This McTiernan line originated with James McTernan and his son Hugh
McTernan, 1708--1784,
whose family originates from
the townland of Sweetwood, Co Leitrim. His brother James leased the
Leonagh townland in Co
Leitrim. Hugh's son, Hugh, 1760--1832, settled in
Mount
Allen,
Mountallen
townland, Kilronan parish, Barony of Boyle, CO Roscommon,
[PO is Drumshanbo, CO Leitrim] which originally was owned by and a seat
of power for
a branch of the O'Conors of Connacht [Sligo?] who were of the same clan
of O'Connors who were the past kings of all Ireland. Photo
of
Mount Allen At the time of his death in 1832, Hugh
either owned or leased 2360 acres in three counties. See the
chart below for all four family seats.
A pamphlet written in 1845 by James
MacTernan, 1805--1855, of the Mount Allen MacTernans who settle at Heapstown, Catholic parish
of Tawnagh, Kilmacallan civil parish, Barony of Tirerrill, PLU of
Boyle, Co. Sligo entitled "An Address to my Fellow
Countrymen", in which he claimed descent from Tiernan O'Rourke,
Prince of Breffni.
[Found by John C. McTernan]
It is written in Irish history, that the McTernans of
Bréifne
descend from either The O'Rourkes who were kings of Drumahaire, Co
Leitrim
or Tiernan, grandson of Turlough Mor O'Connor, past king of Ireland who
lived
in north Co Roscommon. The DNA test
that we MacTighernans are taking might prove this
or not, 1000 years later. Based on this DNA
test
it appears that we fall into 20 separate genetic groups.
The 135 MacTighernans are from around the world,
spread over 13 countries and 5 continents that would have
originated
from 20 different Clans or at least 20 different progenitors.
This family line via Rory MacTiernan's test is
a perfect
match to the genetic baseline of the T Group
in the
DNA test which is currently the largest group with 46 members. .
Heapstown townland is located in Kilmacallen parish, Tirerrill Barony, District Electoral Division of Lakeview, PLU of Sligo, Parliamentary Division of South Sligo, Co Sligo. Besides the main house of 14 rooms, the McTernan family owned three other houses that were rented out.

The townland of Lyonstown in Co Roscommon had a population of 16 in
1841,
28 in 1851, 8 in 1901 and 3 in 2001. One ringfort is located in
the
townland shown on the 1838 map. There is also a well called
Toberbride.
A long avenue of trees leads from the Derreenanarry road to what
once
must have been an important residence, Lyonstown House, now
disappeared.
The townland or Bridgecartron or both was called Cloonboyher in
the
"Book of Distribution". The landlord in 1858 was James
McTernan
(Reps). The McTernans lived in Heapstown but a member of the
family
may have lived in Lyonstown. The Synge Census gives Tady Lyons,
his
wife and five children as living in Cloonbiher in 1749. He had
four
servents and so may have been prominent enough to give his name to the
townland.
In the 1830's a Robert Lyons lived there acording to the Tithe
Applotment
Survey.
The Abbey of Creevelea has two grave markers for this family from Mount Allen, they are:
"This Monument was erected in the memory of Charles McTernan, -1829, by his father, Hugh McTernan [Jr] of Mount Allen, July 1829."
"Pray for the soul of Hugh McTernan [Jr], Esq. of Mount Allen, born 1760, who departed this life June 9, 1832, aged 72. Also, his daughter Elenora and his five sons: Hugh -1832, Bryan -1832, Charles -1829, John -1832 and Francis -1832, all of whom died young."
An interesting note is that the mid 1800 legal records for births
list both the Surname and the Standard names of the individuals. An
example
is the 1866 birth certificate for Maria Matilda [Marian Maud] McTernan
list
her surname as McTiernan but list Tiernan as the name under standard,
without the Mc. Likewise, her mother has O'Loughnan as her
surname and Loughnan as her standard name without the O'. It
appears that Loughnan was the maiden name of Captain Hugh McTernan's
mother as well as his wife's
surname. Based on the will of Hugh's dad, his wife was of the same
family as his mother and most likely Capt. Hugh's second cousin.
