Background, Overview, Opinion and Theory

As worldwide genetic databases continue to grow and show steady market viability for medical companies, it becomes possible to learn more of the actual usefulness of all three genealogical genetic regions to marry or at least link the male and female lineages to one another, thusly setting a new baseline for a more in-depth analysis. It does become possible obtain both the yDNA signature and mtDNA signatures from the atDNA so long as the generation link does not exceed 8 solid generations as defined by the matching individual’s centimorgan relationships to the yDNA or mtDNA of the add-mixtures created before birth.

In my own case, I have in fact been tested on the Y chromosome by National Genographic, Family Tree DNA, and Ancestry Y-DNA when they still offered such a test. Thusly my genetic line ends within the R1b haplogroup on SNP R-BY72795 a subclade of R-FGC11134 which is where I correspond via male lines to the places and in some small case find the actual personal names used by shared ancestors.

The size of Databases and the Algorithms matter. Unfortunately, no service provider offers the tools necessary to lay the genomes one on top of another for comparison purposes. I only have my own DNA and become the pseudo baseline for my research and the power of spreadsheets that do parts of the dirty work for me that tire me to no end. I have observed for half a decade or more specific correlations between ALL the R-FGC11134 matches for myself and others in the Quinn DNA Project at Family Tree DNA.

From early 2010 until mid 2019 I was the sole Project Administrator of the Cuinn/Quinn Global Surname Project and all spelling an linguistic deviations related at all to the surname Cuinn which is the Gaelic way it would have been spelled letter for letter and is a possessive noun for the given name Conn. This is Conn’s half and this is Conn’s son Art mac Cuinn and so on. Some connected, mostly via the R-M222 dissimilar surnames and common Quinn surnames such as Neill in all its forms as this is the given name for Neill O’Cuinn. was very casually active from 2018 until earlier this year when Tim McEvoy aka Guinn volunteered to take the helm and I stood aside, and acquiesced.

The endeavor was highly educational albeit scientifically elaborate, but deficient in the accurate definitions as they seemed to be redefined multiple time throughout the year. How was it that I was able to produce a completely different picture than the matching algorithms could provide? I was labeled disingenuous by some and not at all authentic by others. No matter, I found by accident the verifiable way to connect the feminine lines to their corresponding male lines in the absence of both yDNA and mtDNA through the atDNA for at least for a few generations before any useful information dissolves .

As a result of having access to a couple hundred Quin yDNA lines and my own, I was set upon finding out more information about my line, then define the others in the form of the project’s participants projected sept affiliations from Conn of the Hundred Battles, the undisputed progenitor of the Cuinn surname through his elaborate lineages and through his descendants including his son Art mac Cuinn who ascended to the High Kingship of Tara. Surname use boys and girls. I could further elaborate such as with Leath Cuinn (Conn's Half) and Leath Moga (Mugh's half) as they relate to the legendary ancient divisions of Ireland and how the genetics of Cuinn in the south are only missing the R-M222 markers with most of the remaining marker matches in the specific modal ranges. I could tell you that Conn’s daughter, Art mac Cuinn’s sister Sadhbh was married to Ailill Aulom, a son of Mugh, who is more affectionately known and identified as both Mugh and Eoghan to solidify the ancient division and settlement between Conn and Mugh. I could then tell you how to show that those in the south are essentially the same as Sadhbh and those of the northern half are from Art and then his descendants especially Niall Ó Cuinn further identified as Niall "Noígíallach", the founder of the Uí Néill dynasties to the north, but I am not a scientist and do not subscribe to what science knows or does not know when they themselves use scholar-based intellect as their single instrument of discovery. An unwillingness to persevere and keep looking under rocks, behind the bark of trees, or just walk loudly through the forest neither hearing, seeing, or feeling all that surrounds and observes them passing by.

The Robert Frost Scenario

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; then took the other, as just as fair and having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear, though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, and both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

The Genetics of Thady Windham Thomas Wyndham-Quin, linking to Conn in nearly every Irish genealogy of ancient times to this date.

As a part of the Cuinn /Quinn Project there’s a kit that has no ownership details associated with an actual person. I was asked to keep it private, and a decade is near enough after Thady Windham Thomas Wyndham-Quin, 7th Earl of Dunraven and Mount-Earl (27 October 1939 – 25 March 2011) passed. The Earl of Dunraven, Mount Earl sought desperately to locate a male heir to take his place in the English/Irish Peerage. The Royal lineages claim descendance from Conn through him and others, but which they have a true, unbroken male lineage from Conn to the 1st through 5th earls which my atDNA validates correctly. My DNA represents that male lineage at least as far back as Judith O’Riordan and Donogh O’Quin and show up matching all female lines from her and the future earl’s offspring until the 6th and 7th earls who descend from Lord George Quin’s line who is styled a Quin, but without question is his offspring. George was born 10 March 1792 and passed on 6 February 1888.

George Taylour was born on 10 March 1792 and is the son of Thomas Taylour, 1st Marquess of Headfort and Mary Quin of the Earl of Dunraven line. Once George married, 1st Lady Georgiana Charlotte Spencer, the daughter of George John Spencer, the 2nd Earl Spencer and Lady Lavinia Bingham.

It was on 14 April 1814 when he was remarried for a 2nd time to Louisa Mary Isabella Ramsden, daughter of Sir John Ramsden, 4th Baronet and the Hon. Louisa Susan Ingram-Shepheard married 9 December 1847. George died on 6 February 1888 at the age of 95.

In 1813 by Royal License George Taylour’s name was legally changed to George Quin by Royal License. The children of now Lord George Quin and Lady Georgiana Charlotte Spencer are as follows.

George Thomas Quin (16 Feb 1815 - 23 Apr 1838)

Lavinia Jane Quin (21 Mar 1816 - 20 Feb 1888)

Rear-Admiral Richard Robert Quin (23 Aug 1820 - 22 Sep 1870)

Mary Quin (10 Feb 1823 - 14 Apr 1823)

Through this line the possibility anyone claiming descent from Conn cannot exist according to our understanding of dissimilar haplogroups. To connect to Conn, the first requirement is that the yDNA is at least, at bare minimum of the R1b haplogroup. This means the direct lineage is unbroken and is not of Néill O’Cuinn’s line as the Royal Houses of England assert and say they have verified and validated. I expect it is simply a matter of memory loss of the Royal Genealogist if such a thing exists.

This only means I was familiar with his alleged ancestor Donough O’Quin of Killmallock, Limerick, Ireland and all his family tree data that could be located.

But, because the Earl’s line is I-M438, and I am R1b, I had never considered my line remotely. It would not be until the very end of my own genetic genealogic journey that the the phenomenon of the autosomal DNA showing the females lines as the yDNA lines do for the man, except for ever, not just for five generations has proved the concepts I have used for at least 8 years. My futile attempts to relate my yDNA to anyone living. I specifically mean Laughlin and Mary Quin, née Canady of Newport Town, Carteret County, Province of North Carolina to their ancestors.

In wrapping up my study I began to close out my genetic matches on ancestry.com which exceeded 70,000 matches. I knew how to rule out names that I know. The remaining ones were an enigma until I began to see match names that were supposed to be in the I-M438 haplogroup, not the R1b haplogroup as in the Valentine Richard Quin. They were predominately lines associated with Thady/Teige O’Quin of Adare, Limerick, Ireland. The resulting data supports my assertion that I am a yDNA example of the true line of the Earl of Dunraven Mount-earl as these genetic matches before his generation are higher than distant cousin to distant cousin with lineages that either go nowhere or where very little information, if any at all exists. There is then their geography. Where was the test ordered from, what city, what country and so on?

The End is Nigh

To begin to determine the significance of it all I created a Google Earth Map that overlayed a wide range of data sources. I am not going to take the time to elaborate on each reference in detail. It is up to you to read the material and make up your own mind.

With all the datasets included in the first shuck, the massive dataset began to come crystal clear for me.

I tested my yDNA, worked it to the end. Nothing. Decided to investigate R-FGC11134 matches and voila, the matched the places in the atDNA which I immediately recognized if not completely everyone in the line, but two decades of information from the historic record all now made absolute sense to this researcher.

Laughlin Quin does not show up in any record before 1747 that bears the name Laughlin Quin outside of the September 1747 Pay Vouchers for what is defined in Beaufort, Carteret County, North Carolina as the Spanish Alarm. It has never been known any information as it pertains to that exact spelling as written by an English Educated Royal administrator by Colonel Thomas Lovick. perspective line by line but feel confident that that the 1st through the 5th Earl are genetically the same as me. The 6th and 7th are from the line of Lord George Quin by Royal License in 1813 from his birthname Taylour.

Lord George Quin was born on 10 March 1792. George was a son of Thomas Taylour, 1st Marquess of Headfort and Mary Quin. This is the place where the yDNA is replaced through an arrangement had been made to allow only for a male through a female descendant the male heir’s direct line. Mary Quin was simply a female descendant of Thady/Teige O’Quin

Mission

To define accurately and definitively my own genetic “source code” and place it upon the timeline of human history.

My wife La Donna Kay Jarrell and I are genetic matches @ approximately 200 years, how is this possible?

Determine whether the Richard Quinn that provided granted land to John Fitzgerald was my ancestor. This Richard Quinn is of Culpeper, VA which validates the kinship in my examination.

Determine Jarrell genetic origins and surname transformation to Jarrell which only appears in Virginia, Boone, West Virginia. In 1641 John Fitz Gerald forfeits 1.2 acres of Adare, Limerick and transferred in 1642 to Sir Edward Ormesby.

Determine my grandmother’s Rivenbark genetic origins and surname transformation to Rivenbark which only appears emanates from Pender and Duplin counties North Carolina. Joh Henrich Reiffenberg 1695 - 1772 Born in Oberreifenberg, Hochtaunuskreis, Hesse, Germany Husband to Anna Atkinson 1735 - 1779 of Cheshire, England. NOTE that there were on the lands of Adare a German Palatine settlement was at the same time supported by Thady O’Quin.

The Family of Laughlin & Mary

His name can be spelled Laughlin, Loflin, Loftin or Lofton Quin or Quinn and can be located within the Colonial and State Records of North Carolina in the Secretary of State Papers where his original will was kept since the founding of the State of North Carolina; when I last handled the will on hemp paper roughly the size of a piece of posterboard in today’s terms. The will was retired from handling or viewing, and I had NC Archives digitize the will in high resolution and make it available to the public in digital form through suggestion.

The following image shows the will at its folds in the center of the document.

Documents showing Laughlin Quin and Mary Canady Quinn together do not exist or have not been located outside of the will where he most peculiarly names his wife as formerly Mary Canaday. This in an extremely unusual declaration and offers plenty of room for me to speculate as to why. For more than 75 years the NC Archives have used this will as a teaching aid for Archivist and Researcher alike. To the best of my knowledge the couple never appear together in the form of a tax roll, land record, or census in Carteret County or any other NC or VA for that matter. The associated children of Laughlin Quinn are then three if the will is taken at face value.

