Drummully (also Drumully; Droim Ailí "rocky ridge") is a civil parish in the Irish counties of Fermanagh and Monaghan. It comprises

History

The Anglican Church of Ireland was the established church from the Reformation in Ireland until the Irish Church Act 1869, so that its ecclesiastical parishes were the basis for the civil parishes. Where ecclesiastical parishes were merged or split, this might also change the civil parishes, depending on the legal mechanism via which the change was effected.

Drummully is in the Diocese of Clogher. In 1306, the3 ecclesiastical parish of Drummully comprised the modern civil parishes of parish of Galloon, Drummully, Currin, Ematris, Aghabog, and Killeevin; it was in the deanery of Clones. It was linked to the territory of Clann Mac Domhnaill withing Clankelly. It probably had chapel-of-ease with dependent chapelries which later became separate parishes. In 1428, Drumully was a parish, including Currin. Most of the civil parishes in the region date from the 18th century. Before the Plantation of Ulster the parish of Drummully contained six ballybetaghs and two tates (townlands), where each ballybetagh comprised 16 tates. These were:

• In Coolenanoirear (? bar Coole?): Drumloan, Ballyletureyne (= Letterbreen) and Ballinchullin (=Ballyhullagh)
• In Clankelly: Comyns ("three quarters"; = Connons) Ballyrenvillie (=Ringvilla) Carrowgarcagh ("quarter" = Carrowgarragh bar. Magherastephana) and Ballinchirrin & Tonaboy (= Keeran and Tonnaboy)

Ó Gabhann was erenagh of Drummully church, and Ó Dúnáin of Donagh chapel. The bishop of Clogher got rent of 20 groats from the two tates of the erenagh ("Muntergone", Uí Gabhan, Gowan). Ó Dufaigh says the church ruins are in Clonfad tld, not Drummully tld.

In the Plantation of Ulster, Sir John Wishart was the patentee of 1,500 acres in "precinct of Knockninny" in South Fermanagh, between Newtownbutler and Clones, constituted into the Manor of Leitrim; at a rent of £8 a year, which he subsequently sold to Sir Stephen Butler.

1896 comment:

The old parish of "Galloon," in which this church stands, was very extensive; it spread from the Anna Lee River to the shores of Lough Erne, E. to W., and from the present county boundary to the Ulster Canal, S. to N., occupying the entire S.W. corner of the Co. Monaghan and a part of Fermanagh adjacent. The present parishes of Galloon, Killeevan, Newbliss, Ematris, Rockcorry, Drum, Currin, and Drummully are all inside its boundaries. It is said the parish Church Cill-Laebain — Church of Laebhan — was somewhere on the shores of Lough Erne. There are slight traces of remains there, I believe; also at Edragoole; also at Shanco and Killeevan, and one here. About three miles from Clones, and the same from Newbliss, stand the ruins of an old church now called Drumswords, from the townland in which it is situated. It is a complete ruin, and in a very deserted lonely situation.

"In the early nineteenth century the old church ruin in Drummully townland was explained as having belonged to the bishop's manor of Donagh in Galloon." Donagh tld Fermanagh not mentioned in 1609 manors. Probably manor of Donagh is not related to Donaghmoyne, which was a name for Farney in Monaghan. The 1306 parish of Donagh is far northwest of Galloon.

A 1610 grant to Michael Balfour, 1st Lord Balfour of Burleigh of "The great proportion of Legan [Leginn; sw of Upper L Erne] in all, 2,000 acres, together with the presentation, advowson, and patronage of the vicarage of Dromully. Also, the small proportion of Carrowshee [Cornashee; same zone as Legan]; in all, 1,000 acres. " — is this the Drummully in Legan/Carrowshee area, which is not a modern civil parish, or our Drummully, which is not in the area?

The Down Survey map of Dartree shows all the Monaghan portion of Drummully as part of Currin parish, and "Drumne cullen church" east of this in Fermanagh.