The son, James McTernan, 1805--1856, the 6th and only surviving son
of Hugh and Catherine of Mt. Allen suceeded to the extensive family
estates in four counties, Cavan, Leitrim, Roscommon and Sligo. In
1836, he married Maria Anne Loughlan, daughter of Nicholas Loughlan, JP
of Sion, Co Kilkenny by whome he had issue a son, Hugh and a daughter,
Helena. James was considered a gentleman of considerable wealth
and high station and took great pride in his ancestry publishing in
1845 a phamplet entitled, "An Address to my Fellow
Countrymen" claiming descent from Tiernan O'Rorke, the last
Prince of Breffni.
In his Ordnance Survey letters (Co Cavan) O'Donovan gives a
pedigree of this family. James McTernan was considered one of the
landed gentry of the area. In March 1846, Lord Leitrim of whom
history does not think very highly of who lived at his castle near
Lough
Rynn in south Leitrim organized a petition for public funding of an
ambitious project to link Lough Erne and the River Shannon. James
McTernan was one of the landed proprietors, magistrates and
residents of Co Leitrim to sign the petition.
James McTernan, 1805--1856, of Heapstown also was one to like a horse race as per John C. McTernan's paper on races in Co Sligo. Go to this web site and do a search on McTernan. http://www.rossespoint.com/racing.htm
James McTernan, 1805--1856, died in Kingstown, Barony of
Rathdown, Monkstown civil parish, Co Dublin and was buried in
Marlborough St. Chapel, Co Dublin. [This may now be St. Kevin's Chapel
next to St. Mary's Pro Cath.] Note: James and all his generation were
born in Mount Allen, Mountallen
townland Kilronan parish, Barony of Boyle, Co Roscommon,
[PO is Drumshanbo, Co Leitrim]. The parish of Kilronan has churches in
these townlands, Churchacres, Derreenavoggy, Glebe,
Villages of
Ballyfarnan and Keadew. James moved to Heapstown,
Co Sligo from Mount Allen, Co Roscommon. James' mother, Catherine
O'Connor [Dolan] was originally from Heapstown. James and his mother
survived
the 1832 Colora epidemic in Cos Leitrim and Sligo that killed the rest
of the family. They both then moved to Heapstown
and the family stayed in Heapstown for about 100 years more or
less. James' son, Captain Hugh MacTernan, 1837--1911, was from
Heapstown, Lyonstown and Mount Allen. Below is a drawing of the
Heapstown estate planned by James but built by Capt. Hugh.
James's daughter, Eleanor married a Patrick Henry. They had a daughter that lived on Mt Allen.
Based on past information from Alannah MacTiernan a descendent of
this family line, Henry James
MacTernan, 1876--1962, the son of Capt. Hugh Connell MacTernan, had a
sister and
a half brother. Henry's sister was Eleanor Mary Joan MacTernan. His
half
brother was the son of R.A. Fitzgerald and Mary Boland. Mary was from
Australia.
Trooper Henry James
MacTernan,
1876--1962, the son of Capt. Hugh Connell MacTernan born in Ennis, Co
Clare according to war records. May be listed in records with the
initial W. Henry joined the Imperial Yeomanry
[ South Irish Horse
Dublin ], 61st Company, 17th Battalion in 1900 and saw service in
South Africa. Service ID 11189. Henry received the
Queen's South
Africa Medal (QSA). The medal on left was awarded to Henry for his
service [in 4 campaigns] in the British
Army in Africa during the Boer War. It was a bar per campaign. Henry
hated the war- He apparently was horrified that they were shooting
Boers who were only armed with pitchforks. Henry's son, Hugh Murrough
MacTienan and his
family immigrated to Australia from Heapstown, Co Sligo in the late
1930s. The medal on left ws awarded to Henry for his service in
the British
Army in Africa during the Boer War. It was a bar per campaign. Henry
hated the war- he apparently was horrified that they were shooting
Boers who were only armed with pitchforks. Henry is in the T DNA
Group baseline due to his grandson,
Rory's doing the test.
