Funny how something seemingly miniscule explains how I associate with the universe, my heavenly father and who I am and was. This explains my recollection of facts that surely I could never workout without looking inside, at my own DNA, as the connections and my innate knowledge and exceptionally high and verified I.Q is to be remotely believed.. As such I believe that my yDNA is the same yDNA of Conn until present and through Cromwell's attempted genocide of the Irish Gael. Which we know was not quite so complete after all. My innate distaste for the English in particular at the start of the English protestant Reformation Kingdom wide. We remained loyal but still were removed which is why my atDNA reports I am more English than Irish.
So there are those of us that accepted and flourished under English Rule over Ireland. I am of the same. The attempted genocide by Cromwell of my lines becomes crystal clear once you wrap your head around the Ireland of the 1650s which lay destitute and in ruins. Twelve years of calamitous warfare had destroyed the country's infrastructure and resulted in the death of over 20% of the Irish population.
The armies of the English Commonwealth, commanded by Oliver Cromwell, emerged victorious and immediately undertook an ambitious project of social engineering, underpinned by a massive transfer in landownership from Irish Catholics to English Protestants. For this to happen, the land had to be accurately surveyed and mapped, a task overseen by the surgeon-general of the English army, William Petty.
The Down Surveys of Ireland
Taken in the years 1656-1658, the Down Survey of Ireland is the first ever detailed land survey on a national scale anywhere in the world. The survey sought to measure all the land to be forfeited by the Catholic Irish in order to facilitate its redistribution to Merchant Adventurers and English soldiers. Copies of these maps have survived in dozens of libraries and archives throughout Ireland and Britain, as well as in the National Library of France. This Project has brought together for the first time in over 300 years all the surviving maps, digitised them and made them available as a public online resource.

Laughlin Quin of Westmeath
I learned that on May 24, 1882 a Mary Quinn was born to unknown parentage in Rochfortbridge, which is of the same place under a new name. Mary went onto marry Michael Geraghty and bore to the best of my knowledge 1 daughter and 1 son as they are so named in the 1911 Westmeath Census.
Names the residents of house 4 in Oldtown (Castlelost, Westmeath)
SURNAME, FORENAME, AGE, SEX, RELATION TO HEAD, RELIGION
Geraghty Michael 30 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic
Geraghty Mary 29 Female Wife Roman Catholic
Geraghty Kathleen 3 Female Daughter Roman Catholic
Geraghty Michel 2 Male Son Roman Catholic
Geraghty Catherine 68 Female Mother Roman Catholic
Mary Geraghty died 20 Dec 1943 in Oldtown, County Westmeath, Ireland at the age of 61.
Her headstone has been since updated and reads as follows:
In Loving Memory of Michael Geraghty Oldtown died 15th March 1941. His wife Mary died 20th Dec 1943, their sons Reverend Andrew died 16th April 1940. Patrick died 16th Dec 1953
Kieran died 11th Jan 1929. James died 10th Jan 1982. Their daughter Sister Mary Regina died 2nd July 1952
Median Roman Catholic Church Cemetery
Tyrrellpass, County Westmeath, Ireland
I have no atDNA links to Geraghty for any of the variations Gerrity, Gerty, Gerighty, Gerighaty, Gerety, Gerahty, Garraty, Geraty, Jerety, McGerity, MacGeraghty, MacGartie, MacGarty…
Conclusion
I believe this Laughlin Quin is locatable through a marriage license issued in 1654 by St. Michan’s Church, north of the Liffey, Dublin between Laughlin Quin and Juane Brian. The church dates back to the 5th century and until the 1530’s was a Pre-Reformation Catholic Church. Today it is a Church of Ireland Church. The Martin Family and last Royal Governor of the Province of North Carolina along with his brothers, cousins and kinsmen are also found in the same records of St. Michans during the period before and after the date given.
On January 16, 1683 at St. Audoen’s Roman Catholic Church, Dublin we find Laughlin Quin is buried there and is listed as poor man. This church is not to be confused with the Church of Ireland church of the same name very closely.
