Notes

From McKenna-3259:

1 Patrick MCKENNA Birth: IrelandGriffith's Primary Valuation (1847-64) recs. both McKENNA & McCLUSKY households in County Tyrone, Ireland. 1859 Griffith's recs. a Patrick McKENNA res. in the townland of GARVAGH, parish UPPER BODNEY, barony UPPER STRABANE, Tyrone. Patrick McKENNA leased a farm of 33 acres, 1 rood & 35 poles, from Lord Dorchester, at a cost of £4.00 (four pounds) for the land and a further 10s (ten shillings) for the buildings.The next plot of 36 acres, 3 roods & 30 poles, is leased by a James McKENNA for £4.05 (four pounds & five shillings) for the land & 10s for the buildings.Griffith's also recs. in the same townland a Patrick & Jas McKENNA and several other tenants leasing from Lord Dorchester a mountain of 556 acres & 3 roods for £15.05 (fifteen pounds & five shillings). Grenham's Irish Surnames recs. that MacKENNA is the English form of the Irish surname MAC CIONAOITH. The MAC CIONAOITH were originally based in Meath, but in early times were brought north into Clogher as hired fighters by the rulers of that territory, and quickly became lords in their own right of Truagh, a territory on the borders of the modern counties of Tyrone and Monaghan. Their power endured down to the seventeenth century, their last chief being Patrick McKENNA, who died near Emyvale Co. Monaghan in 1616. Another branch of this family settled in Co. Derry in the seventeenth century, near the town of Maghera. The name is one of the few for which anglicisation, the loss of the "Mac" prefix, has never worked. The surname is still very numerous in the area of the original homeland, to the point where suffixes and local nicknames are necessary to identify the different families of the name. Over the centuries, however, it has spread throughout Ireland.

Spouse: Catherine McCLUSKY Birth: Ireland1873 Surname probably recd. incorrectly on Patrick McKENNA's marr. lic. as McCUSKY. Griffiths Primary Valuation (1847-64) doesn't record the surname McCUSKY in Ireland. It does, however, rec. both McKENNA's and McCLUSKY's res. in Ulster, predominantly in County Monaghan and County Tyrone.

=== From McKenna-3225 === McKenna-3259 had noted marriage as 1873 but this doesn't seem right. Suspect this should be death instead of marriage year. death of Catherine McLusky also listed as "? 1866" which doesn't fit with marriage date of 1873. P. McKenna also noted son with unknown birth and death dates: "Michael McKenna". There is a note by Michael which states "Rosa ??" and so this may be a spouse of Michael.