In the 18th century the parish of Drummully was small and usually united with the parishes of Galloon or Currin. The 1733 visitation reported 195 Church of Ireland families in the parish, along with 216 Catholic and 14 Presbyterian.

On 25 May 1773, 42 townlands of Drummully and Galloon were separated into a new parish of St Mary Drumkrin or Drumcrin; in 1804 by Act of Council it was merged partly to Galloon and partly to Currin, with most of the Currin portion to be merged into Drummully with effect from the death of the Currin incumbent. In 1823, the former Drummully parish church in Newtownbutler became the Galloon parish church.

Beaufort 1792 includes Drummully and "Drumkin" [sic]. Check other parishes and map.

In the 1831 census returns, Drummully was entirely within Coole barony, county Fermanagh, and included the Fermanagh portion of Drumkrin; the Monaghan portion of Drumkrin was enumerated separately from Currin. The 1831 gives "no return" for some 1821 cells, may mean "recorded in another row" rather than "not recorded at all". In 1833 list of parishes of Clogher, Drummully, Currin, and Galloon all separate, and no Drumkrin. Whereas Drumkrin is there in an 1829 list.

I wonder if the 1821 Knockninny bar Drummully cp portion was the Drummully tld now in Kinawley cp?

15 July 1843 a detached part of Coole bar was transferred to Clankelly bar, incl parts of Drummully and Currin cps.

Decisions under the Irish church act, 1869 shows parishes at disestablishment, incl. Drummully, Galloon, Currin, and "Currin, Drum" — is that a chapelry within the parish? The Representative Church Body index of registers lists "Drumully [sic]" (1812–2002), Currin (1812–2002), "Currin Drum" (1828–1875), Drumkrin (1801–1811), Galloon (1798–1875).

In the Church of Ireland, the civil parish is now part of the combined ecclesiastical parish of Galloon, Sallaghy and Drummully. Sallaghy: logainm — tld in "Galloon and Islands"; RCB — records for 1841–1878. Built as a chapel-of-ease in Galloon in 1840; initially a district curacy with a curate-in-charge; in 1894 made parish with James Waterson as incumbent. "Following the resignation of Rev Alan Synnott as Rector of Galloon and Drummully the new grouping of Galloon, Sallaghy and Drummully became effective on 7th December 2000. The first rector of the new group, Rev Brian Crowe was instituted on 25th June 2001."

In 1975 Pilip Ó Mórdha talks of two Clonfad townlands in the "parish of Currin"; likely the Catholic parish; one in the "Drummully (or Connons) section", the other in "the section commonly referred to as Laurelhill". The latter Clonfad is the Killeevan cp exclave between Currin (Monaghan), Drummully (Fermanagh), and Annagh (Cavan) cps. Laurelhill is in Cornapaste tld just east of that Clonfad.

Long quotes

Samuel Burdy 1792 re Samuel Madden:

The living possessed by Dr. Madden is called Drummully, worth at that time [c.1730?] about 400l. a year; but the church, of which Mr. Skelton served the cure, is adjacent to the village of Newtown-Butler. When the living of Drummully fell vacant, the doctor was a colonel of militia, and was then in Dublin dressed in scarlet. The right of presenting to this benefice being divided between the doctor's family, and some other; his family had presented on the last vacancy, and of course the other had a right to present now. His family, however, offered to give up all right of presentation in future, if they were allowed to present on this occasion; which was agreed to, and thus the doctor got the living.

Hill 1877 quotes:

