O'More, David, born around 1600-1630

[reventlow]

Hello,

I'm looking for David O'More of County Laois who was probably born around 1600-1630. He is said (according to Lodge's Peerage) to have been "of Portallen" but I have found no such locality in Southern Ireland let alone in County Laois. In any case, he left issue at least one daughter, Margaret O'More, who married Walter Tuite of Tuitestown (who was killed in the Williamite wars along with 11 of his sons and was attainted in 1691). Their surviving sons were Richard and Robert; both emigrated to the West Indies to settle as planters.

Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated.

No one with a bit of know-how on Irish midland families of the 1600's…? :-)

Best regards

Perhaps 'Port Allen' is Portarlington in Queen's Co. (Laois).
