The phenomenon of Irish names throughout Europe is part of what is known in history as the 'flight of the wild geese'; related stories "The Wild Geese;" or Ireland:"The Fright of the Wild Geese"; and "Wild Geese History."
Over time some of the Irish changed their Gaelic surname. For example, the McEneiry family of County Limerick served in the French armies during the 18th century and several of them eventually changed their names to Mannery. Dillion is also an Irish family who went to France, as was the famous Hennessy family who later established the cognac company. Edward MacLysaght's book "Irish Surnames" can give further details on the Irish 'wild geese families".
However, the Taffes family went to Austria, with the famous Field Marshal of the Austro-Hungarian empire a Taffe, while the Rourke family went to Russia and served under Catherine the Great. These are but a few examples....
Some of the direct descendents of the ancient Irish clan chieftains (toiseach) are still resident in Spain - as the 'O'Neil' and the 'O'Donnell', still live there and their titles are recognized by those countries (as a courtesy title).
The Irish diaspora on the European continent, known as the Flight of the Wild Geese, was mostly Irishmen, expelled by British authorities, served in several European armies, most notably: France, Spain, Austria, and Russia. Many Jacobites supporting the Catholic King James in the failed Jacobite rising settled in France and Spain as well.
The name Manry is one of the spellings of this surname, other spellings are Manery, Manary, Mannery, Mannary, Maury, Mannuary, Menary and there are other spelling. Information from documented sources believe the Manry surnames to be an anglicized version from the old Irish surnames of MacEinery, MacEniry, MacEnriy, MacEnery or MacEnnery. More information on these surnames are listed below under "The MacEniry Family". Another tradition is that the family was descended from the Irish that were know as "The Black Irish". 'Black Irish' is often a description of people of Irish origin who had dark features, black hair, dark complexion and dark or blue eyes. There is no documents or written evidence of this, except that it had been revealed by descendants of John Manry and Edward Manery that they were descandents of the "Black Irish". This would help explain and give support to the Legend of "The Black Irish" and explain the dark hair, blue eyes, soft southern skin and would testifiy to their Spanish heritage. The story has been told by a number of Irish and Irish-Americans by way of explaining their own dark hair, dark complexion, blue eyes and high cheek bones. This would also explain why some of the earlier Manry's would have been mistaken to be Native American. More information about the "Black Irish" are at these web sites."The Myth Of The Black Irish": "Who Are The Black Irish": "What Does Black Irish Mean?": "Black Irish": Many Manry (Various Spellings) descendents also departed England and France and arrived in America in the early 1600's. France is where the Menary's who originally came to Northern Ireland were from. Saint Menuret's bones and plaque are found in Paris and the Province Montelimar Churches are where the Menary ancestors likely attended in the late 1500's. More about St. Menuret and the Menary's of France are at The Menary Genealogy Website Some say that a Spanish nobleman with the last name of Manrique settled in Ireland and his last name was shortened to Manry. There were Mannery's living in various part of England as far back as 1500. Some of this clan were in Gloucestershire, County England.

~Lords Of Connello, County Limerick~
According to the Genealogica1 Tables complied by Dr. O�Donovan from The Book of Leacan, and O�Cleary�s and Macfirbis�s Genealogies, this ancient family is descended from Sadna the fourth son of Cairbre Aedhbha (ancestor of O�Donovan), the tenth in descent from Oilioll Olum, King of Munster, who died A.D. 234. The surname in Irish is
MacIneirghe.+
+ MacIneirghe: This surname (�eirghe: Irish, aising) distinct from O�h-Ainnerraidh or O�h-Ainnearaigh (�an: �Irish, the definite article; � nearach, �lucky, happy), chiefs of Cuilleanntrach, and a quo O�h-Inneirghe, auglicized O�Henry and MacHenery: and has been variously rendered as follows; MacInneirghe (Innery), MacAneiridh, MacAngheire MacEineiry, MacEniry, MacEniry (which now obtains in the family). MacEnrigh, MacIndereighe, MacInnerigh, McEndrie, McEnery, McEnnery and M�Kynery; and in France, Mannery. From the spelling and pronunciation of �MacIneirghe� we are satisfied that it is the sirname from which Irwin, Irwine, Irving, MacNair, MacNeir, MacNeary and Neary derived. It was therefore our mistake to derive any of these sirnames from O�Conaire or MacConaire.
Through the years these surnames were anglicized Mannery, Manery, Manary, Manry, Mennery, Menry, Menary and Menery
+ McHenry: This family surname is in Irish MacIneirghe, which is now anglicized MacEniry; and is quite distinct from MacHenry.
