(O) Cremin.
O Cruimin, Cremin in English, is exclusively
a west Munster surname;
almost all the families so called are
resident in Co. Kerry and Cork
or have recently migrated therefrom,
though in the 1659 census they
were more numberous in the Co Limerick
barony of Connelloe, which
adjoins these two counties. The
tradition is that they are a branch
o the MacCarthys, and in that connection
it is interesing to note that
in the Bantry district Matheson found
the name Cremin interchangeable
with MacCarthy.
In various 16th century records such as
the fiants and the "
Composition Book of Connacht' the name
MacCremon, MacKremin etc,
often appears in Co. Galway.
This, however must not be confused
with Cremin of Munster, being in fact
a clerk's misspelling of
MacRedmond, one of the many aliases of
the Burkes of Connacht
and still exant.

***************************************
FROM CORK COUNTY LIBRARY
'The families of Croimin or O Croimin are an ancient Cork family and were what we might describe as a church family in charge of Aghabullogue parish. Under ancient Irish Church Law which was in operation for many hundreds of years before the Anglo-Irish invasion of Ireland in the late 12th century and continued until the Reformation in the 16th century, certain families were exempted from paying tribute to their chiefs on their maintaining the local church and its clergy. These families were called 'aircheannaig' (anglicized 'eireannachs'). The family of O Croimin provided many priests to the church at Aghabullogue before the Reformation. The family is still numberous in mid-Cork generally under the name Cremin but many variants occur. The traditional version of the MAC CARTHY CREMEEN family arises from the fact that the MacCarthys were very numerous in Cork County and in order to distinguish between them, it was - and still is - the practice to give the separate branches of the families nicknames. A certain MacCarthy who lived to the West of Bandon married a Cremin and the family were known as MAC CARTHY CREMEENS. There are still MACCARTHY CREMEEN families in West Cork. This family owned two castles one at Ballinascarthy and the other near Enniskeane. The remains of both are still to be seen. One member of the family was hanged in Cork in 1650 by the Cromwellian forces and at the Cromwellian plantations, all the lands were forfeit."
Surnames of County Cork
by Tim Cadogan
IN HIS FREQUENTLY-CITED Special Report
on Surnames in Ireland (1909),
Robert E. Matheson published a list of
the 27 commonest surnames in County
Cork, based on their incidence in the
index of births for 1890. With
several exceptions (O'Brien, O'Connor,
O'Neill), these are all surnames of
County Cork 'origin', but it should be
noted that only 12 of the 27 do not
occur among the commonest surnames in
at least one other county. While
there has been no systematic modern study
undertaken on numerical
strengths, there is no evidence to suggest
that the surnames at the top of
Matheson's list have changed, but there
is crude evidence - based on column
inches in the Cork (021) telephone directory
- to suggest that changes have
occurred in the order below the top three.
A different perspective on Cork surnames
is provided by Diarmuid
O'Murchadha in his authoritative Family
Names of County Cork (1985). In
setting out to provide essay-length sketches
of the history of County
Cork's principal families, O'Murchadha
focused on the families which
influenced Cork history in the early modern
period and whose history was
reflected in documentary sources. The
criteria for his selection of the 50
surnames treated in his study excluded
four of Matheson's top 27. On
grounds of origin, he excluded O'Brien,
O'Connor and O'Neill, and he
reluctantly was forced to exclude Kelleher
only because the surname lacks a
documented historical profile on a par
with other families included.
Matheson and O'Murchadha in combination
provide a list of 54 'Cork'
surnames, but even that list excludes
a plethora of surnames, both
indigenous to County Cork and relatively
numerous, e.g. Linehan, Horgan,
Lucey, Coakley, Dennehy, Deasy, Keohane
and Minihane to mention but a few.
At a further level of incidence, Matheson
identifies 16 surnames which
appear in the 1890 birth index for County
Cork only. Many of these are
surnames that provided the minimum five
entries in the 1890 index, thus
meriting inclusion in Matheson's principal
list of surnames in Ireland.
These Cork-only names include Anglin,
Bransfield, Dullea, Lordan,
Motherway, Santry - all surnames that
are still extant and flourishing in
County Cork.