Henry's son, Hugh Murrough
MacTienan
immigrated to Australia
in the late 1930s. Additionally, John C. McTernan, the Sligo / Leitrim
historical arthur, wrote that
the Heapstown estate was sold in the
1930s and the Hugh Murrough McTernan family
emigrated
to Australia. Hugh Murrough McTernan married Dorothy Leahy and had five
children. John
goes on to state that he believes that the Sheskin McTernans and the
Mt. Allen McTernans are related without saying how. Alannah
MacTiernan's information also supports this connection between the two
McTernans named Hugh, both born
in 1708. Additionally, John once mentioned to me that he remembered
reading
historical legal documents that inferred that the Constantine
McTernan family of Rockfield, Gortgarrigan, Cloonlogher parish,
Co Leitrim are also related to the Leonagh, Sheskin and Mt. Allen
McTernans. The Rockfield McTernan line are related to the
Heapstown McTernan via the maternal link through the O'Connor line and
most likely the male McTernan line also.
The Rockfield McTernan line below
as it appears to be. The family
male
line appears
to have died
out some time ago. Their family seat was in the townland of

Constantine McTernan, 1747--12-1830, married Mary Brady and
had 6 sons and 3 daughters
1. James McTernan, 1791--11-26-1873, the eldest son of Constantine
McTernan and Mary Brady who lived in Paris
for a
year then qualified as a surgeon in the Royal Navy. He was
eventially made Deputy Inspector General of Fleets & Hospitals and
died at his residence, Blackheath, [Kent] on the 26th November 1873, in
the 83rd year of his age. In 1813 [American War of 1812], in the
Dragon, commanded by Sir Robert Barry during the American wars, he saw
the various naval exploits in the Chesapeak Bay.
James McTernan was in the squadron which protected St. Helena during
-the residence there of Napoleon,
and was present on the island at the
death of that distinguished, but unfortunate monarch in 1821.

A graphical drawing of the layouts of the three counties, Leitrim, Sligo and Roscommon is at this site.
In the chart below I have inserted the earliest known ancestors for the Mount Allen and Heapstown line of the McTernan family. Alannah states that even while they lived in Heapstown it was Mt. Allen that was considered home for her family. None of us as yet appear to have a documented connection with the possible exception of Scott McTiernan from Australia, as his immigrant ancestor called his Australian home "Mount Allen". Hugh McTernan, 1708--1781, down below in the chart is the one that most likely built the Mount Allen house in the Mountallen townland, Co Roscommon [PO is Drumshanbo, Co Leitrim] in 1671.
According to the 1901 Irish
census, the
MacTiernan Heapstown House no
longer standing is off to the right of this photo and back from where
Leo
McTiernan is walking. It had 14 rooms and was in the Lakeview district
electoral
division. The building in the photo is the barn which years ago also
was
the dwelling for the farm workers. Leo McTiernan of Boston is walking
up the drive as his Great Grandfather might have done many years before
in the 1880s.
The letters written to the Sligo Champion newspaper by both Capt.
Hugh McTernan and his baliff Leo's
Great Grandfather are at this web site. http://mctiernan.com/letters.htm
The 1901 Irish census for Heapstown
list Captain Hugh MacTernan's,
1837--1911, family and six servants, a coachman, parlor maid, nursery
maid, governess, cook and game keeper.
The following is from Alannah MacTiernan: Captain Hugh was born at Mount Allen in 1838. He studied law and was called to the Bar at Kings Inns in 1863. He held a captaincy in the Leitrim Militia and took a prominent part in public affairs, holding the office of High Sheriff, Deputy Lieutenant and Justice of the Peace in his native county. He was also J.P. for Cos Sligo and Roscommon. On the occasion of his transfer as Resident Magistrate from Enniskillen, where he was noted for "his independence and impartiality, much to the dislike of the local Orangemen", to Castlerea he carried with him "the good will and esteem of the right thinking people of the community. He also served as R.M. in Ennis for a time.
