Surname: Muirhily

Note: Muirhily" (also spelled Murlihy, Murtlihy) is not a separate name Randal held at another point in his life — it is the Cork-Irish spelling of the surname otherwise anglicized as "Hurley," from Ó Muirthile. Both forms refer to the same family name; sources use one or the other depending on whether they are writing in an Irish-language/phonetic register or an English-administrative one.

Both forms refer to the same family name; sources use one or the other depending on whether they are writing in an Irish-language/phonetic register or an English-administrative one.

This spelling is drawn from the reading of the initials "R.M." carved with the date 1585 and the initials "C.C." in a window recess on the top floor of Ballinacarriga Castle, Co. Cork. The standard modern reading (Heritage Ireland, Dunmanway Historical Association, and others) takes R.M. as Randal Muirhily/Hurley and C.C. as his wife, Catherine O'Cullane.

Attribution to this specific individual (Randal Oge, d. c. 1631) rather than his father Ranell Hurley senior (d. before 1615) is probable but not proven: it rests on the July 1584 pardon naming "Randal oge Hurley of Ballinacarriga castle" a year before the carving, and on the 1634 Spanish Santiago genealogy independently confirming a Randal Hurley + Catherine O'Cullane couple of Ballinacarriga in this generation. No record directly names either man in connection with the carving itself.

Birth	estimated 1555 25 Ballinacarriga, Ballymoney, County Cork, Ireland Note: No direct record gives a birth date or place. This year is a rough ESTIMATE, reasoned as follows: he was already active and named "of Ballinacarriga castle" in a July 1584 pardon (so an adult, likely 25+, by then); his father Ranell Hurley senior died before 1615 leaving Randal Oge "of full age and married" to inherit (1631 Bandonbridge inquisition); and his daughter Isabel (m. Denis O'Driscoll of Castlehaven) had a son old enough to be knighted in 1634. Placing his birth c.1555 is consistent with all of this but is not attested in any source.

Marriage	Catherine O'Cullane — View this family 1579 (aged 24 years) Ballinacarriga, Ballymoney, County Cork, Ireland Source: Genealogy of Don Dermicio O'Driscoll, Order of Santiago, 1634 (Hurley of Ballinacarriga maternal line) Note: This 1634 genealogy (Genealogía) for Don Demisío Odríscol (O'Driscoll) represents the initial step in a grueling, multi-layered background check required to enter the prestigious Order of Santiago. This 1634 genealogy (Genealogía) for Don Demisío Odríscol (O'Driscoll) represents the initial step in a grueling, multi-layered background check required to enter the prestigious Order of Santiago. Because the applicant was an Irish émigré, the Spanish administrative machinery had to adapt its strict vetting system to verify nobility across borders. The Intensity of the Spanish Inquisitorial Process: To ensure an applicant was worthy of knighthood, the Council of Military Orders did not simply take written documents like this at face value. They executed a process characterized by extreme scrutiny: The Información de Limpieza de Sangre (Purity of Blood): The primary objective was to prove the candidate possessed no trace of Jewish, Muslim, or heretical (Protestant) ancestry up to their grandparents, alongside proving hidalguía (noble status). For an Irishman, proving absolute devotion to Catholicism and a lack of heretical taint was paramount. Secret On-Site Investigations (Probanzas): Once a petition like this was filed, the Order would typically dispatch two trusted commissioners (investigators) directly to the candidate's hometowns. In Spain, they would secretly interview dozens of local witnesses, neighbors, priests, and elders asking if the family ever engaged in manual trade (which disqualified them from nobility), if they were universally respected, and if their lineage was clean. Cross-Border Vetting: For Irish applicants, the Crown relied heavily on the testimonies of high-ranking Irish exiles already established in Spain, the reports of Irish colleges (like those in Salamanca or Santiago de Compostela), and secret correspondence sent to contacts still on the ground in Ireland to verify the family's true standing before they fled. Reliability Framework for the Historian: High Legal Threshold: The fact that this document survived the initial vetting stage and was officially processed into the court records by a notary (signed here by Gregorio de Tapia) indicates that the preliminary claims of lineage successfully met Spain’s rigid legal standards of form. The Incentive to Verify: Because a single hidden merchant or non-Catholic in a family tree could permanently disgrace a military order, the Spanish bureaucracy spent immense institutional wealth verifying these specific pages. Therefore, documents that successfully passed through this pipeline represent some of the most rigorously cross-examined genealogical records of the early modern world. 1634 Genealogy Record: Dermot O'Driscoll, Order of Santiago

Date is an ESTIMATE: she was married by May 1601 (fiant 6515) and her son Dermicio was 34 in 1634 (born c.1600), so she was probably born c.1575-1585.

Property	The Castle of Ballinecarrigg, als Bealanecarrigeh (& 2 ploughlands in Ardea Qr.) December 19, 1615 Ballinacarriga, Ballymoney, Carbury, Co. Cork, Ireland Note: Carbery (Irish Cairbre) was a large Gaelic lordship/territory in the far southwest of Co. Cork, stretching roughly from Kinsale west to Mizen Head and Cape Clear, had been assigned to Sir James Sempill of Beltries for a planned plantation. Rather than displace the existing landholders, Sempill sold his rights to them directly. Florence McDonell Cartie of Banduff and Ranell Oge Hurley received an assignment from Sempill by deed dated 28 Jan 1614/15. On the strength of it, they surrendered their existing claims to the crown on 16 Dec 1615, and the crown regranted the same lands back to them three days later, 19 Dec 1615, to hold in perpetual freehold "as of the Castle of Dublin, by fealty." This surrender-and-regrant was the standard mechanism of the period for converting Gaelic tenure into title secure under English law.

