From earliest times until the break-up of the Gaelic clan system at the beginning of the 17th century, the O'Devlins were, with their kinsmen the O'Donnellys, the real fighting force of the O'Neills This was in fact a very important function - the O'Devlins and O'Donnellys after all came from a line of kings. At this time battles were fought only by people of this kind.[1]

The O'Devlin in Irish Ó Dobhailéin eponym have been identified in two clans.

(Dolan/Devlin) of County Sligo

In the kingdom of Luighne Connacht, now divided between County Sligo and County Mayo.

The general accepted form in Irish today is Ó Dúbhláin (mod. Ó Dúláin) as given by Woulfe and others. O'Dolean, later Dolan, derives from Ó Dobhailen, the name of a family on record since the twelfth century in the baronies of Clonmacnowen, Co. Galway, and Athlone, Co. Roscommon, in the heart of the Uí Maine country and quite distinct from Ó Doibhilin (Devlin).[2] Recently, a Dolan has tested in ftDNA Big-Y for R-A10530 which is grouped with Devlins thought to be from Tyrone. This could mean the Sligo and Tyrone Dúbhláins are closer related than previously thought.

Dobhailen mac Gormghus, eponym of the Ó Dobhailen clan (Sligo), d. 885. King of Luighne Connacht[3][4]

(Devlins) of County Tyrone

Monterevlin Land of the O'Devlins

In Tyrone, the most prominent family of the name were of the Ui Neill. The Ui Neil horsemen, called the Quynnes, were the Devlin along with the Haugans, and Conelands.[5] The Devlin home was situated on the north and western shore of Lough Neagh in an area known as Muintirdevlin.

County of Tyrone(Sir Arthur Chichester's Instructions to Sir James Ley and Sir John Davys. 1608) "The chief septs of this country are the O'Neales, and under them the O'Donnoles, O'Hagganes, O'Quynes, O'Delvynes [O'Devlins], O'Corres, the Clandonells, the Melans, and other septs, which are warlike people and many in number, and must be provided for or overmastered, without which they will not be ruled nor removed."[6] In Tyrone the O’Hagans, O’Quinns, O’Devlins and O’Donnellys were living in the vicinity of Dungannon.[7] Maguiggan - The O'Devlin's right hand man.[8] a "Gentleman" received a pardon from the English in1601 along with the O'Devlin "Gentleman" Vicar of Arboe.

THE O'DEVLINS OF SLIGO

  • Develin in his book thinks "THE O'DEVLINS OF SLIGO

There was at one time a sept of Sligo in Connaught named O'Devlin. They had no known connection with the O'Devlins of Tyrone and have apparently been extinct for many centuries"

  • Corca Fhir Trí - Corca-Firthri, the people of the barony of Gallen (Gailenga), co. Mayo; and the baronies of Leyney (Luigne) and Corran in co. Sligo; as cited in Onomasticon Goedelicum. Citing from the annals, a sept referenced as Ui Dobhailen (O'Devlin or perhaps O'Dolan) is noted with connections to Luighne (Connacht) and the people of Corca Fir Thrí. MacLysaght states that O'Devlin is derived from the Irish O Doibhilin, a sept located in the barony of Corran, County Sligo, matching to the reference of Luighne and Gailenga in the Annals (below). He also notes the surname O'Dolan deriving from the Irish O Dobhailen, further noting this sept in Ui Maine country.

The Annals cite for the term Corco Fir Trí [45][46]

You have an incredible site. The book you are looking for you may have to check some of the rare on line books. I was wondering what your plans are for incorporating the profiles in your study? Thanks for letting me look at your study I got a lot of good ideas. Taylor

I think I have found the book. Grrrr $80 from Ireland for a small paper back. It's in the mail.

Most of the profiles here are notables. Most are very hard to connect to the main tree, but I keep trying.
