McInerney Family, Tullyglass, Ballyguiltenane & Tullyleague, Glin By George Langan.

1.Patrick1 McInerney corn circa 1750 in Co. Clare who, to the best of our knowledge, married my ancestor Katherine Kate Langan. Kate was born circa 1760 and died circa 1840 at Tullyglass, Glin. Thomas F. Culhane (Lawney) has made reference to this in the book, Home Thoughts from Abroad page 95. The McInerney’s got the nickname of the ‘Brandy’ McInerney’s because of winning a prize of 5 pounds and a bottle of brandy put up by the Knight of Glin for swimming across the River Shannon from Clare to Glin. Patrick McInerney & Kate Langan had the following family –