The Last Will and Testament contains the names of his children with Mary at the time of his death. The presumption has persisted that there were other as the land records of Carteret, Craven, Chowan, Dobbs, Duplin, Edgecombe, Jones, and New Hanover clearly must have records contained. In North Carolina we know of these losses of records of all variety and the others fell prey to destruction in all forms.

The last critical clue was the fact that his will in the Secretary of State Papers. Further investigation reveals his will was found in the personal upstairs study of the last Royal Governor’s desk. Josiah Martin of Antiqua, London and Dublin. In researching Josiah Martin, we find Josiah’s half-brother; Samuel Martin and Laughlin Quin together on the tithe rolls for St. Michan church in Dublin.

Before I go any further I wanted to offer a bit of history when searching for records for records in North Carolina. If you need to, you should check county formation dates and how the records were housed and kept in various counties that would not make any sense in 2022.

Back to the Last Will & Testament. There are those that assert that Thomas was his eldest male child not yet married, which is given rise during the American Revolution when Mary and Thomas sell the Bogue Sound land and relocate to Limestone, or what becomes Potter’s Hill and Beulaville in Duplin County, North Carolina. This land is precise and is surrounding by ALL her children as her estate settlement begins to unravel the other children when Caleb Quin and his brothers all surround and adjoin her property. Then Caleb Quinn in Albertson, Duplin, just down the road as the eldest male child distributes the estate not naming the children by name and having made most all deeds or transactions in her lifetime. Mary Canaday the elder is listed in Windsor, Bertie County, or Old Berkeley Precinct, North Carolina with her granddaughter Mary and her 6 children, none by name.

Windsor is west of Edenton by approximately 21 miles. The court records for these areas have been destroyed on several occasions prior to the American Revolution and the county boundaries have frequently been altered.

From Births, Marriages and Deaths in Berkeley (later Perquimans Precinct) The following are two excerpts of The North Carolina Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume 3.J.R.B. Hathaway, Editor and Financial Agent

[From the Internet Archive](Original in the Court House at Hertford, N. C.)

Mary Cannady daughter of Patrick Cannaday & wife Elizabeth was borne March. 4, 1686-7.

Cannady daughter of Patrick Cannady & wife was borne June 25, 1686.

Patrick Cannady son of Patrick Cannady & wife Elizabeth was borne June 26, 1689.

These names are further associated in old Orange in Virginia where the area later becomes Culpeper, Virginia. It is believed and evidenced to a small degree through the historic record for land and will transactions between Le Roy Canady and Darby Quinn and Darby’s wife Mary Ashworth Quin. I believe Richard Cannaday of Maryland and Le Roy Canady of Culpeper are brothers, albeit unproved. For in the records of Maryland at Annapolis and the surrounding settlements we find Richard Quin and Richard Cannaday in the same settlements.

In September of 1747 we find that Laughlin Quin, Cornelius Canaday, Richard Canaday, and Thomas Canaday on the same payroll records for what is known as the Spanish Alarm in North Carolina.

In the documents we find many Canaday and Quin men further associated in the 1747 documents of the Carteret Count English Militia and then in the land distributions later on for Laughlin, Loflin and Loftin Quinn and Quin.

Better than 94% of the associated surnames in my atDNA matches for Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland are from the same places today in both the female and male lines associated with the mother’s maiden names and their family trees that lead back to disconnected Quinn family trees. This detail shows the trail or the echo for this genetic genealogic interpretation and explanation.

Front of Will

“Feb the 17 1766 in the name of God, Amen. I Loflin Quinn of Carteret County in the Province of North Carolina being in health of body and sound in mind and of perfect memory praise be to God for the same and knowing the uncertainty of this life on Earth and being delirious to settle things in order to make this my last will and testament in manner and form following forever in principle I commend my soul to God who gave it and my body to the earth from whence it was taking to be buried in such decent and Christian as so my executors hereafter named and taking such worldly estate as the lord in mercy hath lent me my will and meaning is the same shall be employed and believed as hereafter by Ecp I give and bequeath unto my loving wife Mary Quinn formerly Mary Canaday all my worldly estate during her widowhood. Then I give and bequeath to my son William Quinn five shillings, then I give and bequeath to my daughter Margret Quinn two shill and five pence then I give to my son Thomas Quinn the plantation where I now dwell, then I give all my movables to be equally divided among my children heirs of my beloved Mary after her deceased. I do appoint my loving wife Mary Quinn executrix and James Frazer executor of this my last will and testament and witness hereof I have set my hand and seal the day and year above written.

William Coale, Sarah Coale, Abigail Coale his

Loflin +Quinn {SEAL} mark

Back of Will

The Reverse Side of the Will with Endorsement by Jo. Martin, Royal Governor of 1774 is transcribed as follows:

“The written last will and testament of Loflin Quinn was proved before me this 5th day of February 1774 by the oath of William Coale who swore that he was present and did see the witnesses testator sign seal publish and declare the same to be and witness his last will and testament and that at the time whereof he was of sound and disposing mind and memory agreed James Frazer the executor in the said will named having taken the oaths of executors and qualified agreeable to law It is ordered that Letters Testamentary is written accordingly. Jo. Martin”.

Laughlin passed February of 1774 and then in 1778 Mary and CPL Thomas Quinn sell the 100 acres originally land granted by Col. Thomas Lovick to the Planter Laughlin Quin in 1749. This information is evidenced by the records of the September Court of 1778, Carteret County Court Minutes, Volume IV, Deed of Sale. Mary Quinn and her son Thomas sell the original 100 acres of land granted in September of 1749 and returned to the crown in 1750 on September 8, 1778. The deed was witnessed by the oath of Richard Canaday and Francis Garner and is contained in Carteret County Deeds, Volume IV, March 1778 to June 1789.

Above is the deed of Duplin and Survey data whereby she borders Thomas Quinn on the west side of her grant. On the following page we see the present-day representation of the grant from above from Google Maps.

Laughlin Quin, my ancestor as he is known, is from Carteret County, in the Province of North Carolina. Until this work, nothing has been made of his contribution to early North Carolina’s history. Little first hand accounting is available, but a few documents that are in the Colonial and State Archives of North Carolina do however, prove certain details about the man, but little about whom he was in a genealogical perspective. Indeed as one examines the remaining materials, more questions are raised than answered. In this manuscript, my objective is to vet out what is fiction, or fictitious and let the documented record play its hand out using modern genetics to find forgotten or unimagined paths to the true origins of an ancestor that has long expired and returned to the creator.

1747 - THE SPANISH ALARM

In 1747 Laughlin Quin first appears within the Colonial and State Records of North Carolina in document CSR22-0046 for the period of June 14, 1747 - September 10, 1747, Volume 22, Pages 262-268, whereas the document is titled the “Payroll for Thomas’ Lovick’s Regiment of the North Carolina Militia” and is undated and without a known author. The document provides us with many crucial elements, based on time and manner of men that recorded these initial documents in North America for this, my earliest known ancestor Laughlin Quin. We are provided with the specific and first known date his name was recorded in the historic record, the specific place he was known and is recorded as having been a part of a specific encounter and whom his allegiance, his peers and fellows of that precise point-in-time were.

The document is List of Soldiers in the Regiment under the Command of Colonel Thomas Lovick, who Appeared by Sundry Alarms & By Summon, To Attack and Keep off the Enemy Who had Invaded the Town of Beaufort and Harbor Adjacent.

The second from the last entry on page 265 is my ancestor Laughlin Quin who was paid on September 10, 1747 for 6 days of service to the Crown and I therefore presume the start date would have been from the 4th to the 10th of September 1747 when the Spanish Privateers departed Beaufort Harbor in what was then Topsail Inlet. Not to be confused with present-day New Topsail Inlet in Pender County, North Carolina. The remaining aspect of this document define officers, their pay and powder provision.

1749 - 1750 PLANTER

In the September Court of 1749, held in New Bern, we learn that the same Thomas Lovick as was a Colonel above, is now identified as Esquire does assign 100 acres and 100lbs Flax seed to Loflin Quin, planter to be evaluated at a plot adjacent to the mouth of Jumping Run Creek and the Bogue Sound that adjoined the Colonel’s and others including George Read, the Regimental Clerk paid for 14 days in 1747. In the September Court of 1750 Loflin Quin releases his rights to the 100 acres as unsuitable for growing Flax and returns his remaining allocation of seed back to the crown. George Read witnesses the transaction. (Apparently received in with 220 additional acres in 1764 as it was the tract sold by wife Mary and son Thomas in 1778)

1753 - WITNESSES DEED It would be three years and in the June Court of 1753 we find that Loflin Quin is witness to a Samuel Whitehurst deed for 200 acres on Bogue Sound from Ann Wilkins attested by Valentine Wallace and Loflin Quin and ordered registered by the court. Samuel Chadwick Whitehurst to be precise.

1758 - JOSEPH BELL’S TAX LIST

It would not be until 1758 when Joseph Bell creates a Tax List as the Clerk of Court for Carteret County that Loflin appears in the written record again. The tax list identifies Laughlin who is expected to married to Mary with ALL of their children accounted for. However, not a one is listed for Carteret County Tax purposes. He is listed only as an individual with no other persons, but his brother-in-law Owen Canaday is just down the path. The question thusly, is where are Mary and all of their children? They are not in Carteret County as of 1758.

1761 - JURYMAN

In 1761, Beaufort Town nominates a jury to lay out a road from the north side of Newport River from Newell Bell’s property to New Bern with Loflin Quin assigned as one of the jurymen. This item is from the Carteret County Court Minutes of Pleas and Sessions from August Court, the same year.

1764 - GOV ARTHUR DOBSS ASSIGNS 320 ACRES

On November 9, 1764 a survey ordered and recorded in Carteret County as evidenced in Carteret County Deed Book 18, Page 103. This is the original 100 Planter allotment from 1749 + 220 acres that exist today in Newport, Carteret, NC and the descendants of Laughlin live today. Laughlin’s grave is on this PRIVATE land and is shown in the following photograph taken by David Gould.

For the 1764, November Court, Carteret County Deed Book 18, Page 103 Grant Number 177, dated November 9, 1764; Loflin Quinn is deeded 320 acres on the north side of Bogue Sound joining the mouth of Jumping Run, David Shephard, Col. Lovick and the sound.

Today, portions of this tract remains in the hands of the Abner Quin line and is where we find the grave of Loflin Quin and his Gould allies in greater number than Quin. Portions of this land are in the Croatan National Forest with other areas in Newport, Carteret, NC.

The land where Loflin Quinn is buried are maintained by Bo Quinn and his family.

1765 - JURYMAN

In 1765, the December Court of Pleas and Sessions for Carteret County we find Loflin and others are again appointed to lay out the road that was ordered previously in 1761. Whereas the road on the north side of the the Newport River from Newell Bell’s property to New Bern was not continued through the jury and therefore appointed another jury that also included Loflin Quinn and that the clerk of court send summons to the Constable so as that he deliver summons personally to Loflin and all others to meet at Newell Bell’s home on the second Thursday in January next to lay out the road with penalty of 20 shillings each if not so executed.

