There is in fact a "Mary Hickey" (unknown maiden name) who died in Co.Tipperary on that exact day,
widow of "John Hickey".
But I can't see how this could possibly be her.
(A second marriage in old age? In a different county?)
I think it is just an extraordinary coincidence.
- Mary ----,
born 1792.
She mar John Hickey [gamekeeper].
He died pre-1882.
She died 24 Mar 1882, Ballyknockane, Templetenny par,
SW Co.Tipperary, age 90 yrs
[GROI].
"William Hickey" listed as "stepson".
