FindMyPast has an "outrage report" concerning the burning of a house in 1836 in Donaghmore, in which a Daniel McCorgary was the chief suspect having been ejected from the house some 18 years previously. So there is evidence of a similar name in use in Donaghmore.

Always read the source document and never trust a transcription. The event was in 1836 and Daniel McCorgary was suspected, having been ejected from the house some 18 years previously.