1766 - WRITES WILL

The following year, 1766 we find in a miscellaneous box in the NC Secretary of State Papers for documents of the last Royal Governor, Josiah Martin that Patriots took from Tryon Palace when Martin fled. We find the “Last Will and Testament” for Loflin Quinn dated February 17, 1766 proved February 4, 1774. Governor Martin, after his home was attacked by Whigs on 24 April 1775, he sent his family to his in-laws' home to Whitehall, New York and took refuge onboard the sloop-of-war HMS Cruizer. He then transferred his headquarters to Fort Johnston on the Cape Fear River. When the Mecklenburg Resolves were published in May 1775, Martin transmitted a copy to England, which he described as "setting up a system of rule and regulation subversive of his majesty's government." Martin then requested a supply of arms and ammunition from General Thomas Gage in Boston. In July 1775, a plot instigated by Martin to arm the slaves was discovered. In retaliation, John Ashe led a group of colonists against Fort Johnston on 20 July. Martin was forced to flee aboard the Cruizer while the colonists destroyed the fort. Martin remained off the coast of North Carolina, directing the rising of the Loyalists, whom he supplied with weapons brought from England. It should be noted that another Laughlin Quin in Dublin was at the same time, in the congregation with the Martin family also from Dublin at St. Michan’s Roman Catholic Church. It is rather curious that the will was not filed in the usual place and instead was taken from an upstairs study where Martin held many of his personal papers. Martin. in his haste to flee in 1775, was only able to collect the Crown’s paper. What we find in the boxes are those items left behind at the time of his departure and are maintained in the NC State Archives in Raleigh, NC.

In the will, which archivist and historians at North Carolina Archives have used as a part of their training for archivist have not only belabored the content of this will for more than 50 years, but also why it was in the desk of the last Royal Governor of the Province of North Carolina; Josiah Martin. To their knowledge in 2011, I was the first Quinn to have examined the document for genealogical purposes. By 2014 the will was retired as it had become exceedingly fragile due to being hemp paper and the components of the hemp paper were decomposing quickly as it was handled far more frequently. Digitized in High Resolution, the will is available in digital form from the NC Archives in Raleigh.

Back of Will (Not Shown)

The Reverse Side of the Will with Endorsement by Jo. Martin, Royal Governor of 1774 is transcribed as follows:

1766 - JURYMAN

Again for 1766 we are able to locate documentation supporting the will was written whilst Laughlin was in good health. For in the December Court of 1766 we find the road to New Bern remains under development. Whereas an existing court order for laying out a road from Newell Bell’s to the new bounds and that a new jury to be summoned to lay out same, and as it was not performed, the court appoints Loflin Quinn and others to meet on the first Saturday of September next and if raining, the next fair day to perform same.

1772 - PLEA FILED FOR TAX EXEMPTION

It would not be until 1772 that we are able to decipher the vitals for Laughlin through a plea he filed with the Court of Pleas and Sessions to be exempt from paying taxes.

1772, March Court, Carteret County, Pleas and Sessions August 1764 - December 1777

Laughlin Quinn submitted a petition, and it was read before the court. The petition stated that Laughlin Quinn hath been an inhabitant of this county for thirty odd years and have paid his taxes in the said county ever since and now has arrived to the age of sixty years, and unable to support himself and family and pay his taxes, prays the court to represent the same to the assembly and that the clerk order that the a copy of the same be made and sent to the assembly in New Bern.

Date of Birth and Time in North Carolina

The plea reports that Laughlin, through his own admission had arrived to the age of 60. This can be expressed in a mathematical formula that gives us the approximate birth year of Laughlin. 1772-60=1712

The plea further advises us that Laughlin Quin has paid his taxes in Carteret County for 30 odd years. This is a vague statement, but we can assign a date range using the 30 years and then the “odd” reference to calculate the year range.

1772-31=1741

1772-33=1739

1772-35=1737

1772-37=1735

1772-39=1733

We now can estimate that Laughlin Quin likely arrived to Carteret County between the years 1733 and 1741, from where, there is no published evidence that can shed light, ir corroborate his prior location from the historic record that I have been able to locate.

1773 - PLEA ACCEPTED

On Wednesday, January 27, 1773 the North Carolina House met according to adjournment on Wednesday, January 27, 1773 at the State Capital in New Bern where Mr. William Davis one of the members of the County of Brunswick and Mr. McCulloh, one of the members for Halifax County appeared and on motion ordered that William Steel, and Ignatious Wheeler, of Surry County, Loftin Quinn, William Barnes, James Hutchinson, Joshua Mezzick, William Bevin, James Salter and Thomas Bragg, of Carteret County, and William Chandler of Currituck County be exempt from paying public taxes and doing public duties.

https://docsouth.unc.edu/csr/index.html/document/csr09-0170#p9-451

FEBRUARY 5th, 1774 - WILL PROVED Based upon the Letters testamentary for Laughlin Quin, we learn he died likely Friday, February 4th, 1774 as his will accepted by Josiah Martin on Saturday, the 5th of February 1774.

1772 March Court Carteret County

Pleas and Session August 1764 - December 1777

We now can estimate that Laughlin Quin likely arrived to Carteret County between the years 1733 and 1741 from an unknown location and to an unknown location, but does appear in early North Carolina. John Quinn appears in Chowan Count at Edenton in the Unanimity Masonic Lodge founded from the Grand Lodge number 193 during the same period and later in New Bern, Wilmington and in the highland communities of North Carolina and it believed by this researcher that John and Darby are his brothers, or 1st cousins.

It is by the names alongside him during this period that show the family’s movement into Craven County, Carteret County, Duplin County, Jones County, Onslow County, Dobbs County, Edgecombe County, Albemarle Precinct, Berkeley Precinct, Chowan and Bertie Counties of North Carolina.

Not coincidentally the burial location of Laughlin Quin is on the original land grant where through the descendants of his son Abner with his heirs holding the land today. In addition to the Quin and Quinn graves there, we find many Gould family members who arrived from Ireland and are well represented in the Thady Quin’s descendants who married into the Quinn line again when his grandson Loftin Quinn married Mary “Polly” Gould. The cemetery is known affectionately as the Quinn Gould Cemetery in Newport, Carteret, North Carolina.

LAUGHLIN QUIN DESCENDANTS

Laughlin Quin and Mary Quin née Canady were the mother and father of the following children. Every line is verified genetically whereas on my Y-chromosome they are identical matches from male 1st cousin 1x removed to male 1st cousins 12x removed, to the male line of Laughlin.

1.Caleb Quin (1745-1833) who married Virginia Jane “Jenny” Johnston, my ancestor.

2.Amos Quin (1746 -).

3.Enoch Quin (1747-1832) who married Mary Anne Dennis.

4.Margaret Quin (1748 -).

5.David Quinn (1749-1837) who married Easther Williams.

6.George Quin (1750-1805) the identical twin to Abner who married Nancy Countryman Stewart.

7.Abner Quin (1750-1815) the identical twin of George, who married 1. Mary Shepherd 2. Sarah Bell who bore Loftin Bell Quin (1794-1881) who married Mary Polly Gould, a daughter of Michael Saunders Gould and Elizabeth “Betsy” Post. They are all interred at the Quin-Gould Cemetery in Carteret County, North Carolina with Laughlin Quin. Mary Canady Quin is buried on her lands in Limestone, Beulaville, Duplin County, North Carolina where she was encircled by all her children until her death in 1793. The land was a part of a grant before the American Revolution where her and son Thomas Windham Quin of the 10th NC Continental Line sold 100 Acres to another family ally

8.Thomas Windham Quin (1750-1805) who married Catherine Brittain Ford

9.William Loftin Quinn (1752-1854) who married Olive Hatcher

Laughlin Quin’s grave is on private Quinn lands originally patented to him in 1749 by King George II or German George August where his grave and the graves of many Gould and Quin and Quinn family members are interred today. Credit for this work belongs to David Gould a descendant.

Laughlin Quin had arrived from unknown parentage and appears on a payroll for militia service in Carteret, County, Beaufort Town by the early fall of 1747. He is listed as a resident of the Province of North Carolina serving under Colonel Thomas Lovick when Beaufort was captured by Spanish Privateers in September of 1747. When the town was recaptured and bandits driven back to sea, he was paid for 10 days of service Laughlin sometime Lawrence is also named within the letters of Thomas Lovick an educated man living on the parcel of land beside Col. Lovick's, living alone while his wife and children are being educated by the Kennedy women of Windsor, Bertie County which is within 10 miles of Edenton in Chowan County across the Chowan River.

It should be further noted here that Laughlin Quin’s will was captured in New Bern when Governor Martin was forced to flee for his life after his home was attacked by Whigs on 24 April 1775 when he sent his family to his in-laws' home in New York and himself taking refuge on board the sloop-of-war HMS Cruizer, transferring his headquarters from New Bern to Fort Johnston on the Cape Fear River. Laughlin’s Will was in an upstairs personal study in the desk of Josiah Martin. These documents and many others with them became a part of the State and Colonial Records of North Carolina, Secretary of State Papers and offer a final clue when the two men, Josiah Martin and Laughlin Quin are connected to one another in Dublin years earlier while on the tithe rolls together at St. Michan Church north of the river Liffey.

At the time the book by Countess of Dunraven’s book was published, my ancestor Laughlin Quin was a landholding resident and taxable at 880 acres in Newport, Carteret County, Province of North Carolina. On February 3rd, 1775, Laughlin Quin passes and, on the 4th, George Read delivers Laughlin’s Last Will and Testament to Josiah Martin in New Bern, Craven County, Province of North Carolina whom writes Letters Testamentary on the reverse of the will and places “this” will in his private upstairs desk. The will, an enigma for scholars, archivists, historians, and genealogists has proven impossible to explain until now. Both Laughlin and Josiah’s half-brother Samuel of Antiqua are found in the same tithe rolls for St. Michan’s Roman Catholic Church in Dublin and reside less than 2 miles apart in County Wicklow, Leinster, Ireland. After Governor Martin’s home in New Bern was attacked by Whigs on 24 April 1775, he sent his family to his in-laws' home in New York and took refuge on board the sloop-of-war HMS Cruizer where he transferred his headquarters to Fort Johnston on the Cape Fear River. The files in the upstairs locations of the home were left untouched. It was only those papers belonging to the crown that were saved by Josiah Martin. The left behind documents became the basis for the Secretary of State papers in the Colonial and State Records of North Carolina. The will with other documents were housed in the Secretary of State Papers as Miscellaneous Papers in boxes.

Laughlin is mentioned in both the private papers of the Martin families and in the Royal papers of Colonel Thomas Lovick through correspondence between Samuel Martin and one of his sons Henry Martin, a British member of parliament and secretary to the Treasury. Henry became comptroller of the Navy, a member of parliament, and a baronet. His brother Josiah was the last Royal Governor of the Province of North Carolina.