Origins
The historic origins and movements of
many of the principal Cork family
names is conjectural, but, perhaps surprisingly,
several of the most
numerous are relative latecomers to County
Cork. The MacCarthys, the
O'Sullivans and the O'Callaghans, all
of Eoghanacht Caisil stock, migrated
southwards into Counties Cork and Kerry
in pre-Norman times, ousted from
their original lands in Counties Tipperary
and Limerick by the aggression
of the Dál Cais. The O'Donovans
similarly were displaced from what is now
County Limerick and by the thirteenth
century had re-established themselves
in West Cork. The Crowleys, believed to
be originally of Connaught origin,
were likewise late arrivals, who carved
out a territory in the Dunmanway
area of West Cork. The MacSweeneys, gallowglass
or professional soldiers,
were introduced from the north by the
MacCarthys as late as the fifteenth
century. From longer established tribal
groupings in County Cork, such as
the Corca Laidhe, the Muscraighe and the
Eoghanachts of the Cork region,
emerged such family names as O'Driscoll,
O'Leary, Cronin; Murphy; O'Mahony
and O'Keeffe, respectively.
The invasions of Norsemen and of Normans
and the plantations of both
Elizabethan and Cromwellian times are
also represented in the mosaic of
County Cork surnames. Cotter (from MacOitir,
'son of Ottir') is now the
only family name of Viking origin numerous
in County Cork. The Coppingers,
for centuries a significant force in Cork
history, and also of Norse
origin, are no longer numerous in County
Cork. The Norman influence is
significant however. Walsh, Barry, and
Fitzgerald all feature in Matheson's
list of most numerous surnames and, other
Norman surnames such as Roche,
Condon, Barrett, Nagle and Cogan could
not be excluded from the roll-call
of Cork names. Though the sixteenth and
seventeenth century plantations
have added great variety to the range
of Cork family names, only one such
surname - Kingston - can be considered
very numerous in the county.
Nonetheless, surnames such as Good, Beamish,
Swanton, Sweetnam, and Shannon
are still common among the farming communities
of south-west Cork.
Rarities
The decline, disappearance and survival
of some of the more uncommon Cork
surnames is an interesting study. Skiddy,
a surname of Norse origin,
prominent in Cork municipal office up
to the seventeenth century and
reduced to three persons in Griffith's
Valuation (c.1850), now appears to
be extinct in County Cork. Hungerford,
of plantation stock from the
seventeenth century and respectably represented
in Griffith's Valuation
with 25 entries, appears, nonetheless,
to be now extinct in the county
also. Likewise, Lavallin, notable seventeenth
century land owners and still
represented by eight entries in Griffith's,
c.1850; Notter, a surname still
prominent in the Mizen Peninsula in the
late nineteenth century, but
extinct in the county since the death
some years ago of local historian and
genealogist Isaac Nash Notter; and Shipsey,
a prominent name in 'Carbery's
Hundred Isles' in the early twentieth
century, though this latter surname
and family still survive in Ireland. Shipsey,
incidentally, is given a most
original, probably apocryphal, derivation,
according to West Cork
tradition.
The first Shipsey, the story goes, was
a shipwrecked foreign sailor, whose
only intelligible words to his rescuers
were 'ship, sea'.
Conversely, some uncommon Cork surnames
survive where others have
disappeared. Northridge, of West Cork
seventeenth century plantation
origin, identified by Matheson as occurring
in Cork only, appears to be as
numerous today as it was in 1850, when
it merited ten entries in the
Primary Valuation returns. The exotic
sounding Shinkwin, deriving from the
English name Jenkin according to MacLysaght,
appears to be in decline from
its nineteenth century level, but is still,
happily, extant in Cork.
Incidentally, all 16 of the surnames identified
by Matheson as occurring in
Cork only in the 1890 birth indexes are
still extant in County Cork and in
most cases have spread further afield
as a result of twentieth century job
mobility and internal migration.
Geographical Distribution
The geographical distribution of family
names in County Cork as late as the
mid-nineteenth century (as evidenced in
Griffith's) and to some degree up
to the present day, is influenced by the
historical territorial boundaries
of the families. From a practical genealogical
viewpoint, however, several
of the commoner Cork surnames, are, and
have been for generations, too
widespread in the county to make any generalisations.
However, O'Sullivan
and Harrington are still strongly represented
in Beara, where they were the
dominant surnames in the last century;
O'Donovan, O'Driscoll and O'Mahony,
more widely spread nowadays, were core
West Cork surnames in the nineteenth
century. Herlihy and MacSweeney are associated
with the mid-Cork Lee
Valley, while O'Callaghan, Roche, Nagle,
MacAuliffe and O'Keeffe are
resonant of North and North East Cork.