Nicholas Pynnar's 1619 survey

Sir John Wishart sold this proportion to Sir Stephen Butler, on the 10th of November, 1615. The said proportions of Latrym and Kilspinan doe all, or the most parte thereof, lye within the parish of Drumully. The cite and rewens of the ancient church of Dromully standeth verie remote, and in the woods uppon the uttermost south parte of the parish, towards the borders of the countie of Monaghan, above 7 myles distante from the north parte of the parish, and is altogether rewinous and out of use, and verie unfitt to be continued for divers respects. It will be much more fitt and convenient, and a great furtherance and safetie unto the Englishe plantation, and the inhabitants thereabouts, to have the parish church erected within the towne of Newtowne at Castlecoole, wher the said great plantation of English now is, and wher there is a house builte, and a churchyarde alreadie laid out to that purpose, which is usuallie frequented, and devine service evefrv Sunday and hollyday saide, and the holy sacraments and christian burialls, and other holly rights and seremonyes selebrated, used, and said therein, which is desired as most fitt to be continewed there. The faires and marketts formerlie graunted to be kepte upon the tate of land called Aghadee at Castlecoole, are fitt to be continewed as they are now kept and held; and it is and will be, verie fitt, to have one other faire to be holden upon St. Nicholas' daie, everie yeare, which will not prejudice anie other of the neighbor townes, there not being anie faires kept that daie within 10 myles."

DRUMKRIN, in the Barony of Coole, Co. of Fermanagh, and Province of Ulster: a R[ectory] and V[icarage] : a Church, in good condition: no Glebe ; but both this parish, and the parish of Currin,will be provided with Glebes on the next avoidance: The Rev. William Moffet, the Incumbent (in 1806), who has cure of souls of Currin and Drumkrin, is resident, and discharges the duties, assisted by a Curate. The parishes of Currin, and Drumkrin, contiguous and intermixed, are about seven miles in extent; and, together with the parishes of Aghnabog, Ematris, Killeevan, and Drumsnatt, had been all united and appropriated, time immemorial, as the Corps to the Chancellorship of the Cathedral of Clogher. By several Acts of Council (the last bearing date, 17th January, 1804), they have all been separated. By this Act, Drumkrin was divided into two parts, one whereof being a portion of the new Corps of the Chancellorship, and being resigned, the Incumbent retained the other part in Episcopal Union with Currin, March 6th 1806. The part retained will merge in, or take the name of Drummully on the next vacancy. Drumkrin is in the Diocese of Clogher, and Province of Armagh,. It is 10 m. N. from Cavan. It is situate on the River Fina. See, Galloon

DRUMMULLY, in the Barony of Coole, Co. of Fermanagh, and Province of Ulster: a R. and V., valued in the King's Books at .£10. sterling: a Church, in good condition: no Glebe House, but on the next vacancy, one will be built on the Glebe, of 154 acres, about one mile and three quarters distant from the church: The Rev. James Hastings, the Incumbent (in 1806), who has cure of souls, and resides on his other Benefice in the Diocese of Dublin; the Duties are discharged by a Resident Curate, at a Salary of £7 5. per annum. By Act of Council, in 1804; after the present Incumbency, the Great North West division of this parish will become part of the parish of Galloon, the Corps of the Chancellorship; the remainder will be joined to Drumkrin, which will then take the name of Drummully. Drummully is in the Diocese of Clogher,. and Province of Armagh. It is 4 m. W. b. S. from Clones. See, Drumkrin, and Galloon.

GALLOON, in the Barony of Dartree, Co. of MonaohAn, and Province of Ulster: ail, and V:: no Church: a Glebe House, 56 acres of Glebe, one mile and three quarters distant from the church of Drummully, which, on the next vacancy, is to be the church of this parish: The Rev. John Story, the Incumbent (in 1806), who has cure of souls, but being Assistant Curate to the Dean of Clogher is not resident: the duties are discharged by the Rector of Drumkrin. Galloon is in the Diocese of Clogher, and Province of Armagh. It is'3 in. S. b. E. from Clones. The Corps of the Chancellorship of the Cathedral Church of Clogher (valued in the King's Books at «£26.. 13..4 sterling) did consist of five parishes, under the denomination of the Union of Galloon, (time of Union or Appropriation unknown), which have been at sundry periods separated and disannexed by Act of Council. By the last act, dated January the 17th, 1804, the two lasf remaining parishes, Currin and Killeevan, were disannexed, saving the right of the Incumbent, during his Incumbency. These two parishes, therefore, with the small parish of Drumsnatt, Episcopally united, and all contiguous, continue as an union to the present possessor, but no longer. There is a church building in Currin, and another in Drumsnatt, when finished, there will be a parish church in each of the three parishes; Divine Service is at present performed in two churches. There are about 60 acres of Glebe in Killeevan, where the Incumbent resides: none, in Currin or Drumsnatt.