This was bluntly the end of what the physical record could reveal. The link to Laughlin Quin’s parents and siblings remains wholly lost in the physical record. Exercises such as the exhaustive research into the rare spelling of “Laughlin” for centuries is a prime example of the difficulties associated with developing this manuscript. Laughlin as it was discovered dated back to the time of Palladius’ arrival to Ireland. Palladius was the first bishop over the Christendom of Ireland, preceding Saint Patrick. He was a deacon and member of one of the prominent families in Gaul. In this case, the name Laughlin of this spelling is attributed to Sechnalll or Secundinus of 5th century Ireland. As a rule, the name Laughlin and Loughlin are entirely different and mean different things. Laughlin in a Gaelic context means servant of St. Secundinus.

Little is known about the saint and his cult. His foundation is Domnach Sechnaill 'Church of Sechnall', now Dunshaughlin in County Meath not far from Tara. T.M. Charles-Edwards suggests that the site may have belonged originally to the province of Leinster rather than Mide, but that the political geography had changed by the 8th century when much of southern Brega was divided between different septs of the Síl nÁedo Sláine. By that time, Domnach Sechnaill lay in the kingdom of the Uí Chernaig which is very close to the royal crannóg seat in Loch nGabor, as did the churches of Trevet and Kilbrew.

I do suspect that this person Sechnall is named for Secundus of Asti who was beheaded circa 119CE. He is venerated as a martyr and saint with his feast day generally celebrated on March 29. From the earliest times until the 15th century his feast day was celebrated in Asti on March 30. For the church’s own reason, it is now celebrated in Asti on the first Tuesday in May. Secundus of Asti was a historical figure who was beheaded at Asti under the Roman Emperor Hadrian. He is said to have been a patrician of Asti and subaltern officer in the imperial army. It is known that a church was dedicated to him around Asti as early as the 9th century.

Later legends made Secundus a member of the Theban Legion. A more elaborate legend states that he was a young man of noble lineage who often visited the jails of Asti. Secundus was a friend of Sapricius the Prefect of the city. The men traveled together to the city of Tortona, where Secundus met the city's first bishop, Marcian, who was later martyred under Hadrian. Secundus' meeting with Marcian influenced his decision to become a Christian and his meeting with Faustinus and Jovita further influenced his conversion. His friend Sapricius attempted to make him abjure his newfound faith and when Secundus refused, Sapricius had him tortured and decapitated.

Consequentially the Royals and their subjects were forced to accept and convert to Roman Catholicism. The importance of the line of Thady Quin of Adare is quite significant to draw an unbroken yDNA or male link Conn of the Hundred Battles. From Conn his descendant Neill O’Cuinn aka Niall of the Nine Hostages appears and creates the Uí Néill dynasty giving the monarchy strong unbroken yDNA ties to the 2nd century warlord and lawgiver Conn. Conn’s father Fedlimid Rechtmar is the person responsible for instituting the Hebrew Principal of an “Eye for and Eye” into Brehon Law in Ireland.

Laughlin in this case is taken literally to mean “Servant of St. Secundinus” and is prevalent generationally from John Ó Cuinn’s line of well-educated Jesuits who enjoyed all levels of achievement and prominence in Irish culture, even today.

During the 2nd century we find the ancient division of Ireland that splits the whole island into halves. Leath Cuinn or “Conn's Half” and Leath Moga “Mugh's half” represent ancient divisions of Ireland where Leath Cuinn was the island north of the Esker Riada or the east-west drumlin belt from Dublin to Galway Bay. The division was the result of a treaty agreed upon by Mug and Conn at the end of the Battle of Maigh Nuadad in 123CE. Conn’s army was defeated by Mug Nuadat who is aka Eoghan Mor where Eogan forced Conn to accede to the division of the whole Island. Conn’s half would be the area in the north taking in Connacht, Ulster, and Meath, whereas to the south being Eogan’s half taking in Munster, Osraighe and Leinster. To solidify the treaty, Conn's daughter, Sadhbh was married to Ailill Aulom, son of Eoghan.

The Eoganacht dynasty in Munster are reportedly descendants of Oiloill Olum and hold the historical right as overkings of Leath Moga’s overlordship over Leinster and Munster through the early medieval age. A claim that is contested and disputed by other scholars and the Uí Néill.

In the 12th century at the Synod of Ráth Breasail, the north-south division of Ireland was the basis for the creating and dividing the various dioceses throughout Ireland.

If not the very first, certainly one of the first surnames appears through Conn’s son Art. Art is identified specifically as Art mac Cuinn. Conn reportedly had three children with Eithne Táebfada: Art, Connla & Sadhbh.

JESSE QUIN & QUINN

It was in the records of Wills and Estates that Jesse Quin is named the son of Caleb Quin and Virginia Jane “Jenny” Johnston Quin was named the heir and executor of his estate. Caleb was a Quartermaster Sergeant in the Wilmington District Militia during the American Revolution and is recognized with all his brothers, the sons of Laughlin as having served in the American Revolution for the cause of freedom from England. Jesse was one of four children of Caleb and Jenny. Jesse’s brother Ichabod Quinn died during the US Civil War of Disease at Webbers Falls is a town in southeastern Muskogee County, Oklahoma as a member of 51st Regiment, North Carolina Infantry as they fought with Cherokee Confederate General Stand Watie who had established a headquarters at Webbers Falls during the Civil War. In 1863, Union troops tried to capture Watie, but failed. Before leaving, they burned the town, including Vann's antebellum home.

FRANKLIN PUGH QUINN known as Pugh Quinn

In my Great Grandfather Pugh Quinn’s generation, he spoke Gaelic and his wife Minnie Victoria Davis also spoke Gaelic and Latin indicating some amount of education whether known or unknown. In fact, this tidbit comes from my Great Uncle Eddie and Great Uncle Laster Quinn who only knew when she was speaking Gaelic to them, they were in deep trouble, according to them both. Their given names are Edward Daniel Quinn and Lassiter Morrison Quinn, the brothers of my Grandfather Joseph Samuel Quinn aka Joe and Josiah. I never knew Joe, he had been killed in a trucking accident in August of 1957. Joe was born in Pink Hill, Lenoir, NC on 23 July 1912 on the farm where his father Pugh was listed as an overseer in the 1910 US Census.

Pugh became a sharecropper in Duplin and Jones counties to other parts of the family living predominantly in Wolfscrape with siblings and half-siblings on Beautancus Road. He lived with his 1st cousins working their land in and around Albertson, Chinquapin, Indian Springs in Duplin County. Then in Jones County with his 1st Cousins in Comfort, North Carolina. He had also performed duties as overseer for his family in Pink Hill, Lenoir, North Carolina for an extended period of time. His wife Minnie shared time between Duplin County and Winston-Salem, North Carolina. They had five children, McDonald Franklin Quinn of Maitland, Florida or Mac. Lassiter Morrison Quinn or Laster of Orlando, Florida and Sevierville, Tennessee. Blanch Estelle Quinn Leach of Maitland, Florida and my grandfather Joseph Samuel Quinn who is known as Joe and buried as Josiah, in honor of his mother’s father Josiah Davis. The youngest was Edward Daniel Quinn or Eddie and I All four of Pugh and Minnie’s children left the farm earlier than most and went into the Transportation business that was predominately associated with Citrus and Vegetable crops with their Herring and Garner kin in Dade City and Plant City, Florida. Mac drove for Tom’s Snacks. Laster owned a large Tom’s Snacks in Orlando when Walt Disney came to town and held that contract for a decade and continued until he retired and moved to Tennessee.

Here’s what I know as it is written in the family bible for Jesse Quin then Quinn, the son of Caleb and grandson of Laughlin & Mary Canady “Kennedy” Quin then Quinn. Both Laughlin and Mary are both of Culpeper which was born from Old Orange County of the Virginia Colony.

From here it has been genetically tested and verified utilizing atDNA, or autosomal DNA at Ancestry.com. yDNA has been verified with the Quinn of Carteret County as well as atDNA that we are of the same genetic line of Laughlin. Laughlin Quin 1712-1774 is buried in what today is most affectionately known as the Quinn Gould Cemetery on the land granted to Laughlin in 1749 where his son Abner’s line is still extant on the granted land bordering the Croatan National Forest. This means that for my North American line, I am 100% certain both based upon the written record in all forms with yDNA matches.

In my case, beyond my great grandfather no information had been retained for their link to the Bertie, Carteret, Chowan, Craven, Duplin, Edgecombe, Jones, New Hanover, or the family in Virginia at and about Appomattox and Richmond for the Quinn line. The same is NOT true for my mother or the Lamm’s of Wilson, North Carolina who are living in much the same places, for the most part. The Quinn lines from my Grandfather Franklin “Pugh” Quinn of Wolfscrape, Duplin County and “Minnie” Victoria Davis Quinn of Smithtown, Yadkin County North Carolina is another story. Pugh was born 10 June 1873 during Reconstruction, by the time he reached 18 nearly all the Jesse Quinn family’s 1,100 Duplin County acres had been liquidated on the courthouse steps for tenths of pennies on the dollar by those that had managed to bring forth Union currencies at the end of the United States Civil War. By 1909 his father Frank Quinn had passed while being separated from his wife Julia Ann Garner Quinn who visited the Quinn family in Richmond frequently and lived with her daughter Lena Cornelia Quinn Davis, the wife of John Calhoun Davis in Warsaw, Duplin County, North Carolina. John Calhoun Davis is of Smithtown, Yadkin County, North Carolina just as his mother and would have been a 2nd cousin to Lena. Lena kept the family bible and passed it to her daughter as stated earlier. She was always in contact and knew so much about our family there.

Minnie Victoria Davis, to her daughter Lena Cornelius Quinn, who had the bible down to her granddaughter Kim Rebecca Gatta Peacock Hasty the daughter of June Davis Jackson Gatta. Kim shared it with my father, who in turn allowed me to photograph the handwritten information from the bible.

Watson Franklin Quinn known as Frank Quinn, William Quinn and W.F. Quinn

Frank Quinn of Beautancus Road is actually Watson Franklin Quinn of the NC 1st Cavalry, Company I and being hospitalized in Richmond after Sharpsburg returned to the family lands on Beautancus Rd where he rejoined the Confederate cause with the NC 31st Artillery 1st Company I or Herring Artillery, then reassigned to the 40th Artillery 3rd Company G ultimately being captured wounded during the 2nd Battle of Fort Fisher on January 16th, 1865, Pugh’s father Frank would be taken with shrapnel wounds in his left thigh by Hospital Steamer to Hammond General Hospital at Fort Lincoln onto the Camp Lookout POW Camp. Frank was the interim Justice of the Peace, local Postmaster and US Census Enumerator in 1880 while residing on Beautancus Road.

