Overview

Along the fertile lowlands of northern Tipperary, the traces of a Gaelic lordship still mark the ground once held by the Hogans. From their territory in Lower Ormond, they governed the land between Lough Derg and the Silvermine Mountains, maintaining authority through judgment, alliance, and local standing over many generations. Recognized among the long established families of Munster, the Hogans preserved their position through adaptation and continuity. They sustained their place in northern Tipperary by maintaining ties to land, kinship, and community across centuries of change. The Great Famine of the 1840s altered their course but did not end their story. Departing from Limerick Harbour, Hogan families carried their name across the Atlantic. In American cities they established new lives in work, community, and public service. Drawing on medieval annals, estate papers, parish registers, and emigration records, Irish historian and genealogist Sean Kelly traces the Hogan journey from medieval Tipperary to modern America. Based on decades of archival research in Ireland and abroad, this work reconstructs a family history shaped by change and sustained across generations. For descendants and readers of Irish history alike, this book offers a grounded account of lineage, land, and endurance.
