NOTES

[1] Molloy: O'Donovan is of opinion that the Clann Taidhg or Molloys of Oakport, county Roscommon, were a distinct family from O'Molloy, of Fircall, King's County; but we are of opinion that the Molloys of Oakport are descended from Cuileann, brother of Rory, who is No. 112 on this pedigree.—(See "Molloy" (No. 2), next after this genealogy.)
