Notes for Hugh Edward KINNEY

MC KINNEY, KENNEY Irish book of Arms plates 68, 96, 256, & 259
O'Cionnaoith, Mac Coinnigh, Kinnie, Kenney, Mc Kinney, O'Kinney:

The O'Kinney families of Ireland are found documented in our version of Keatings History of Ireland. According to O' Dungan, they were chiefs of Moy 1th. The name is as well, one of the 100 most numerous surnames in all of Ireland.
As might be expected there are several distinct origins for the name. Most often the family jails originally from the Galway?Roscommon area, as a sept of O'Cionnaoith of Hy Maine.
In the north, in the province of Ulster, the name is found more anciently in counties Tyrone and Down, and they may descend from the Irish family of O'Connie, but this is unproven.
The family name is found as a chief clan of Co. Louth (as Mac Kenny), and the Mac Kennys or Keaneys are found mentioned as numerous in Leitrim in more ancient times. Of the many spellings of the name, Kenney is linked most often with Co. Leitrim.
To Complicate matters some, the name is also one of the settler families from England. One English family from Somerset was owner of lands in Galway and Roscommon for some time as well as other unrelated Kinney's being in that area.
The birth index of 1890 finds the name of Mc Kinney listed with 42 births in the counties of Antrim and Tyrone.