~IRISH and ANGLO-IRISH~

First found in Limerick where they were anciently seated as descendents of Sedna, son of Cairbre Aedbha, descended from Oilioll Olum, King of Munster who died 234.
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Juan McEnery, who arrived in St. Augustine, FL in 1797; Jayme McEnery, who arrived in St. Augustine, FL in 1797; Patrick T. Macenry arrived in Charleston S.C. in 1800.; John Mannery arrived in Charleston S.C. in 1767; Richard Mannery arrived in Virginia in 1671; John Mannurey listed on Passenger List 1675 as servant of Nicolas Sewell of Cecil County, Maryland, Michael McEnery, who settled in Indiana sometime between 1850 and 1852.
The members of the current generation of the Manry family have inherited a name that was first used hundreds of years ago by the people of the ancient Scottish tribe called the Picts. The Manry family lived near the foot of the river Roe in the Irish county of Derry. The Gaelic form of the name is Rothach, which means a man of Ro or a man from Ro.
Translation has done much to alter the appearance of many Scottish names. It was a haphazard process that lacked a basic system of rules. Spelling variations were a common result of this process. Manry has appeared Monroe, Monro, Monrow, Munroe, Munro, Munrow and many more.
First found in Cromartyshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Chromba) former county in northern Scotland, consisting of a series of enclaves within Ross-shire, now part of the Council Areas of Highland and Western Isles, where they were descended from Donadl O'Kane and his Irish sept, who left their homeland at the mouth of the river Roe, in Ireland and settler in Ferrindonald in Cromarty, in the 11th century.
Many Scots left their country to travel to the North American colonies in search of the freedom they could not find at home. Of those who survived the difficult voyage, many found the freedom they so desired. There they could choose their own beliefs and allegiances. Some became United Empire Loyalists and others fought in the American War of Independence. The clan societies and highland games that have sprung up in the last century have allowed many of these disparate Scots to recover their collective national identity. A search of immigration and passenger ship lists revealed many early settlers bearing the Manry name: Alexander Monro settled in Georgia in 1735 with his wife and children; Hector Monroe settled in the Barbados in 1745; Hugh Monrow settled in Boston in 1651.
~HARVEY NAME~
Harvey is an ancient Norman name that arrived in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Harvey comes from the Breton personal name Aeruiu or Haerviu. It is composed of the elements haer, which means battle or carnage, and vy, which means worthy. The name was commonly introduced to England in its Gallicicized form Herve.
Multitudes of spelling variations are a hallmark of Anglo Norman names. Most of these names evolved in the 11th and 12th century, in the time after the Normans introduced their own Norman French Language into a country where Old and Middle English had no spelling rules and the languages of the court were French and Latin. To make matters worse, medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, so names frequently appeared differently in the various documents in which they were recorded. The name was spelled Harvey, Hervey, Hervie, Harvie and others.
First found in Norfolk where they were seated from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Because of this political and religious unrest within English society, many people decided to immigrate to the colonies. Families left for Ireland, North America, and Australia in enormous numbers, travelling at high cost in extremely inhospitable conditions. The New World in particular was a desirable destination, but the long voyage caused many to arrive sick and starving. Those who made it, though, were welcomed by opportunities far greater than they had known at home in England. Many of these families went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name harvey or a variant listed above: William Harvey settled in New England in 1630; Nicholas Hervey settled in Maryland in 1634; Alexander Harvie settled in Virginia in 1635; Anne Harview settled in Virginia in 1635.
~MORRIS NAME~
This old Welsh surname comes from the Latin personal name Mauritius, which means dark. In Britain, Maurice was the learned form of the name, while Morice was the common form. The surname Morris was likely also assumed as a surname after being a nickname for a dark or swarthy person.
Compared to other ancient cultures found in the British Isles, the number of Welsh surnames are relatively few, but there are an inordinately large number of spelling variations. These spelling variations began almost as soon as surname usage became common. In the early Middle Ages, the general population was almost entirely illiterate and literary languages had inconsistent rules regarding spelling. As a result, people could not specify how to spell their own names leaving the specific recording up to the individual scribe or priest. Those recorders would then spell the names as they heard them, causing many different variations. Later, many Welsh names were recorded in English. This transliteration process was extremely imprecise since the Brythonic Celtic language of the Welsh used many sounds the English language was not accustomed to. Finally, some variations occurred by the individual's design: a branch loyalty within a family, a religious adherence, or even patriotic affiliations were indicated by spelling variations of one's name. The Morris name over the years has been spelled Morris, Morriss, Moriss, Morrice, Morice, Moris and others.
