  Family History Document	From Templemichael Cty. Waterford IrelandMacLysaght's "Irish Families, Their Names, Arms, and Origins" has th is to say about : O'CONNELLAN, Conlan, Conlon.Conlon, Conlan and Connellan are all synonyms (readers outside Ireland w ho might tend to stress the second syllable-ell--of Connellan may ne ed to be told that in fact it is barely audible, Connellan and Conlan bei ng pronounced almost alike). Several different Irish surnames have be en so anglicized. The principal septs so called in English are Ó Conal1al in of Roscommon and Galway and Ó Coinghiolla'in ofCo. Sligo : their present day representatives are chiefly found in northConnacht---in Counties Mayo and Sligo. The name is also fairly numerous i nCo. Meath and the mid-lands, where however they are also called Quinlan-ÓCoindealbhdin in Irish: they descend from an important sept seated near Tr imwhich traces back to Laoghaire, King of Ireland in the time of St. Patrick ,but was dispossessed at the Anglo-Irish invasion. In Munster ÓCaoindealbha'in, usually anglicized Quinlevan, is sometimes made Conlon. ( For Quinlan and Quinlevan see p. 251 infra). In the seventeenth century the name was very numerous and widespread. InPetty's census (1659) it appears, under seven different spellings, as o ne ofthe com-moner names in Counties Roscommon, Clare, Sligo, Longford, Westmea th, Offaly, Kildare and Louth. The spelling Connellan is infrequent in modem times, compared with Conl an andConlon, only about ten per cent. using that form; but so far as distinguis hedmen of the name are concerned Connellans are outstanding. " The Book of t heO'Connel-lans," a mediaeval work in Irish, deals with Tirconnell genealogi es.Abraham O'Conn-ellan was Archbishop of Armagh from 1247 to 1260 and ThomasO'Connellan, Bishop of Achonry from 1492 to 1505. Thomas O'Connellan (c.1620-1695), was a composer of Irish airs and noted harper, as was his brot herLaurence, who was well known in Scotland as a wandering harper after 1700.Owen Connellan (1800-1869), another north Connacht man, was an eminent Gae licscholar; and Joseph Connellan, Nationa-list Six-County M.P. was one of theactive pioneers of Sinn Fein and the Gaelic Athletic Association in Ulster . The well known war-cry " Conlan abu " was not connected with any of the se septs : it was used by the O'Mores of Leix.
