According to "Notes on Names of Inhabitants of Parish of Kilmichael, Co. Cork, 1766" the Herlihy family owned considerable propery up to the time of Cromwell's confiscations. JOHN O HIERLIGHY of Ballyvourney was amongst the persons outlawed. I would like to find some background material on this. Has anyone any information on this man or confiscation of Herlihy land. If you can be of help please e-mail me.
