Quill Family

[Dulaigh]

Some of the Quills were in Knocknagoshel parish associated with Curtins Tooreenard/ -a stones throw from Duagh parish- in the 1800's. The origins of  Quill is from Wood and there was a big write up about them in a specialist publication I saw in Castleisland Library last year July/August.
You could phone or email them. Some of them were well connected.

The Woods' origins were associated with Limerick whence to N. Kerry. 10 statute miles in those times would be approximately  200 metres today. 40 or 50 miles was a journey to a local County town including driving cattle to the fair or attending a sports meeting. The social division between the estates and Houses of Limerick and the mountains of Kerry can also be explained.

I've since found that Christopher Julian of Tullamore House held his lands from Sir John Benn-Walsh, as did the Guerins and Ellen (Quill) in Dirrindaff in Duagh. This may be the connection.