All the family from Jesse with his 1st wife Zilpha Brown Quinn, who died young. I result from Jesse’s 2nd wife Susan Ann Jernigan Quinn also buried with her mother and father on Beautancus Rd in the graveyard that used to exist on the property of Jerry Grady. The land of their son Jesse Brown Quinn and gravesites on Quinn land are in the hands of the descendants of Aubrey Daniel Quinn and Peggy Roberts. When Ancestry DNA did yDNA testing, I was the only perfect match for A.D. now with our heavenly father. Dr. Phillis Quinn Ostheim, PhD, A.D.’s daughter presently maintains the family lands in Wolfscrape as well as the Best-Quinn cemetery on Beautancus Road where three generations of my Quinn family are interred.

Many members of my family have almost every summer since after the US Civil War have frequently visited relatives in an around Richmond, including Frank Quinn of the NC 1st Cavalry that spent time in Richmond hospitals after the Battle of Antietam and deserted the hospital making his way back to Duplin County, North Carolina with their assistance.

Lena Cornelia Quinn Ezzell is one that knew well her family in Richmond and spent large amounts of time there.

Descendants of Jesse Brown Quinn

A.D. was the son of George Simon Quinn, Sr. and Margaret Swinson. George Simon was the son of Bright Harper Quinn Sr. and Florence V. Roberts. Bright was the son of Jesse Brown Quinn and Elizabeth Bright Best

Gaelic Ireland Connections to Fitz Gerald, Eustace and Talbot

Sir Thomas Eustace was born about 1480 and ascended to his uncle's estates in Wicklow and Limerick when only sixteen. He was the son of Richard Eustace and Anne Eustace. He married Margaret Talbot, daughter of Sir Peter Talbot and Catharine FitzGerald. He died on 31 July 1549.

In a most bizarre and interesting twist, my wife, a Fitzgerald aliased as Jarrell is from a well-known, yet a little defined lineage prior to Virginia, that becomes West Virginia in 1861.

Research reveals her ancestor John Fitzgerald purchases what later becomes Jarrell Mountain in Boone County, WV along Jarrell Branch from my ancestor Richard Quinn of Culpeper, Virginia Colony. Our genetic trail rises and intersects both in Wicklow and Limerick in the territory of the Fitzgerald’s prior to 1641. This aid also influenced the research path and connections to the Earldom of Kildare which is best explained by Lady Dunraven Caroline.

Darby Quinn

The Rapidan River, flowing 88 miles through north-central Virginia, the largest tributary of the Rappahannock River converges just west of the city of Fredericksburg. Darby and his wife Mary Ashworth arrived

As previously stated, Darby Quin II, married Mary Novitt who was born circa 1698 in Culpeper Virginia. The two married in 1718. Mary passed on 21 Dec 1754 at their home in Culpeper County. The couple had two children, Elizabeth born in 1719 in Culpeper who married George G. Bruce of Augusta County, Colony of Virginia in 1738. Genetic matches in this line via Autosomal DNA report this line to me. Elizabeth passed in Bland, Virginia, circa 1787. Richard Quinn born circa 1720, married Elizabeth Mann also of Culpeper in the same year; 1738. Elizabeth and George had 7 children of which R-FGC11134 SNP matches exists and illuminated the path.

I have zero matches to Novitt and thus am not of this line whereas I match Manning at 325cm across 12 segments making this a very recent connection.

To further illuminate the 1702 immigrant Darby Quinn, it now is now possible thanks to genealogical genetic yDNA tests where I have matches in La Rochelle at the R-FGC11134 SNP via the surname Michaux. In 1702 Darby Quin of Irish Nantes is listed as a French Huguenot Refugee that arrives to the French Settlements of the Virginia Colony along the Rappahannock River from London. In 1712, his wife Mary Ashworth Quin arrives with a 14-year-old, Darby Quin, the namesake of his father Darby. The two French Refugees are reunited at the Rappahannock river settlements. As if by chance another Quinn arrives from the Essex jail where one Richard Quin, Gentleman had been imprisoned in a fraudulent charge of deception. Richard was the placed aboard ships operated by Jonathan Forward to the crown for transportation of all those in England’s jails. By the time the ship FORWARD reaches Annapolis, Maryland, Richard disembarks with his passage paid by family there to meet him and deliver him to the French Huguenot settlements of Manakin-Sabot. Manakin Sabot consists of the villages of Manakin and Sabot. Today the area is an unincorporated community in Goochland County, Virginia, United States. The area is located northwest of Richmond in the Piedmont and is part of the Greater Richmond neighborhood.

Darby Quin’s father is John Quinn born circa 1665 in Liverpool, England. Darby is married to Mary Ashworth whom I match this line’s atDNA. I also match using atDNA to their son John Quin through his wife Suzanne Elizabeth Michaux of Amsterdam, herself a daughter of Dr. Abraham Michaux and Susanne Rochet Michaux, both of Amsterdam and French Huguenot Refugees along the Rappahannock River.

In the Michaux family records we find their daughter Susanne marrying John Quin moving south to what they called the Albemarle settlements that existed at Bath, Edenton and the Palatine Settlements of New Bern. The two are found among multiple county record books as acquiring large tracts of land to be settled by others in North Carolina mainly along the Virginia border and coastal regions of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.

On September 28, 1728 Richard Quinn receives a patent for 800 acres of land on the north side of the Rapidan River from King George II in King and Queen County, Colony of Virginia.

Next, taken from the Virginia Patent Books for Culpeper County, Patent Book 13, page 292 we can extract the following from the Chancery Court files for Madison County, Colony of Virginia.

The worshipful court of Madison in Chancery sitting, humbly complaining and show unto your worships your Orators Benjamin Quinn and James Quinn with your oratrixes and orators Sally Quinn, Nancy Quinn, Joshua Quinn, Hiram Quinn and Durandy Quinn, all infants or very young and heirs of John Quinn deceased, by James Quinn their next friend, that a certain Richard Quinn (the father of your orators Benjamin and James, the paternal grandfather of your infant orators and oratrixes, and the father of Richard Quinn Jr. deceased did in his lifetime divide all his estate, both real and personal, among his children and at the time of that Division the said Richard Sr. did completely divest himself of all right, title, or claim to the estate so divided.

THE QUINN SEPTS OF IRELAND

I have made an honest attempt to contain them all, but that is quite difficult to even imagine how I want to piece all of it together. I had at one time and it is now lost all the Clan information from Scotland that extends the septs to the lowlands of Scotland where at least five septs existed of Cuinn.

CLARE

Dermond MacBrody was in service to the Chief of the O’Quin of the Cinel-Fermaic within the barony of Inchiquin, County Clare. In 1427 Dermond son of Maolin dies as the Chief Professor of Poetry and History to the O’Quin chief of the Cinel-Fermaic. Upon Dermind’s death, his son Dermond succeeded him. In 1531, Connor, the son of Dermond, John,another son of Maolin;. Connor died as the Chief Historian for the O’Quin chief.

The MacBruideaghea family anglicized as MacBroudin and MacBrody derive their descent and surname from Bruadeagha, a son of Aeongus Cinthrach of clan Arach and the 5th son of Cas who is 91st on the O’Brien, Kings of Thomond pedigree.

LIMERICK

The O’h-Algaith or O’h-Algaich of Ballyhaly, County Cork is anglisized O’Haly or Haly are descended frin Cisgrach, son of Lorean, who is 103 on the O’Brien Kings of Thomond pedigree and are to be distinguished from the O’Ailches, who are of the same descent are a distinct family identified as Healy.

The O’Haly’s are of old standing in the county of Galway as appears from the Four Masters listed under 1232AD. The representative of the senior branch of the sept in 1730 was Simon Haly, Esq. of Ballyhaly. Simon married Eleanora O’Quinn, the daughter of Teige O’Quinn, Esq. of Adare and the ancestor of the Earl of Dunraven introducing an alias of Teige versus Thaddeus which he is later identified as both Teige and Thaddeus.

Aeneas of Aongus Ceanatthrach was a younger brother of Blad who is 92 on the O’Brien Kings of Thomond pedigree and is the ancestor of O’Cuinn or Muintir Cuinn of Munster where the surname appears as O’Quin, Quin and Quain.

Preface to next section notes:

The Irish surname Donough originally appeared in Gaelic as Mac Donough, which means son of Donnchadh or son of Donagh, a personal name composed of the elements donn meaning ‘brown-haired’ or "dark" from Donn a Gaelic God; and chadh, meaning "chief" or "noble". The Irish surnames Donough, McDonagh, McDonough, O'Donoghue and Dunphy among others are derived from the given name (In Gaelic: Mac - son of, Ó - of the family of). Another derivation is the name of the Scottish Clan Donnachaidh.

Donnchadh is a masculine given name common to the Irish and Scottish Gaelic languages. It is composed of the elements donn, meaning "brown" or "dark" from Donn a Gaelic God; and chadh, meaning "chief" or "noble". The name is also written as Donnchad, Donncha, Donnchadha and Dúnchad.

Edwin Richard Wyndham-Quin was the 3rd Earl and married Augusta Charlotte Goold on 18 August 1836, Augusta Charlotte Goold died in 1866 and is the 3rd daughter of Thomas Goold, Esquire, of Rossbrien, Dromadda and Athea, a Master in the Irish Court of Chancery. They had at least eight children, two sons being stillborn. His first wife died in 1866.

I have no matches to Goold whereas my matches to Gould match at the highest concentration 19cM, from 18 matches not of the Loftin Bell Quinn and Mary Polly Gould line. For Gold, Golda, Goldberg, Golden, Golder, Goldman, Goldsboro, Goldsby, Goldstein, Goldsmith, Goldtrap, Goldsberry, Ingold with the highest of 34cM for 17 women and 23 men.

It should be noted here that we find Thomas Goold in the National University of Ireland’s Landed Estates database associated with Thady Quin and the earldom of Dunraven Mount-Earl.

The Goold estate was mainly in the parishes of Rathronan (10 townlands) and Ardagh, barony of Shanid, county Limerick but this family also held land in the parishes of St Michaels, barony of Pubblebrien, Mahoonagh and Monagay, barony of Glenquin and Kilmurry, barony of Clanwilliam. Maurice Roach was agent to Thomas Goold, Master in Chancery, Dublin, in the early 1840s. The Dunraven genealogy traces the lineage of Thomas Goold, who was a great grandson of John Quin of Rosbrien, near Limerick city, born in 1692. Thomas Goold bought the Athea estate from Lord Courtenay in 1817. His son Wyndham Goold, Member of Parliament for county Limerick (died 1854), was the proprietor by the early 1850s. In the 1870s Wyndham's brother Archdeacon Goold of Athea, county Limerick, owned 10,966 acres in the county. In 1873 the Archdeacon's daughter and co heiress, Frances Goold, married Reverend Hamilton Stuart Verschoyle of county Donegal and their son, Hamilton Frederick Stuart Goold Verschoyle, assumed the additional name of Goold. The Archdeacon's sister, Augusta Charlotte, married her cousin, the 3rd Earl of Dunraven. In 1906 the representatives of the Venerable F.F. Goold held about 400 acres of untenanted land at Athea Upper.

Castlegrey (H2277) A house in the possession of the Langford family in the 19th century, the residence of G. Langford in 1837 and of Charles Wiedenham Fosbery in the early 1840s and 1850s. He held the property from Mrs Jane Langford. It was valued at £11. Slater refers to it as the seat of Captain Frederick Verschoyle in 1894. Some buildings are still extant at the site.

