The sons of Fergus are: 1. Dauí Tenga Uma Mac Bruin (abt.0425-0499) (NOT Brión (Macechach) mac Echach Muigmedóin (abt.0350-abt.0425)!) , 2. Eochaid Tirmcharna mac Fergusso (abt.1500-abt.1501) 3. Brion Fergna mac Fergus (abt.1500-abt.1510) (DATES ARE PLACEHOLDERS!) (Ui Briuin Breifne), and 4. Ercc.

The spreadsheet below demonstrates the differences between the 2 'Daui' based on a genealogy/DNA corroboration. Fergus is indeed the father of Daui Tengae Umai ; Brian is the father of Duach Galach. It also continues with the genealogy of Fergus sons Eochad Tirmcharna and Daui Tengae Umai.
