O'Hara, a niece of Charles O'Hara the elder) about O'Hara property.

RED VS YELLOW
Controversy
Tadhg Dall O ‘hÚigínn once became involved in a bitter dispute
between two branches of the Ó hEadhra (O’Hara) family
, the Ó hEadhra Buí (Yellow)
& the Ó hEadhra Rua (Red) clan
: https://amayodruid.blogspot.com
THE SEPARATION OF THE O"HARAS @ Sligo
The Luighne or "race of Lugh,"
included the families of O’Hara (O hEaghra)
and O’Gara (O Gadhra).
The O’Haras
descend from Eaghra,
Lord of Luighne
(now the Barony of Leyney) in South Sligo,
who
died in 926
. In the fourteenth century
the O’Haras
divided into two branches,
the heads of which were
known as O’Hara Boy (Buidhe)
aka , the Yellow O’Hara
, and
O’Hara Reagh (Riabhach)
, the Speckled or Red
Brindled O’Hara.
A branch of the family settled early in County Antrim,
and became very important
there.
The O’Garas were once one clan
with the O’Haras
, and together their territory, Luighne,
included the
modern baronies of Corran and Leyney in South Sligo
, and Gallen and North Costello (Sliabh Lugha) in
Mayo
. About the end of the tenth century
the two families separated,
and divided the territory between
them, the O’Garas taking the Mayo portion
. They were driven from their territory by the Jordans,

------*O'Hara* (Irish : *Ó
hEaghra*) is a surname.[1]
The death of the eponym – Eaghra Poprigh mac Saorghus
,
lord of Luighne, in Connaught – is mentioned in the *Annals of
*
* the Four Masters
* in 926.
According to historian C. Thomas Cairney,
the O'Haras were one of the chiefly families of the "race
of Luighne " or "Lugh
" who came from the tribe of Cianacht
who in turn were from the Dumnonii
or Laigin who were the third
wave of Celts to settle in Ireland
during the first century BC

Ancestry[edit

Eaghra Poprigh mac Saorghus was a member of the Gailenga
people of north Connacht
. They were originally from the
kingdom of Brega on the east
coast of Ireland . Dubhaltach Mac
Fhirbhisigh (665.5.,
pp. 654–665) gives his pedigree
as:
- *Eaghra Paiprigh, from whom are Ui Eaghra, s. Saorghus s. Béac s.
Flaithgheas, from whom are Clann Flaithgheasa, s. Taichleach
(aforementioned) s. Ceann Faoladh s. Diarmuid s. Fionnbharr s. Bréanainn s.

Fiodhchuire, from whom are Ui Fhiodhchuire, s. Airtchearb s. Nia Corb s.
Loí, from whom are Luighne , s.
Cormac Gaileang s. Tadhg.*
The last name is that of Tadhg mac Cian, described at 660.6 (pp. 646–647)
as the son of Cian, son of Ailill Aulom
. Cian is given as the son of
Sadhbh inion Conn Cétchathach
(661.1, pp. 646–647).
At 660.4 on the same pages is written:
- *It is the family of Cian which is announced openly here according to
the old books which begin thus below: The families of Éibhear in Leath
Chuinn : eastern and
western Gaileanga , southern and
northern Cianachta , eastern and
western Luighne , and the four (or
seven) Dealbhna , i.e., Dealbhna
Mhór and Dealbhna Bheag in Midhe and
Dealbhna of Eathair in western Midhe, and Dealbhna of Tír Dhá Loch
in Connacht
.*
Members of the family feature in the Old Irish
tale
, Battle of Maigh Mucruimhe
, in which Cian
and his six brothers were killed in the battle.

names his sons as Muirgheas