Barry and Cotter, though widely
distributed, have strong associations
with the barony of Barrymore in east
Cork. The less common Cork surnames, however,
have strong geographical
connotations. Cadogan invariably has its
roots firmly on the West Cork
coast around the Ilen estuary. Verling
is synonymous with the barony of
Barrymore and specifically the Cobh area.
Nyhan is native to East Carbery,
where the great majority of Lordans will
also find their ancestral roots.
Garde, Loughlin and Sliney are surnames
that immediately suggest the barony
of Imokilly in east Cork. The tendency
to become more widely spread over
the county and further afield is less
marked in these less common surnames,
which even today retain a very strong
regional, even parochial connotation.
Secondary Surnames
The division of families such as MacCarthy,
O'Donovan, etc., into branches
was a common and well-established feature
of the more prominent families.
Thus, among the MacCarthys there were
the McCarthy Mor, Muskerry and Reagh
branches, while the main branches of the
O'Donovans were Clan Cathail and
Clan Lochlainn. However, at a level below
this formal division, the use of
various nicknames was adopted to distinguish
different families in an area
where the surname might be very common.
Peadar O'Donovan on his Irish
Family Names (1991) identifies 34 nicknames
or secondary surnames used by
the O'Donovans in West Cork. In Jeremiah
O'Donovan Rossa's Recollections
(1898; 1972) in 'A Chapter on Genealogy',
occurs the following passage: 'My
great-grandfather Donnacha Rossa was married
to Sheela ni Illean - Julia
O'Donovan-Island. They had six sons. Those
six sons married into the
following families: Dan's wife, an O'Mahony-Baan
of Shounlarach; John's
wife, a Callanan of East Carberry; Den's
wife a McCarthy-Meening of East
Carberry; Conn's wife, an O'Sullivan Bua'aig;
Jer's wife (my grandmother),
an O'Donovan-Baaid ...'
Many of these secondary surnames appear
in records such as the Primary
Valuation and survive in local usage today.
Some of them eventually - or
temporarily - replaced the principal surname.
The surname Mountain
occurring in Griffith's Valuation in the
barony of Carbery is an agnomen
for O'Donovan or MacCarthy; Crimmeen or
Cremin in the same area is a
MacCarthy agnomen, occasionally becoming
the adopted surname. The West Cork
surname Whooley is an example of an O'Driscoll
agnomen that established
itself as a surname. The practice of using
these secondary names seems to
have been more common in the western part
of County Cork than elsewhere.

Ohio River for 40 miles. It was named for Christopher Greenup, who was
born in Virginia in 1750, fought in the wars against Indians, and
was a colonel in the Revolutionary War. He was prominent in the orgainization
of the district of Kentucky, was a member of the first congress, Clerk
of the Senate, and became Governor of Kentucky in 1804.
Early settlers came to Greenup County
either by the Ohio River or overland by horseback and wagons. When they
reached their destination there were no good roads anywhere. Even in the
dry season travel was rough going. The first passable road was probably
from the Big Sandy River down the Ohio. Shortly after the county was organized
a road was laid off from Greenupsburg, the county seat, down the Ohio River
to a line across from the mouth of the Big Scioto River in Ohio. The present
highway practically follows the old road. When the many furnaces from the
area were in operation the roads near them were improved by using the slag
from the furnace on them. Streams were either forded or crossed by crude
bridges constructed for temporary use. Later, wooden bridges wer built,
and some of the covered ones are still in use. The Ohio River played an
important part in the early transportation and settlement of Greenup County.
The first travel on the Ohio River was by canoes which brought hunters
and adventurers; but when settlers came, they wanted to bring their possessions
with them, so rafts came into use. The rafts soon gave way to the flatboats,
large enough to accomodate several families with the household necessities,
and with shelter against the sun and rain. These were the boats that brought
the pioneer settlers to Greenup. After the flatboats came the keelboats
which were one step in advance because they could be poled or rowed back
up stream instead of being sold at New Orleans. Another type of boat seen
on the river about 1825 was the storeboat coming from Pittsburgh loaded
with merchandise which called at the settlements to sell and trade with
the people. When the steamboats came they carried passengers and freight,
and the towboats carried large cargoes of different products.
The following is taken from an early account
of the county's resources as contained in Collin's History of Kentucky:
Greenup county is rich in mineral resources,
the iron ore being of a superior character and seemingly inexhaustible.
Coal is also found in abundance. the hills are covered with timber and
the water power is not excelled in the state.