Historic Notes for O’Moroney and Earl’s of Dunraven by O’Hart

This family is one of the anglicized forms of the Irish O’Maolruanaidh which is derived from Maolruanaidh or Mulroona Mór, a younger brother of Conchobhar or Connor who is 106 on the O’Connor King’s of Cannaught pedigree. Other forms of the ancient family name were O’Mulrooney, O’Mulroney, O’Moroney, Maroney, Moroni, Mulrooney, Rooney, Roney, Rowney, etc…

According to O’Dugan’s Topography, O’Maolruanaidh was one of the three chiefs of Crumthan or Cruffan, a district comprising the barony of Killian and part of Ballymoe in County Galway. The O’Moroney portion of the family more lately settled in County Clare where many of them still remain. It is of note in identifying my ancestor Laughlin Quin and discover his family line. It is also noted in Dugan’s Topography that “whence some members of the family emigrated to America some 120 years ago and others more lately. Descendants of those emigrants are now located in the states of Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia among them being Timothy Morney of New Orleans living in 1887.”

O’Hart was unable to trace the genealogy the family farther back that:

(Pierce Morony of Clown Meach) whose will from December 8, 1678 reports his wife Margaret Butler, the daughter of Theobold Butler by whom he had four daughters, the youngest of whom is Catherine Morony, the wife of Thady Quin, the ancestor to the Earl of Dunraven with two sons the younger were Pierce Morony who married and had issue two sons and four daughters.

EARL OF MEATH GENETIC CONNECTION

It should be noted that Richard McLoughlin Quin lost his estate in the Barony of Arklow, Ballyhoolene of 84 acres, a manor house and stables. Secondly losing the plantation of 358 profitable acres at Ballanagh. Loughlin McRichard Quin was his son and had not come into his inheritance and thusly was not dispossessed for there was nothing to take. Of these three men, Laughlin Quin, Richard McLoughlin Quin and Loughlin McRichard Quin’s lands were forfeited and became the land of the Earl of Meath.Earl of Meath is a title in the Peerage of Ireland created in 1627 and held by the head of the Brabazon family. This family descends from Sir Edward Brabazon, who represented County Wicklow in the Irish House of Commons and served as High Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1606. In 1616 he was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Ardee. He was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Baron. In 1627 he was created Earl of Meath in the Peerage of Ireland, with remainder to his younger brother the Hon. Sir Anthony Brabazon. Lord Meath was succeeded by his son, the second Earl. His grandson, the fourth Earl, served as Lord-Lieutenant of Dublin and of Kildare. He died childless and was succeeded by his younger brother, the fifth Earl. He was also Lord-Lieutenant of Dublin. Lord Meath married the Hon. Juliana, daughter of Patrick Chaworth, 3rd and last Viscount Chaworth.

ARDEE23cM to 9cM through 11 matches

On his death the titles passed to his eldest son, the sixth Earl. He served as Lord-Lieutenant of Dublin and County Kildare. He died childless and was succeeded by his younger brother, the seventh Earl. His grandson, the ninth Earl, was killed in a duel in 1797. He was succeeded by his younger brother, the tenth Earl. He served as Lord-Lieutenant of Dublin from 1831 to 1851. In 1831 the Chaworth title held by his ancestors was revived when he was created Baron Chaworth, of Eaton Hall in the County of Hereford, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. This title gave him and his descendants an automatic seat in the House of Lords. His son, the eleventh Earl, sat as MP for County Dublin from 1830 to 1832, and from 1837 to 1841, and was also Lord-Lieutenant of County Wicklow from 1869 to 1887. He was succeeded by his son, the 12th Earl. He was a politician and philanthropist. His son, the thirteenth Earl, was a Brigadier-General in the Grenadier Guards and the Irish Guards. As of 2014 the titles are held by the latter's grandson, the fifteenth Earl, who succeeded his father in 1998.

The Hon. William Brabazon, of Tara House in County Meath, younger son of the seventh Earl, was the father of Barbara, who married John Moore. Their grandson John Arthur Henry Moore assumed the additional surname of Brabazon and was the father of the aviation pioneer and Conservative politician John Moore-Brabazon, 1st Baron Brabazon of Tara. See the Baron Brabazon of Tara for more information on this branch of the family.

The family seat is Kilruddery House, near Bray, County Wicklow.

In both cases for this land, it was provisioned to the Earl of Meath at attainder of Laughlin Quin, Richard and Loughlin Quin whereas my atDNA matches a single Brabazon woman at 9cM via the bond between Lady Aileeb Wyndham Quin, the daughter of the 4th Earl of Dunraven.

O’TOOLE GENETIC CONNECTIONS

On the King James’ Irish Army List, D’Alton references Richard Quinn a Protestant residing on an estate in Longford where the titulado is Derby Toole. For Toole, I have 6 matches at no higher than 19cM. For O’Toole I have a female match at 9cM.

SHERLOCK GENETIC CONNECTIONS

Efforts to link my ancestor Laughlin Quin to his correct genealogy, I arrive to the Parish, Church, Congregation Baptismal records of St. Catherine’s Church of Dublin. In Book number 2, page 38 with record identifier as DU-RC-BA-30657 dated 14 March 1752.

In the baptismal record for Seragh Sherlock, we find her father is James Sherlock and Bridget, the genetic daughter of Jerimiah Quin and Elizabeth Quin nee Shirlock. For Scurlock, I match 1 male at 10cM.I match male named Sherlock at 12cM with no matches in the atDNA regions for Shirlock.

I predict that I am related to Bridget who in my estimation is a Quin of a previous generation which is not known at present.

AUTOSOMAL REGION MATCH LOCATIONS

Using atDNA matches by location and the following map, cross correlation between the yDNA results are visible using the Autosomal regions of our shared DNA.

The 2nd graphic prepared by Ancestry DNA has an algorithm that correctly identifies the location from which the test was ordered but tries to provide a category that is not entirely accurate without the yDNA information to substantiate or deny a connection on the Y-chromosome.

From this point forward I believe that my atDNA proves a relationship to Donogh O’Quin and Judith O’Riordan of Killmallock, Limerick, Ireland as the centimorgan values reveal compelling evidence of the female lines associated very recently to Colonel Windham Henry Wyndham-Quin (1857-1952), an Irish Peer, British Army officer and a Conservative Member of Parliament for South Glamorganshire 1895–1906 where in 2019 I had 3 matches in and around Penzance, Penwith, Cornwall, England. His line of ancestors are clearly defined and revealed within my own atDNA generation by generation until reliable resolution dissolves. The difficult task is to correctly associate the matches and the line they are derived. I have 3 SNP matches at the R-FGC11134 level in the south of Ireland and 7 from the Scottish Borders to Penzance to Windsor and greater London.

For example, some lines may be from the genetics of a line that derives from Lamm, Rivenbark, Davis, Gould etc. These are my known entities. Then there are those such as Riordan, Ashworth, Michaux which were not. They show up on both the yDNA R-FGC11134 SNP as matches and then with Ancestry DNA on the atDNA matrix all at the same geographic location +/- 5 miles. This means that because I had worked the genealogies of Laughlin and Mary and all their children, I knew the names through those that had tested with Family Tree DNA and with Ancestry DNA. I had a 200-year-old map of the descendants of Laughlin and Mary Quin and was in contact with all the lines. The male lines diverge to deeper unique SNPs and the atDNA is what it is meaning the female line is traceable and linkable for about 5 generations, but not much more if you do not know the names or have access to multiple genealogies all born of Quin, Quinn, O’Quin and O’Quinn such as I do.

The last remaining items are the definitions and families of Knogher Quin, Hugh Quin of South Carolina and the many Quinn’s of western North Carolina, the Quinn’s of Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana, Quebec and Nova Scotia again both from SNP yDNA matches and then atDNA dense match in the same corresponding areas showing shared centimorgans from my sister at 2,653cM showing roughly 50.5% shared DNA to very distant relations down to 7cM shared DNA.

132.5th Earl of Dunraven Mount Earl is Windham Henry Wyndham Quin (1857-1952) and married Caroline Tyler a daughter of Rear-Admiral Sir George Tyler. The 5th Earl succeeded to the Earldom on the death of his cousin Windham Wyndham-Quin the 4th Earl of Dunraven and Mount-Earl, who died in 1926 without male issue.

TAYLOUR SUPPLANTS & BREAKS yDNA LINEAGE TO CONN

Breaks the previously intact yDNA lineage to Conn of the Hundred battles in the now extinct yDNA line for the Earls of Dunraven, Mount Earl 6 and 7 apply. In 1813 George Taylour by Royal License changes name to Lord George Quin.

The 6th Earl of Dunraven, Mount-earl Richard Southwell Windham Robert Wyndham Quin came to the peerage though his aunt’s line as he died without a male heir. Mary Quin a granddaughter of the 4th Earl of Dunraven married George Taylour. George Taylour would marry Mary Quin and in 1813 was restyled as Lord George Quin with is son becoming the 6th Earl of Dunraven, Mount Earl and supplanting the yDNA of the previous earls with the yDNA of the Taylour lines.

133.6th Earl of Dunraven Mount Earl is Richard Southwell Windham Robert Wyndham Quin (1887-1965) through the 5th Earl of Dunraven Mount Earl’s aunt’s lineage and marriage to George Taylour, later bore a son of George Taylour and Mary Quin of the Thady Quin line. George Taylour would in 1813 be styled as Lord George Quin and upon the 5th Earl’s death without an heir, his cousin of the Taylour lineage now identified as Quin. George was a son of Thomas Taylour (1724-1795), 1st Earl of Bective, KP, PC was an Irish peer and politician.

134.7th Earl of Dunraven Mount Earl is Thady Windham Thomas Wyndham Quin born October 20, 1939, and died on March 25, 2011, who married Geraldine McAleer, daughter of Air Commodore Gerard W. McAleer, CBE, MB, BCh. They had one child, daughter Lady Ana Wyndham-Quin (born 1972) who married Duncan Johnson in 2009.

PEERAGE MISREPRESENTATIONS

The Genetic fact is that the 7th Earl of Dunraven of the genetic haplogroup I2a as is the 6th. For this overtaken lineage to be of Conn is not possible through the required line of haplogroup R1b, more specifically of SNP M-222 associated with Niall and thusly Conn.

The 7th Earl of Dunraven Mount Earl tested his yDNA with 37 marker test kit 18734 with Family Tree DNA in 2004. The genetic results report he is of haplogroup I2a now I-M438 which does not match Cuinn, more over does not in any form correlate to his reported ancestor Niall of the Nine Hostages known through Thady Quin’s lineage and well defined and accepted descent from as Neill O’Cuinn aka Niall Noígíallach well by the families of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England.