Erck 1827:

Fermanagh was found by survey to contain ... 33,437 acres [which] were divided into twenty-six proportions ... Each proportion was made a parish, and sixty acres of glebe assigned to a parish of 1,000 acres; ninety, to a parish of 1 500 ; and one hundred and twenty to a parish of 2,000 From the acn able contents of the county were deducted the termon lands, containing 3,147 acres, which it was intended to annex to the see; the bishop's mensal lands, 60 acres; the Incumbents' glebes, 2,060 acres; and the monastic lands, amounting to 1,375 acres. After these deductions were made, there remained 26,795 acres to be distributed among the undertakers, still leaving an overplus of 2,790 acres: of which 937 were equally divided among the three corporate towns of Lisgoole, Castleskeagh, and one to be erected between Lisgoole and Ballyshannon. 1,228 were given to Dublin College, and 625 for the maintenance of a free school at Lisgoole. King James also directed that six advowsons in this county should be granted to the University.

1804 Chancellorship — The parishes of Currin, Drumkrin, Aghahog, Killeevan, and Drumsnatt, were united and appropriated, time out of mind, as the corps of the chancellorship: they have however been separated by successive acts of council; , the last was in this ytar, and it constitutes the N.W. division of Drummully, part of the parish of Galloon, which is made the new corps of the chancellorship, ut supra.

1806, Dromkrin — This parish divided by act of council into two parts, one of which was made a portion of the new corps of the chancellorship, the remaining part will, on the next avoidance, merge into and take the name of Drummully. ut supra

1812 Clones — ... The possessions of the corbes and herenachs in each diocese were granted by patent to the respective bishops; the patents clearly defined the advowsons they were to possess, and excepted by name those which the crown had reserved to its future disposal, in lieu of the landed possessions it had given to the hishops. A corbeship had existed at Clones before the reformation. The corbe, who was a prebendary in the cathedral church of Clogher, possessed the rectories of Clones, Clontibret, Monaghan. Tullycorbet and Drummully, each of which had a vicarage. At the settlement of Ulster, in order that the Irish might be assimilated to the English church, the corbes and herenachs ceased to exist as ecclesiastical persons, and their possessions vesting in the crown were assigned to the hishops. By the patent of 1609, these vicarages were united to the rectories; the bishop of Clogher acquired a right to present to the benefices not excepted by name; and, as Clones was not excepted, the hishop had an equal right to present to it without controversy, as to the other benefices which are mentioned to have belonged to the corbe.

Parl Gaz 1846:

DRUMMULLY, a parish, 4 miles west-southwest of Clones, and partly in the barony of Dartry, co. Monaghan, and partly in the barony of Coole, co. Fermanagh, Ulster. Previous to 1804, the parish consisted of two townlands of the glebes of Galloon or Old Drummully parish, yielding £235 7s. 8d. of rent, and two other townlands producing £19 of tithe composition; but, by Act of Council in that year, it was increased by the addition of 17 townlands producing £166, 3 of tithe composition, —both that tithe composition and the church of Drumkrin to be transferred to Drummully, and the latter to become the church of Drummully, on the death of the then incumbent of Drumkrin. See DRUMKRIN. Length of the parish from Gubduif to the end of Carra, 6 miles; breadth, from Staughanbridge to Ballyboo-bridge, 3 miles, and from Cole. man to Clanford, about 2; area, 5,515 acres, 2 roods, 5 perches. Pop., as the parish continued to be constituted in 1831, 667. Pop. of the Fermanagh seetion as legally though not then actually constituted, in 1831, 3,024. In the parliamentary documents, the former is given as the pop. of the ecclesiastical parish, and the latter as the pop. of the political parish.