First found in Herefordshire, a present day county in Western England, and scene of much border warfare between the Welsh and English through the Middle Ages, where they were seated from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Many people from Wales joined the general migration to North America in the 19th and 20th centuries, searching for land, work, and freedom. Like the many other immigrants from the British Isles, they made a significant contribution to the development of Canada and the United States. The Welsh and their descendents added a rich cultural tradition to the newly developed towns, cities, and villages. An investigation of the immigration and passenger lists has revealed a number of people bearing the name Morris: Patrick Morris who settled in Philadelphia in 1852; George Morris settled in Virginia in 1774; Humphrey Morris settled in the Barbados in 1635; Jenkin Morris settled in Virginia in 1635. ~HAWKINS NAME~
The ancestors of the bearers of the hawkins name were members of the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. hawkins is derived from the Old English personal name Hafoc, which continued to be in use until the 13th century. The surname hawkins was originally derived from the form Havec and the addition of the diminutive suffix -in, which forms Havek-in, which became the Middle English name Hawkin. The patronymic Hawkins is by far the most common form of the name, and is found mostly in the West Country and Wesr Midlands of England.
The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. hawkins has been spelled many different ways, including Hawkins, Hawkin, Haykins, Haykin and others.
First found in Kent where they were seated from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first hawkinss to arrive in North America: Thomas Hawkins, who settled in New England in 1630; Job Hawkins, who settled in Boston in 1630; Richard Hawkins, who settled in New England in 1635; Robert and Mary Hawkins, who came to the America aboard the Elizabeth and Ann in 1635, and settled in Charlestown; Henry Hawkins before 1665 and his wife Eleanor Hawkins with their son John came from England in 1666 and settled in Charles County, Maryland . ~TUBMAN NAME~
Spelling variations of this family name include: Tubb, Tub, Tubby, Tubman and others.
English: occupational name for a cooper, from Middle English tubbe �tub� + man �man�.
First found in Cornwall where they were anciently seated as Lords of the Manor of Trengoff.
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Samuel Tubman, Planter from England to Maryland circa 1600: Elizabeth Tubb, who came to Maryland in 1670; Mathew Tubb, who settled in Virginia in 1673; Richard Tubb, who came to Maryland in 1675; Thomas Tub, who arrived in Maryland in 1668.
"In 1696 the religious census of the Province sent to the Bishop of London showed William and Mary Parish and Port Tobacco Parish had 250 Tithables and an income of 10,320 pounds of tobacco with the incumbent minister for both parishes being the Reverend George Tubman. 'Nanzemy' had 175 tithables with 19,000 pounds of tobacco."

~HOLEMAN NAME~
The history of the name Holeman goes back those Anglo-Saxon tribes that once ruled over Britain. Such a name was given to a holy man who was a priest or friar. The surname Holeman originally derived from the Old English word Hol or Hool.
Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Holeman have been found, including Holman, Hollman, Holeman and others.
First found in Worcestershire where they were seated from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Families began migrating abroad in enormous numbers because of the political and religious discontent in England. Often faced with persecution and starvation in England, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people. Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become powerful new nations. Among early immigrants of the Holeman surname to cross the Atlantic and come to North America were: John Holman, who settled in Nantasket Mass. in 1630; William Holman settled in Cambridge Mass in 1630; Edward Holman settled in Boston in 1632; another Edward Holman settled in Plymouth Mass.
~PARKER NAME~
The history of the parker name began with the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is occupational, derived from the job of parker, the individual who was the guardian of the park grounds. Some Parkers were employed by noblemen who held large estates that needed the grounds of the estate or castle maintained.
Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of parker include Parker, Parkers, Parkeres, Parkere and others.
First found in Derbyshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times.
Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The parker were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: Edward Parker, who arrived in Maryland in 1637; Captain George Parker who came to Boston in 1635; William Parker, who settled in Hartford, Connecticut in 1635.
~A FRENCH CONNECTION~
To commemorate the arrival of the first pilgrims to America�s shores, a June date would be far more appropriate, accompanied perhaps by coq au vin and a nice Bordeaux. After all, the first European arrivals seeking religious freedom in the �New World� were French. And they beat their English counterparts by 50 years. That French settlers bested the Mayflower Pilgrims may surprise Americans raised on our foundational myth, but the record is clear.