Haplogroup I-M438, known initially as I2a until 2007 then identified as I1b, is a human Y-chromosome haplogroup, a subclade of Haplogroup I-M170. Haplogroup I-M438 originated sometime around 26,000–31,000 BCE. The haplogroup can be found all over Europe and reaches its maximum frequency in the Dinaric Alps within the Balkans which is believed to be via the founder effect.

LONGFORD – County Leinster

The territory corresponding to County Longford is identified as a frontier colony of the Kingdom of Meath. Between the fifth and twelfth centuries, the territory was called the kingdom of Tethbae ruled by various tuath such as the Cairpre Gabra in the north. Tethbae (Latin: Teffia) originally referred to an area north of the River Inny approximating to present-day County Longford in 1070 CE the Tethbae were conquered by the Ó Cuinns, Ó Fearghails, and other Conmhaícne tribes and historically known as Muintir Annaly and was named after "Anghaile" the great-grandfather of Fearghail O'Farrell.

Furthermore, County Longford was often called Upper Conmhaícne, to distinguish it from south Leitrim, then called Lower Conmhaícne, because both districts were ruled by the descendants of Cormac, son of Fergus and Queen Meadbh of Connacht.

Following the Norman invasion of the 12th century, Annaly was granted to Hugh de Lacy as part of the Liberty of Meath. An English settlement was established at Granard, with Norman Cistercian monasteries being established at Abbeylara and Abbeyshrule, and Augustinian monasteries being established at Abbeyderg and at Saints' Island on the shore of Lough Ree. Monastic remains at Ardagh, Abbeylara, Abbeyderg, Abbeyshrule, Inchcleraun Island in Lough Ree, and Inchmore Island in Lough Gowna are reminders of the county's long Christian history. However, by the 14th century, English influence in Ireland was on the wane. The town of Granard was sacked by Edward Bruce's army in 1315, and the O’Farrell’s soon recovered complete control over the territory. Annaly later became Longport, now Longford, after O'Farrell's fortress of this name.

The county was officially shired in 1586 in the reign of Elizabeth I from the northern portion of Westmeath,[8] but English control was not fully established until the aftermath of the Nine Years' War. County Longford was added to Leinster by James I in 1608 (it had previously been considered part of Connacht), with the county being divided into six baronies and its boundaries being officially defined. The county was planted by English and Scottish landowners in 1620, with much of the O'Farrell lands being confiscated and granted to new owners. The change in control was completed during the Cromwellian plantations of the 1650s. On these lands in County Longford, are the historic ruins of the Coolamber Hall House, which was besieged by one of the Cromwell’s. The Princes of Annaly associated with the O’Farrell’s that overtook the O’Cuinn in the territory.

The Ó Cuinn’s built Rathcline Castle whereas Rathcline is located in the southwest of County Longford and to the east of Lough Ree being north of the River Inny. Rathcline barony was formed from the territories of The Callow, known in Ireland as Caladh na hAnghaile (Annaly of the Anghaile) and were on the left bank of Shannon from Lanesboro to Ballymahon. This area was the territory of Clanconnor. Clanconnor which was part Kilcommoc, part Cashel. Rathcline Castle is near to Lanesborough in the current setting. The castle is believed to have been built around the 9th Century by the Ó Cuinn clan. Later it was fought for and taken by the Uí Fhearghail or the O'Farrell clan and subsequently taken over by the Normans at the beginning of the 12th Century. Ó Fachtna or anglicized O'Faughny is noted as chief of The Callow (Callo) well into the 16th century.

MacGilligan are of Giollagan, a brother of Eimhim who is 101st on the line of Ir and was the ancestor of mac Cuinn and Ó Cuinns lords of Muintir Gillagain also of County Longford. The name anglicizations vary such that they are O’Quin, mac Quinn, MacQueen, Quin and Quinn.

Muinter of Megiollgain, Magillan or Magellan were in the territory of Muinter Eoluis, in the northern portion of County Longford whereas their chief was Ó Cuinn.

The O’Farrell clan maintained their sovereignty until the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) when Annaly was formed into County Longford by the Lord Deputy or Ireland, Sir Henry Sidney.

After their defeat at the Battle of Kinsale in 1601, and the end of the Nine Years' War in Ulster in 1603, Tyrone and the Prince of Tyrconnell, Lord Tyrconnell's elder brother and predecessor, had been forced into exile in January 1602 by the English government of Ireland under the leadership of the Lord Mountjoy. They retained their lands and titles, though with much diminished extent and authority. However, the countryside was laid bare in a campaign of destruction in 1602 that induced the famine of 1603. O'Neill was pardoned under the terms of the Treaty of Mellifont in March of 1603 and submitted to the crown.

On 10 September 1602, the Prince of Tyrconnell had already died, allegedly assassinated, in Spain, and his brother succeeded him as 25th Chieftain of the O'Donnell clan. He was later granted the Earldom of Tyrconnell by King James I on 4 September 1603 and restored to a somewhat diminished scale of territories in Tyrconnell on 10 February 1604.

When King James VI and I took the English throne in 1603, he quickly proceeded to issue pardons for the Irish lords and their rebel forces. Already reigning as king of Scotland, he had a better understanding of the advantages from working with local chiefs in the Scottish Highlands. However, as in other Irish lordships, the 1603 peace involved O'Neill losing substantial areas of land to his cousins and neighbors, who would be granted freeholds under the English system, instead of the looser arrangements under the former Brehon law system. This was not a new policy but was a well-understood and longstanding practice in the Tudor conquest of Ireland.

In 1605, the new Lord Deputy of Ireland, Sir Arthur Chichester, began to encroach on the former freedoms of the two Earls and The Maguire, enforcing the new freeholds, especially that granted in North Ulster to the Ó Catháin chief. The Ó Catháin had formerly been important subjects of the O’Neill’s and required protection. Chichester wanted to reduce O'Neill's authority as a matter of forced compliance. An option was to charge O'Neill with treason if he did not comply with the new arrangements and upon the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot that same year made it nearly impossible for Catholics to appear loyal to both the crown and the papacy. The Dublin administration elected to move ahead with Ó Catháin, O'Neill was invited by King James to make his case to the Privy Council in London in 1607, but never came forward to comply or defend his sovereign rights.

By 1607, the O'Neill allies the Maguires and the Earl of Tyrconnell were finding it hard to maintain their estates, influence and dominion on lower incomes. The cohort planned to solicit Spanish support before news of the Battle of Gibraltar was publicly known. When their ship dropped anchor, O'Neill seems to have joined them on impulse leaving three options:

Flee with his friends and hope for a reinvasion by Spain

Go to London and stay at court until his grievances were redressed

Do nothing and live on a reduced income as a large landowner in Ulster

Fearing arrest, they chose to flee to Continental Europe, where they hoped to recruit an army to recapture Ireland, potentially with Spanish aid. However, earlier in 1607 the main Spanish fleet in Europe was destroyed by the Dutch at the Battle of Gibraltar.

The oft-repeated theory that they were all about to be arrested contradicts Tadhg Ó Cianáin, the main historical source for what became known as the Flight of the Earls. It had been said at the start of his account that O'Neill heard news of the ship anchored at Rathmullen on Thursday 6 September and "took his leave of Lord Justice Chichester the following Saturday". Meeting in Slane for several days, without proof that warrants for his arrest had been drawn up, the departure was initiated without haste,

The Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604) had drawn to an end by the Treaty of London in 1604 as King Philip III of Spain wanted to remain at peace with England under its newly devised Stuart monarchy. Contingent as a part of the negotiations, a Spanish princess was to marry James' son Henry. Spain, with fiscal troubles of its own, was gone bankrupted in 1598. The Tyrone cohort remained in Italy and persisted with invasion plans while in exile until the Earl’s death in 1616.

The earls of the Old Gaelic Order departed from the town of Rathmullan with many leading Gaelic families of Ulster as they travelled down Lough Swilly onboard a French ship. Their departure was the end of the Old Gaelic Order and the historical keeping of the whole of Ireland. These families were of the earls that descended from Gaelic clan dynasties since Conn or the 2nd Century CE.

The Flight of the Earls transformed Ireland as the ancient Gaelic aristocracies of Ireland had begun their exodus from Ireland and England alike. In complicated and overarching fashion upon their surrender and regrant of title and estate in the 1540’s by the English Crown, I believe this was the mechanism that put every earldom of the Old Gaelic Order in peril. The possibility does exist that they were forced to flee by the authoritative Tudor conquest of Ireland insisting it was an enormous mistake that facilitated the Plantation of Ulster. In either case, the effects and impacts abruptly morph the future and destroy the path to an English desire to be of the ancients in the whole of Ireland.

Beginning in 1616 bards had engaged in a poetic debate titled "Contention of the bards" with one of the main themes being postulated and celebrated was that King James held Gaelic-Irish Milesian ancestry through Malcolm III of Scotland. The principal contention is to whether the Gaelic order had ended or was evolving.

MY GENETIC MEMORY

There is no way possible in this lifetime that I have been able to explain my innate and natural propensity toward a great many topics that I have never in this lifetime been exposed to. I refer to this as genetic memory which with the following sections explains my understanding of my own thoughts from the time where I begin to understand they are my own just a few months ago. One could use the French explanation, which is not really an explanation as Déjà vu or something already seen. It is in fact embedded in our source code what appears to be indefinitely.

In all the time researching the Quinn Septs for Family Tree DNA as the Cuinn and Quinn Surname yDNA Project Administrator for Family Tree DNA as well as the severed lines of Thady Quinn, I never gave any weight to what I had classified as coincidental similarities. I know that my genetic haplogroup is R1b and the earls of Dunraven, Mount-Earl are of I2a making it impossible lest it be from the Garden of Eden that we are related. Ergo, I pursued both my own and the earl’s genetic information separately never connecting the two.

It would not be until I reached my wits end with the historic record and yDNA record that I began to wrap up and write a manuscript showing that Laughlin Quin of the Province of North Carolina never would reveal his origins and that I matched only those people in North America and nowhere else utilizing my yDNA. However, as a good anthropologist does, they do not surrender the information into oblivion. Instead, they keep it until they can no longer imagine possible outcomes and become weary from the endeavor with each attempt to write something that will make sense to their children.

In my wrap up came the destruction of the files I had accumulated and the vetting of fiction from non-fiction. I researched every line of Laughlin Quin and Mary Canady to 1900 because one of the lines is my own line.

My Autosomal Data

For the Autosomal results at Ancestry DNA, I have 5,442 matches at 20 to 3,490 shared centigrams which reports in as 1st cousins to 4th cousins. I have 64,567 distant matches that share 6 to 20 centigrams and Ancestry identifies them as Distant Matches. Of these matches, with little exception, encircle the matches found via the yDNA SNP matches at Family Tree DNA. This confirms the information presented here and further substantiates the connections regardless of an actual paper trail connecting one person to another within the fragmented historic records of the Carolina Provinces and Virginia Colony.

Of these matches the map below identifies 1st through 3rd cousins using the Autosomal regions of our shared DNA. This is often identified as admixture.

