Fionn O'Rahilly
Lisbabe on
1829 to 1842 map.
Fionn O'Rahilly,
of
Lower Lisbaby (or Lisbabe), Co.Kerry
(see
map),
born est c.1710.
This whole branch is called
the O'Rahilly "Fionn" tribe.
Though interestingly, his uncle
the poet
describes himself as "Aodhagan Fionn".
See
page 251
of
[Dineen and O'Donoghue, 1911].
Maybe the name Fionn goes back further.
Fionn probably
married Mary O'Sullivan.
We think this is who he married, rather than
Mary O'Donoghue "Mourney".
See note on wives of Morgan and Fionn.
Fionn and his wife
had issue:
- Conn O'Rahilly,
of Upper Lisbaby, Co.Kerry,
Cornelius or Con
[P102/207(4)],
Conn
[King, 1910],
eldest son, born est c.1735.
- Daniel Rahilly,
Donal,
of Lisbaby Lower,
born est c.1740.
- Thomas Rahilly,
Tom,
mar Ellen O'Donoghue,
possibly ancestor of
Rahilly of Tullig,
had issue:
- Joseph Rahilly,
died unmarried.
- Mary Rahilly,
mar pre-1824 to Richard Fitzgerald
and had issue.
She had a child baptised in 1824.
Perhaps Thomas is her grandfather, not father.
- Mathew Rahilly,
NOT Michael,
see
[P102/207(7)],
mar --- Hickey [or Hannan],
had issue:
- Patt Rahilly,
would be Patrick,
mar --- Hannan [or Hickey].
He may be identical with:
Patrick Rahilly, or Reilly,
possibly of Killarney,
mar Bridget Hannan,
had issue:
- Patrick Rahilly, of Melbourne, Australia.
- John Rahilly, of Melbourne.
- Matthew Rahilly,
"left Clare for America about 1848".

A family tree
[P102/208(118)]
says:
"There are other Rahillys, e.g.
Joe the famous fiddler,
who descend from the sons of Fionn of Lower Lisbaby, which are not included
because of uncertainty as to which son they descend from".