Long before the Pilgrims sailed in 1620, another group of dissident Christians sought a haven in which to worship freely. These French Calvinists, or Huguenots, hoped to escape the sectarian fighting between Catholics and Protestants that had bloodied France since 1560.
Landing in balmy Florida in June of 1564, at what a French explorer had earlier named the River of May (now the St. Johns River near Jacksonville), the French �migr�s promptly held a service of �thanksgiving.� Carrying the seeds of a new colony, they also brought cannons to fortify the small, wooden enclosure they named Fort Caroline, in honor of their king, Charles IX.
In short order, these French pilgrims built houses, a mill and bakery, and apparently even managed to press some grapes into a few casks of wine. At first, relationships with the local Timucuans were friendly, and some of the French settlers took native wives and soon acquired the habit of smoking a certain local �herb.� Food, wine, women � and tobacco by the sea, no less. A veritable Gallic paradise.
Except, that is, to the Spanish, who had other visions for the New World. In 1565, King Philip II of Spain issued orders to �hang and burn the Lutherans� (then a Spanish catchall term for Protestants) and dispatched Adm. Pedro Men�ndez to wipe out these French heretics who had taken up residence on land claimed by the Spanish � and who also had an annoying habit of attacking Spanish treasure ships as they sailed by.
Leading this holy war with a crusader�s fervor, Men�ndez established St. Augustine and ordered what local boosters claim is the first parish Mass celebrated in the future United States. Then he engineered a murderous assault on Fort Caroline, in which most of the French settlers were massacred. Men�ndez had many of the survivors strung up under a sign that read, �I do this not as to Frenchmen but as to heretics.� A few weeks later, he ordered the execution of more than 300 French shipwreck survivors at a site just south of St. Augustine, now marked by an inconspicuous national monument called Fort Matanzas, from the Spanish word for �slaughters.�
With this, America�s first pilgrims disappeared from the pages of history. Casualties of Europe�s murderous religious wars, they fell victim to Anglophile historians who erased their existence as readily as they demoted the Spanish settlement of St. Augustine to second-class status behind the later English colonies in Jamestown and Plymouth.
But the truth cannot be so easily buried. Although overlooked, a brutal first chapter had been written in the most untidy history of a �Christian nation.� And the sectarian violence and hatred that ended with the deaths of a few hundred Huguenots in 1565 would be replayed often in early America, the supposed haven for religious dissent, which in fact tolerated next to none.
Starting with those massacred French pilgrims, the saga of the nation�s birth and growth is often a bloodstained one, filled with religious animosities. In Boston, for instance, the Puritan fathers banned Catholic priests and executed several Quakers between 1659 and 1661. Cotton Mather, the famed Puritan cleric, led the war cries against New England�s Abenaki �savages� who had learned their prayers from the French Jesuits. The colony of Georgia was established in 1732 as a buffer between the Protestant English colonies and the Spanish missions of Florida; its original charter banned Catholics. The bitter rivalry between Catholic France and Protestant England carried on for most of a century, giving rise to anti-Catholic laws, while a mistrust of Canada�s French Catholics helped fire many patriots� passion for independence. As late as 1844, Philadelphia�s anti-Catholic �Bible Riots� took the lives of more than a dozen people.
The list goes on. Our history is littered with bleak tableaus that show what happens when righteous certitude is mixed with fearful ignorance. Which is why this Thanksgiving, as we express gratitude for America�s bounty and promise, we would do well to reflect on all our histories, including a forgotten French one that began on Florida�s shores so many years ago.
It started in Ulster at Lough Foyle when, in 1607 Hugh O'Neil (Aodh O Neil) and Red Hugh O'Donnell (Ruadha Aodh O Donmaill) and hundreds of the Gaelic aristocracy left Ireland for Hapsburg Spain because they were under increasing pressure from English and Scottish Protestant adventurers and 'planters' (ie. settlers) on their traditional territories in the north of Ireland (Ulster). After this initial wave of aristocratic immigration, another wave of Irish went abroad after defeat by Cromwell in 1651-2 (many of them soldiers) and finally, there was a mass exodus of over 30,000 of them after the final defeat of the Irish Jacobites after the Battle of Athlone in 1691 and the capitulation of Limerick city during that year. This final wave saw lots of Irish go to France - many of which were prominent in French history down until present times. Field Marshal McDonald suggested that there certainly was a Field Marshal McMahon - and from whom McMahon Avenue in Paris was named after. His family was an ancient family from County Clare in the west of Ireland and he was related to that family's famous chieftain who was slain by English forces at the battle of Kinsale in 1601 (during High O'Neil's 9 year long war against English aggression).