Captain Hugh took a fairly active part in politics. He was one of the platform party at a rally in support of D. M. O'Connor in the County of Sligo election of 1868. Thirty years later, following the passing of the Local Government Act of 1898, he became a member of the first Co Sligo Council but resigned his seat the following year owing to ill health. After a chequered and distinguished career in the service of his country he died in April 1911, aged 73 years, and was buried in the family plot in Creevelea Abbey.
Captain Hugh had four sons. The eldest, Hugh Connell McTernan, held the rank of Lieutenant in the Leitrim Rifles. He owned extensive property in Leitrim and Roscommon and was a J.P. and Grand Juror in both counties. Unmarried, he died in October 1925, aged 61, from the effects of sunstroke received some months earlier while fishing on Lough Arrow.
After Hugh Connell's death in 1925 his younger brother, James N. McTernan succeeded to the estates. He was born in 1873 and was educated at Portora and C'?ngowes Wood. He was a J.P. and Grand Juror of counties Leitrim, Sligo and Roscommon. He died unmarried in March, 1938 and his passing heralded the end of the Mount Allen and Heapstown estates. The lands were subsequently taken over by the Land Commission and divided among the former tenants. Heapstown House was demolished and apart from the remains of the gateway and an outline of the once sheltered avenue, hardly a trace now remains of what was once a stately home.
The late Henry James McTernan, the youngest of Captain Hugh's sons was a lawyer by profession. He enjoyed an extensive practice in Dublin, Sligo and Athenry. He died in Dublin in September 1962, aged 86 years. He was survived by his son, Hugh Murrough McTernan, who was born in 1911, [died 1980]. This descendent of the Mount Allen and Heapstown family emigrated to Australia where he married a lady of property. In the1940s there was an outbreak of TB in the area which might have been the reason for the family leaving. Hugh resided with his wife and family in Victoria.
The 4th son, James Walter died in 1863.
Captain Hugh's family remained steadfastly Catholic even through the darkest days of the Penal Laws. During that period their land was held by the Earls of Lambert in trust. That trust was honoured when the laws were repealed. [end of Alannah's information]
Hugh McTernan, 1760--1832, reduced the rents on his land by 25%.
James McTernan, 1805--1856, built the new residence in Lyonstown in
1853. Connell Francis McTernan, 1864-1887, was a medical student at the
time of
his death. Capt Hugh was a judge or JP in Listowel, Co Kerry. His
daughter
Marian Maud McTernan, 1866-1875, died in Listowel, Barony of
Iraghticonnor,
Listowel parish, Co Derry while the family was living in
Ballyfarnon[?].
Captain Hugh ran into a bit of trouble when a gang of youths were
harrassing him. The proceeding from that court case at at

Scott McTiernan, his cousins David, Richard and Margaret Donoghoe, nee McTiernan of Australia descend from one of the McTernans in the previous chart above. Much of the recent information comes from Margaret Donoghoe, nee McTiernan who lives in Australia.

Ann Rynn? has checked the activity on the Griffith's Valuation sheets with the results below for the family of Henry.
In Aghafin there were 2 Henry families and 1 McTernan. Aghafin has 561 acres,in Co Roscommon, Barony of Boyle, civil parish of Kilronan, PLU of Boyle.
1, a--------Thomas Henry
15, a------James McTernan
17, a------Patrick Henry

On March 25, 1893 Catherine Henry, daughter of Patrick Henry married James Clancey, son of Martin Clancey. On the last activity I have on the Griffiths the Clancey items were changed to John Henry.
The notes below were done by Frank Tivnan on the Heapstown / Mountallen McTernans. Frank is helping Rev Father Henry Tonra, PP who is writing a history of the Ardcarne parish in north Co Roscommon. My notes not Frank's are in brackets [ ]
The Heapstown / Mountallen McTernans owned 532 acres in this [Ardcarne] parish, the whole of 3 different townlands, Derreenacoosan, Derreenadooey and Cornamucklagh.
James Nicolas Francis McTernan died March 26, 1936 or 1938.