The 2nd graphic prepared by Ancestry DNA has an algorithm that correctly identifies the location from which the test was ordered but makes an attempt to provide a category that is not accurate with information being synthesized from data within my own tree. Ergo, it is a completely synthesized overview. In my case, I am already aware of the information found in my yDNA Big Y test and as such report the following.

The correct information for these matches from Kentucky and Tennessee are easily resolved thanks to modern genetics and a corresponding paper trail. These men are from Culpeper and also the genetic lines of Darby Quin, Darby Quinn, Richard Quinn and John Quinn. These Quinn descendants were among those that settled Boonesborough with Daniel Boone and are listed among the founders of this unincorporated community in Madison, Kentucky. The town was founded by famed frontiersman Daniel Boone in 1778 as one of the first English-speaking settlements west of the Appalachian Mountains. A list of verified pioneers at Fort Boonesborough was compiled by H. Thomas Tudor, Registrar of the Society of Boonesborough and furnished compliments of the Society of Boonesborough by James J. Shannon Jr.

Benjamin Quinn is listed in two sources in 1780 with James Quinn and Thomas Quinn mentioned in the “French Tipton Papers" Townsend Room, Eastern Kentucky University Library lists all three men. Notebook prepared by Anna Turley Noland, a direct descendant of Captain David Gass on Black family and related families page 37-38. It is further confirmed that one of Benjamin Quinn’s children, Martha Quinn married John Boone in 1768 and a son Ethelred Boone was born.

These are my ethnicity percentages as calculated by Ancestry DNA which are only slightly correct.

The next are my sister’s ethnicity percentages

On my mother’s mtDNA I was tested and report to haplogroup J1c5 with the following numbers for you to examine. This is what all indicators point to as a distinct line that largely reports to the Plantagenets.

It has been alleged for centuries now that the lineage of the Earl’s of Dunraven and Mount-Earl are descended from a Milesian Prince. Then, the Dunraven lines of Teague/Thady Quin were later certified by way of multiple English monarchs hoping to solidify the English Royal lines back to the Milesian peoples before Conn Cétchathach, a son of Fedlimid Rechtmar. Conn's reign with that of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (161–180 CE). The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 116–136 CE, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 122–157 CE. All of which is irrelevant.

By 1688 Richard Carney, the Ulster King of Arms certified Thady and Teague Quin of Adare were certified as descendants of the famed ancient Milesian princes. The issue is that both the 6th and 7th Earl of Dunraven, Mount-Earl both bore a genetic haplogroup not associated with Thady or Tiege/Teague as the variation of the name’s spelling suggests.

If we accept the findings of the TCD genetic study of 2003 and that the R-M222 SNP markers are associated with Niall Noígíallach. then surely Conn is most assuredly also R-M222 and thusly R1b. It should be noted here that the name is Neill Ó Cuinn. Neill’s 3rd Great Grandfather is Art mac Cuinn and the 1st use of a surname is born.

However, although of the same lineage as the male descendants of Thady are reported and accepted as the yDNA representations of this earldom, the facts are not clearly defined as they should be.

The 1st through 5th Earls of Dunraven, Mount-Earl descend from the yDNA of Donogh O’Quin and Judith O’Riordan as history dictates. The 6th and 7th earls descend from the female line, or mtDNA. The 6th and 7th earls yDNA is that of Thomas Taylour, 1st Marquess of Headfort KP (18 November 1757 – 24 October 1829), styled Viscount Headford from 1766 to 1795, and known as The Earl of Bective from 1795 to 1800, was an Irish peer and politician. Their son George Taylor would in 1813 be styled as Lord George Quin hence the yDNA shift.

The 6th and 7th Earl of Dunraven, Mount-Earl’s DNA were both I-M438 as evidenced by a genetic sample provided to Family Tree DNA in 2004 by the 7th Earl as he searched for a genetic heir to his place in the peerage. The results corroborate this as the earl is of haplogroup i2 until 2007 when the haplogroup was reorganized as i1B ,a subclade of haplogroup I-M170. Haplogroup I-M438 originated sometime around 26,000–31,000 BCE and originated in continental Europe where it evolved into several principal subclades: I2-M438*, I2a-L460, I2b-L415 and I2c-L596.

Thusly as it is stated Niall, or Neill O’Quin bear the unique r1b identifier R-M222 SNP which must be presumed inherited from Conn. All those O’Quin to the south were the genetic offspring of Ailill Aulom and Conn’s daughter Sadhbh and began to split off representing Conn’s lineage, or deep connection to Conn, the grandfather of their offspring.

The Eoganacht dynasty in Munster claimed, as descendants of Oiloill Olum, the historical right as overkings of Leath Moga which were overlords of Leinster as well as Munster in the early medieval age, a claim disputed by the Uí Néill.

The Southern Uí Néill were that branch of the Uí Néill dynasty that invaded and settled in the Kingdom of Mide and its associated kingdoms.

In the initial decades, two sons of Niall Noigiallach, Lóegaire and Coirpre and their immediate descendants led the dynasty. However, after the murder of Túathal Máelgarb in about 549, it was left to another branch of the family descended from another of Niall's sons Conall Cremthainne to continue Uí Néill expansion and consolidate their position. No descendants of either Lugaid mac Lóegairi or Túathal Máelgarb are recorded, and it is not unlikely that they were either erased from the genealogical record, or indeed literally erased from history.

Just as their kinsmen, the Northern Uí Néill split into two main branches, so too did the Southern Uí Néill, both being descended from sons of Diarmait mac Cerbaill, Colmán Már and Áed Sláine. The former was the progenitor of the Clann Cholmáin Kings of Mide, while the latter was the eponymous ancestor of the Síl nÁedo Sláine Kings of Brega.

In the twelfth century, the north-south division of Ireland was used as a basis for the new division of dioceses in Ireland at the Synod of Ráth Breasail.

The 1st through the 5th Earl’s of Dunraven’s are from Kilmallock, Limerick, Ireland and extended their long honored level minded Quin’s to Adare in Limerick. Through their extended family they accepted many important roles in the Old Gaeilic order’s monarchies including those devised with the arrival of Strongbow to Ireland.

When King James VI took the English throne in 1603, he quickly proceeded to issue pardons for the Irish lords and their rebel forces. Already reigning as king of Scotland, he had a better understanding of the advantages from working with local chiefs in the Scottish Highlands. However, as in other Irish lordships, the 1603 peace involved O'Neill losing substantial areas of land to his cousins and neighbors, who would be granted freeholds under the English system, instead of the looser arrangements under the former Brehon law system. This was not a new policy but was a well-understood and longstanding practice in the Tudor conquest of Ireland.

The Quins throughout Ireland possessed large, and governed as hereditary chieftains, before the invasion of the English in the reign of HENRY II. The Earls of Dunraven descended from the Clare stem until supplanted by the O'Brien. The Clare line migrated to the surrounds of Limerick at Kilmallock, County Limerick with other family members relocating with their kinsmen in and around Dublin and then to the south to where they held many profitable land and title both around, or in the towns of Wicklow and Arklow.

CAPTAIN THADY QUINN 332

THIS ancient Sept is recognized in the native Annals from the earliest date of surnames: those of Ulster commemorate amongst the heroes fought at Clontarf in 1014, Neill O’Quin. Widely spreading over Ireland this family held territory in Limerick, Clare, Longford, Westmeath, and Derry. In the first County the name has later been ennobled, with the titles of Barons Adare and Earls of Dunraven. In 1095, died of the plague Augustin O’Quinn, Chief Brehon of Leinster; and in 1188, Edwina, commemorated as ‘daughter of O’Quinn of Muinter-Iffernan in Thomond (Clare), and Queen of Muster,’ died in her pilgrimage at Derry, ‘victorious over the world and the devil.’ In 1252, Thomas O’Quinn was Bishop of Clonmacnoise, as was John Quin of Limerick in 1505. The Patent Rolls record pardons to Thomas O’ ‘Cuin’ in 1318, to Maolmurry O’ ‘Coigne’ of Castlemartin in 1395; and in 1402, King Henry the Fourth granted to Thomas O’Coyne, clerk, ‘of the Irish nation and blood,’ liberty to use

the English law and language. in 1404, David and John O” ‘Coygne,’ of the County of Kildare, sued out a license of pardon: and in 1413, Henry the Fifth granted to James O ‘Coyne,’ clerk, with the additional liberty of acquiring lands in mortmain for religious uses. Walter Quinn ‘of Dublin’ was preceptor to Prince Henry, on whose death he published an epitaph in 1613. *

The Act that in 1612 confiscated Ulster by the attainder of the Earl of Tyrone and his confederates, included Murtogh O’Quinn, ‘late of Dungannon,’ and Teague Modder O’Quinn of the same place. Cromwell’s memorable Ordinance of 1652 excepted from pardon for life and estate Brien Modder O’Quynne, and Turlogh Groom O’Quynne of Monagowre, in the County of Tyrone; while Mr. John Quinn was one of the twenty-four whom Ireton beheaded at the capitulation of Limerick. The Attainders of 1642 include Richard and Laughlin Quin of Ballyhooke, County of Wicklow; Edmund Quin of Ballenteskin, do. clerk; Christopher Quinn of St. Audoen’s parish, Dublin, and Christopher Quin of St. Michan’s. do. merchant. In a patent of Clare lands granted in 1680 to Dame Lucy ‘Fitzmorrice’ and her son Richard Fitz-Morrice, there was an especial saving of rights of Thady Quinn, possibly the above Captain, to certain lands therein, and to a mortgage on others of the grant.

334KING JAMES’S IRISH ARMY LIST

On this Army List, besides the above Captain Thady Quinn, Daniel Quinn was a Quartermaster in Colonel Nicholas Purcell’s Horse, as was Robert Quinn in Lord Dongan’s Dragoons; Christopher ‘Quin,’ a Coronet in Colonel Symon Lutrell’s, and James ‘Quinn,’ a Lieutenant in Major General Boiseleau’s Infantry. Captain Thady Quinn was attainted in 1691, when his estates in the County of Limerick became vested in the Crown. The other Outlawry's were of William Quin of Dublin, Richard Quinn of Athy, Hugh Mc Turlogh O’Quin of Cornetule, and Brian Oge Mac Turlogh O’Quin of Glunoe, County of Tyrone.

The map on the following page locates the estates forfeited to the Crown after the attainders of 1642. The BLUE represent the NUI Galway Landed Estates and the GREEN the 1642 Down Survey’s results.

There were only a few datasets to draw upon, the first is found at Trinity College Dublin and is known as the 1642 Down Surveys which attempt to illuminate the information in D’Alton’s book. The second is the Landed Estates database at the National University of Ireland, Moore Institute, Galway. From these two sources, I was able to reconstruct the many Quin and Quinn estates and their losses in 1641 and how they were dispersed in 1642. I then created a Google Earth Map that depicted all this information, including validation of additional information alleged by the Irish Origins maps and principal researcher Dr. Tyrone Bowes, PhD. Again, these are efforts to assist the members of the Cuinn Quinn DNA Project.

To view and interact with the online version of the map you will need to have purchased this manuscript which has your access code embedded in the invoice.
