An Early-Seventeenth-Century
Deed of Conveyance from County Clare
by Luke McInerney
This paper prints a land deed from 1614. The deed is of interest chiefly because of the involvement of members of the Gaelic learned families of Meic Fhlannchadha and Uí Mhaoilchonaire. The paper begins by presenting a background to the establishment of English legal authority in Co. Clare. This is followed by a commentary on the deed and a transcription of it. This article was first published in the North Munster Antiquarian Journal vol. 54, 2014, pp. 73-80. Clare County Library is grateful to Luke McInerney for donating this article.