Madam, The McDermot's mother was Margaret Frances Mary McTernan, [the granddaughter of Capt Hugh McTernan]
Margaret Frances was a daughter of Lady Jackson who was formerly Frances Mary McTernan of Heapstown House. [ the daughter of Capt. Hugh McTernan]
Hugh McTernan [ I believe this should be James, the only surviving son ] came from Mount Allen. He was the only survivor of his family as the rest died of TB in 1832. Hugh moved to Heapstown, [Co Sligo] from Mount Allen, [Co Roscommon] where he married Catherine Dolan (approx. 1798) [While Hugh did marry Catherine Dolan it was most likely his son, James that moved to Heapstown]. This McTernan family is buried in Creevelea Franciscan Abbey, Drumahaire, [except for James who is buried in the Marlborough St. Chapel, Co Dublin [Pro Cathedral] -- Dublin is different than Co Dublin-]
Lady Jackson's [Frances Mary McTernan] husband was a Protestant from Enniskillen. His name was Brig. Gen Sir Robert Melville Jackson. He was a lawyer, etc.
Margaret Frances Elinor Jackson married E. McDermot (a lawyer). They lived in Lillycombe, Porlock, Somerset [England]. Felicity McDermot is the youngest of her family (2 boys, 2 girls)
James McTernan, [Capt Hugh's father] the last of them, trained the choir and played the organ in Ballyrush Church.
James McTernan's [Capt Hugh's father] funeral (P.P. and Bishop)
Lady Jackson's [Frances Mary McTernan] father was Captain Hugh MacTernan who died in 1911. The last of the MacTernans, Hugh Murrough MacTiernan emigrated to Australia in the early 1940s where the family lives today.
James McTernan trained Tessie Nangle and used to take her to the big house for lessons in singing.
An auction took place in McTernan's house at Heapstown from Lord Dundas in 1941. Declan Lavin's father bought a book and a gun at the auction.
The McTernans bought the land in Heapstown from Lord Dundas in 1809 approx.
The McTernans were in Heapstown for just a hundred years, more or less.
Captain [Hugh] McTernan had Red Setter dogs (he bred them) and the Buckshot Chestnut breed of horse. Hugh's father, James McTernan is credited with inventing the breed known as the Buckshot Chestnut.
He [Capt McTernan?] was a great swimmer and once recovered the body of a drowned man from Lough Arrow
John Killoran of Ballfarnon and Ned Tighe bought McTernan's and later demolished the house [not sure if Heapstown, Co Sligo or in Lyonstown, Co Roscommon. Their house in Mount Allen is still standing and occupied]
John Killoran sold the McTernan lands to the Land Commission. Ned Tighe got a division of the land together with the mansion [most likely Heapstown]
Here below is the line of the O'Flanagans from Co Roscommon.
Stephen Woulfe-Flanagan's mother was named Woulfe. Her brother was a
very powerful man in Ireland by the name of Lord Chief Baron Woulfe.
Captain Hugh McTernan's daughter, Eleanor married Stephen and had 8 or
9 children.
There was a Michael McTernan from Birrirech Gray, Co Sligo or Binganagh, Barony of Corran, Drumrat Civil and Catholic parish, Boyle PLU, Co Sligo that was married to Susanna Kelley that may be somehow? connected to this McTernan line. This Michael may have been the man servant that James McTernan, 1805--1856, had with him when he died in Co Dublin.
The below McTernan families most likely are connected to this McTernan line from Heapstown, Co Sligo and Mount Allen , Co Roscommon
The McTernans from the townlands of Killavoggy and Friarstown , both in the Barony of Drumahaire, Catholic and civil parish of Killanummery, Manorhamilton PLU in Co Leitrim.
The McTernans from the townland of Sweetwoods, Upper and Lower, Killarga civil parish, Killargue Catholic parish, barony of Drumahaire, Co Leitrim See the end of this web page for outline.
Gwen Brendon's line may also be connected to the Heapstown line via the McTernans of Sweetwood Lower , in Co Leitrim
Turner Bluechel [ Click here to send E-mail to tbluechel@email.msn.com ] supplied the below data as he connects to the McTernan line at Heapstown through the Loughnan family.
Here is what I have found and how it relates to the Mt Allen / Heapstown / Lyonstown McTernan Family.
