Hickie of Killelton:
Hickie of Killelton, Aghavallen par, nr Ballylongford, Co.Kerry, were major landowners, listed as owning 3400 acres in [Owners of Land, 1876].
[King] has information on them.

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?

David Hickie,
born 1792 or 1798 [David Hickie],
see descendants in [Hickie family tree],
NOT John, NOT Hickey,
farmer, of Pulleen (NOT Puleen), Kilnaughtin parish, E of Ballylongford, very NE corner of Co.Kerry,
mar est c.1830 [NOT 1851] to Mary Rahilly [born est c.1803],
he must be "David Hickey" who sp bapt of Bridget Patt 1844,
"David Hickie" is listed in [Griffiths Valuation] as occupying 52 acres (with a house) in Pulleen townland (the largest farm in Pulleen townland), leasing from William Sandes,
he died 1851 or 1874 [David Hickie],
[O'Rahilly family tree] has a date 8th Feb 1851, maybe this is his death,
though his son Michael's wedding entry in [GROI] seems to imply he fl 1871,
(todo) see death of David Hickie in [GROI], Glin, 1874, age 86, vol 15, p 175,
had issue:

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

2. John Hickie,
   bapt 25 December 1834 [Ballylongford RC par records].

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

   
   

3. Michael Hickie, born Pulleen,
   must be after grandfather,
   bapt 13 May 1837 [Ballylongford RC par records].

   
   

4. Mary Ann Hickie.

5. Hannah Hickie,

   mar --- O'Connor [from "Leana Mor" near Ballylongford],

   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.
