Timor Domini fons vitae
The Butlers of Bunnahow descend
from Sir Pyors (Pierce) Butler
(b. 1520) of Grallagh Cas. Co. Tipp. by his 2nd wife Lady Honora FitzGerald
dau. of James, l0th Earl of Desmond. Sir Pierce (he was knighted by Henry
VIII after the capture of Boulogne
1544) was. 2nd s of James, 9th Lord Dunbovne (by summons) by Lady Joan
Butler dau of Pierce 8th Earl of Ormonde. His eld. bro." James, 10th Lord
Dunboyne was cr. Baron Dunboyne by patent 1541 and is ancestor to the
present Lord Dunboyne, who is 26th Baron by summons and 17th bv Patent.
The first member of the family to settle in Co.
Clare was James Butler of Shranagoollen (transplanted 1657). From his eld.
s James descend the Butlers of Doon. Bunnahow and Walterstown. His 2nd son Sir Theobald
(Toby) Butler
Solicitor-General, temp. James II, was ancestor to the Butlers of Ballyline. (vide registered pedigree,
Ulster
Office, and Burke's Peerage : Dunboyne B).
-- The Irish Genealogist
Pierce Butler b. 1520 of Grallagh Castle
was also known as Wild Peter. The Dunboyne branch was the first of
the Irish Butler
families to use the name Peter instead of Piers or Pierce. Some of
them were also actually of Celtic origin being O'Briens rather than of Norman
origin as they were descended from William O'Brien who married his cousin
Catherine Butler daughter of Edmond Butler 8th Baron
Dunboyne. So now this is starting to make sense.
The O’Briens of Bansha, Co.
Tipp. are paternally O’Briens of the family of MacBrien Gonagh (Ui Cuanach)
or Coonagh. They acquired
the Bansha estate through the marriage of Morgan O’Brien of Ballyphilip,
Co. Limerick, with Catherine, dau. and co-heir of Capt.
Edward Butler of Bansha, a descendant of Piers fitzThomas, natural s. of
Thos., 10th Earl of Ormonde. (according to Sir Henry Blackall)
I believe more correctly,
Morgan O'Brien married Eleanor Butler Catherine's sister (Catherine married an Archer thus creating the family
of Archer-Butler) of
the same family (according to Lord Dunboyne) Thus, this begins the
family of the O'Brien-Butlers when in 1690 Murrough O'Brien Butler became
heir to Capt. Edward Butler's estate in Bansha.
O’Brien Pedigree
Brian [3] Boroimhe [Boru], the 175th Monarch of Ireland: a younger
son of Cineadh; b. 926, at Kincora, the royal seat of his ancestors; and

of Maolmora, King of Leinster: and relict of Aulaf, the Danish King of
Dublin, to whom she bore the celebrated

Brian had Donogh, the 176th Monarch of Ireland, who was the ancestor of
Plunkett, and of the O'Briens of Coonagh, in Limerick, and of Aherlow, in
Tipperary; and a daughter Sabh, who m. Cian, who is No. 109 on the "O'Mahony"