Connell Loughnan b 1733 married Anastasia Shee in 1772. The Loughnan family Seat was the townland of Crohill or Crowhill, Barony of Fassadinin, civil parish of Muckalee in Co Kilkenny. Crowhill means wood of wild garlic. They had numerous children but I will only mention three here:
From Gwen Brogdon [ Click here to send E-mail to gdbrogdon@aol.com ] as she sees it:
Catherine (married to his father Hugh McTernan, 1760-1832, from previous will extractions) is his mother.
Hugh McTernan of Sweetwoods, Co Leitrim is the same as Hugh of Heapstown, Co Sligo whose Will has the disposition of land in Sweetwoods and Kilavogy, Co Leitrim.
James McTernan dies in 1856 in Kingstown, Co Dublin, [Dublin is a different than Co Dublin] and is asked to be buried in the Marlborough St. Chapel. (From previous land records we know James McTernan was married to Mary [Marian] Loughnan, thus the direction to his two children, Hugh and Helena, not to marry the surnames of McTernan or Loughnan, or be disowned. I think the Mr. Loughnan is Mary's brother as mentioned in the marriage settlement)
His son, [Captain] Hugh, heir, yet unmarried and under age of 20.
His daughter, Eleanor, Helena in Latin, yet unmarried.
A Michael McTiernan of Heapstown is mentioned but no relationship is mentioned.
This is the end of Gwen's notes

Below is a summery of the original Will of James McTernan, 1805--1856, of the Mt Allen and Heapstown family.
James was the father of Capt Hugh McTernan. Gwen was nice enough to send it to me several years ago and I now just found it. It is 14 pages long and I have noted below what I think it says. If Gwen does not mind and you should want a hard copy please let me know and I will send you one.
Here is a description of the Will and Testament of James McTernan, 1805--1856 of Heapstown, Co Sligo where James has only 2 direct heirs, his son Capt. Hugh McTernan and his daughter Helena McTernan both unmarried as of 1856. James' mother, Catherine McTernan, nee O'Dolan who died in 1857 is still alive and will live about two years longer than James. Anastasia, 1839--, may be the third child of James.
It appears that James, like many of us really wanted grandchildren and since his two children, Capt Hugh and his daughter, Helena were still not married as of 1856 he left part of his estate to the children of Mary Anne McTernan, the wife of his servant Charles McTernan. Charles and Mary Anne were from the townland of Leonagh, Co Leitrim which was part of James McTernan's estate. A Patrick McTernan from Leonagh is buried at the foot of the high altar in the Abbey of Creevelea as is my McTernan line from Sheskin and this James McTernan, 1805--1856, from Heapstown, Co Sligo.
In 1856, Charles and Mary Anne McTernan from Leonagh had one son by the name of John McTernan. The Will stipulates that if they have another son and name him James that both upper Leonagh and lower Leonagh townlands were to be left to their yet unborn child whose name would have to be James McTernan. If no additional son, or one not named James then John is to receive both townlands as long as the 60 pounds per annum head tax is paid by them. On another Codicil to his Will, James left one acre of ground and a house to Charles McTernan his servant in the townland of Lyonstown, Co Roscommon.
James also stipulated that his son, Capt. Hugh McTernan would receive all the estate in Co Leitrim only if he married by 20 or 21 years of age. The future Capt. Hugh McTernan was about 19 years old at the time, talk about Paternal pressure. James also stipulated that the estate going to his two kids is nullified if they marry or live in the same house with any unmarried relative named McTernan or Loughnan. James' wife maiden name was Loughnan. Interesting to note that Capt Hugh McTernan married his 2nd cousin, Eleanor Loughnan two years later which violates this part of the Will.
Interesting to note is that there is no mention of his Mt. Allen family seat of power in Co. Roscommon specifically. This was the original family seat, the house was built in 1671.
Also, who is the Michael McTernan mentioned in James' Will that is left the two Kilduffs and the townland of Dawry, both in the Barony of Tullyhaw which is the Barony on the border of and right north of the Barony of Tullyhunco. James, in the Will does not say he is a brother or a nephew or a servant, just names Michael McTernan who lives in Heapstown and leaves the three townlands to him.
