THE CALAGHANS
The Callahans trace their ancestry from Ceallachan Cashal, 42nd Christian King of Munster, who reigned in the 10th Century 952 A.D. He was a staunch defender of his territory against the incursion of the Danes, who he eventually routed from Munster.
The Gaelic word signifies "the defenders." The early Callahans were chiefs of the barony of Kinalea in Southern County Cork. Disposed during the Norman invasion, they settled on both sides of the river Blackwater, west from Mallow, and comprising the present parishes of Clonneen and Kilshannick. Theywere driven from these lands by Cromwell, and after that, they settled in County Claire, but lesser members of teh clan remained close to their original lands; and at present, the family is numerous in County Cork.