This surrender-and-regrant was the standard mechanism of the period for converting Gaelic tenure into title secure under English law. The regrant restructured, not merely confirmed, the holdings: marginal marks split the lands into two new manors — the Manor of Banduff (McCartie's) and the Manor of Ballinacarriga (Hurley's) — each with 1,000 acres demesne, power to create tenures, and a Court Baron. A further body of land in the same patent was granted to both men jointly but assigned to neither manor. Note: Like much of Gaelic Munster after the collapse of Gaelic lordship following the Nine Years' War (ended 1603) and the wider push toward English-style land tenure, Carbery's underlying superior title had passed into the crown's hands to grant out.

That is how it ended up assigned to a courtier like Sir James Sempill in the first place, for him to then sell on to the people, like McCartie and Hurley, who were already living there and farming it.

Later pardons (8 Dec 1631; 3 Dec 1632; 1 Mar 1632/33; 29 May 1633) for the O'Crowley and Hurley conveyances of July 1614 still name "Ranell oge Hurley", after his death - either as grantee of record or for his heir of the same name.
Death	before September 16, 1631 (aged 76 years) Ballinacarriga, Ballymoney, County Cork, Ireland Source: Inquisition No. 241, Bandonbridge, 16 September 1631 (Ranell Hurley of Ballinacarriga) Note: Date/place from the inquisition taken at Bandonbridge, Co. Cork, 16 Sep 1631 (no. 241), which finds that Ranell Oge Hurley - having inherited Ballinacarriga from his father Ranell Hurley senior and taken the 19 Dec 1615 patent - "died so seized". Date/place from the inquisition taken at Bandonbridge, Co. Cork, 16 Sep 1631 (no. 241), which finds that Ranell Oge Hurley - having inherited Ballinacarriga from his father Ranell Hurley senior and taken the 19 Dec 1615 patent - "died so seized". The passage naming his own heir and heir's age is defaced in the surviving manuscript copy. His exact death date is not given, only that it was before this inquisition (16 Sep 1631).
Note	Randal Oge Hurley's parentage is disputed. Bennett's Bandon history and local tradition make him "son of Thomas Hurly of Knocklong," but this is doubted: no contemporary record links a Thomas Hurly of Knocklong to Ballinacarriga, and the 1631 Bandonbridge inquisition instead names his father as Ranell Hurley senior (d. before 1615), from whom he inherited the manor. Oral tradition naming his mother as Mary O'Crowley (echoed in the Collins/O'Crowley pedigree material, JCHAS 1952) is likely a generational mix-up with a later Hurley-O'Crowley marriage. The MacCarthy Glas pedigree (1867) preserves the family tradition that Randal Oge built or completed Ballinacarriga Castle and married a wealthy O'Cullane (Colan) heiress "an oir" (of the gold), consistent with the panel dated 1585 in a top-floor window recess, carved "R.M. C.C." (Randal Muirhily, Catherine Cullinane). Bennett also records the folklore of the tally-stick and "seven sons," none independently verifiable. Treat the Knocklong-origin story and the "seven sons" folklore as unproven family tradition rather than established fact.
Note	THE "EIGHT RANDAL OGES" TRADITION (researched Oct 2026). MacCarthy Glas (1867) wrote that the Hurleys of Ballinacarriga had "an unbroken succession from A.D. 1530 to 1740, of no fewer than eight Randal Oges", the heir being called "Oge" during his father's lifetime. He cites no records; the statement describes a family naming custom rather than a traced pedigree. Four generations are documented and entered in this tree: Ranell Hurley senior (est. b. c.1530, d. before 1615); Ranell (Randal) Oge, the 1615 patentee (d. by 1631); his son and heir Randal "Oge Beg" (named 1601-02, outlawed 1642); and the heir's son Randal Oge (castle holder 1641, outlawed 1642). This covers roughly 1530 to the 1640s and agrees with the first half of the tradition. The later generations (1642-1740) have not been traced. After the 1642 outlawries and the Cromwellian and Restoration grants the family held no land, so the land records that document the earlier Randals stop. Catholic registers for the area begin after 1800, and most wills and Chancery records of 1650-1740 were destroyed in 1922. Because every heir was a "Randal Oge", surviving references rarely say which one is meant. Leads still to be checked: the remarriage of Hellen FitzGerald (widow of Lord Kingsale, d. 1642) "with Randal Hurley of Beallana-Carigy" (Lodge); "Randal Oge Duff's son" in the 1641 Depositions; Jacobite army and outlawry lists; the father of Angelina Hurley (c.1700), wife of Cormac MacCarthy Glas; the unnamed later family in JCHAS 1906 pp. 78-79; the Registry of Deeds (from 1708); and diocesan will indexes. Later generations will be added only when a record names a father and son.