Estates in Co Leitrim went to his son, Capt Hugh McTernan. A Codicil on the will gave 1 acre and house to Charles McTernan, his servant who was from the townland of Leonagh, Co Leitrim, and the husband of Mary Anne McTernan mentioned above. The Lyonstown estate in Co Roscommon went to his daughter, Helena.
James' main line of succession was to his son, Capt Hugh McTernan, his daughter, Helena McTernan and then to a John McTernan and Anne McTernan the children of Anne Kelly. What the connection is between Anne Kelly and James McTernan, 1805--1856, is not known or why with a last name of Kelly her orphaned children have a surname of McTernan.
John McTernan, the son of Anne Kelly was also left Tullyvanagh a townland in Co Roscommon or in Co Monaghan. Anne Kelly's other child by the name of Mary McTernan was left the townland of Tullynacross in Co Leitrim.
The townland of Leonagh is now in the Catholic Parish of Creevelea. Back in time it was in the Catholic Parish of Killargue. Leonagh lies near Belhavel lake at the upper end of Killargue parish today and is a sub parish of Drumkeerin. [6-7-2001 letter from Padraic Cullen] photo
A Charles McTernan, 1835--, from the townland of Leonagh married Elizabeth McMorrow from Drumduffy, Killargue Parish on December 14, 1865, at the Chapel of Killargue. Charles McTernan's, 1835--, father was James McTernan. A John McTernan and John McMorrow were listed as witnesses at the wedding.
A Charles McTernan, 1835--, perhaps the one above, married a Anne McMorrow in 1880.
A Hugh McTernan, 1832--11-25-1913, perhaps (RIN 4567) Patrick's brother, was both a farmer and a National School teacher. Hugh died in the townland of Leonagh, Killarga civil Parish in 1913. His wife, Margaret Magillian and daughter, Amie McTernan, -->1913 were still living in the townland of Leonagh in 1913.
Elizabeth Lovett and James McTernan's Grand Aunt was married in the Chapel of Killargue in 1894, [most likely Elizabeth McTernan, nee O'Rourke (RIN 3766)].
Buried in the Abbey of Creevelea: Patrick McTernan, 1821--6-6-1883, (RIN 3772) from the Townland of Leonagh. Also his daughter, Elizabeth C. Flannery, nee McTernan, 7-23-1857--5-26-1895. Interred in Derry his son Francis McTernan, 1854--11-27-1910, also his daughter Beatrice Maud McTernan age 16 months, and Elizabeth McTernan, nee O'Rourke, wife of above? (Patrick?), and Patrick McTernan, 1830--6-3-1922. Erected in fond remembrance by Francis and James McTernan.
Hugh (RIN 4567), James (RIN 4556) and Charles (RIN 4486) are all from the townland of Leonagh. Martin (RIN 4485) was Hugh's (RIN 4555) father. As yet there is no connection of Hugh, James, Charles & Martin to Patrick, 1823--, (RIN 3723) with the exception that all of all of them come from Leonagh the townland of Mark & Betty and Gerald from Dublin.

Notes:
Leo McTiernan was able to find a web site dealing with events and the English settlers in North Roscommon at http://www.dur.ac.uk/~dss6mm/Tenisons.htm The following is the part that deals with Captain Hugh MacTernan. "In these days letters arrived in Carrick-on-Shannon from Dublin by Bianconnie Coach at 3.27 a.m. At 4.30 the post left Carrick for Leitrim, Keadue, Ballyfarnon, Dromahaire, Drumshanbo, Dowra, Drumkeerin, Killargue and Manorhamilton. The coach stopped at Church's Hotel and within 5 minutes 4 or 6 fresh horses already harnessed would replace the other horses. The most famous coachman employed by Bianconnie was McCloskey on the Sligo-Longford stage. The story is told that a passenger in the coach began to eat McCloskey's lunch - McCloskey in a voice that could be heard said to the footman, "There is enough poison in that food to kill all the rats that were eating the oats in Longford", whereupon the passenger became violently ill. The passenger was [Cpt. Hugh] MacTiernan whose family came from Mountallen and later from Heapstown."
