The Mannings of Haggard, Glenmore [Descendent David A. McTamaney, email of 17 Feb. 2023]
The following is the research of David A. McTamaney, of New York. David noted that in early records Manning was often spelled as Mangan or Manion.
Bartholomew Manning (b. 1815) in Haggard and his wife Ellen Hearn, from Waterford, raised their family in Haggard, Glenmore. The family consisted of 7 known children.
1.0 Mary Manning (b. 1843) was the eldest. At age 22 she and her younger brother John Manning emmigrated to New York, arriving in 1866. In 1874 she married Hugh McTamaney, a recent widower with a three year old son. Hugh and Mary had seven children together. Hugh McTamaney and his first wife, Jane McKeon, were from Portglenone and Ballymacpeake in Northern, Ireland. Jane emigrated in 1868 and within a year was dead from T.B. Hugh was a shoemaker.
In the 1860’s and 1870’s, travel from New York City meant travel by boat, and Newburgh is the first deep port 60 miles up the Hudson from New York City for the steamboats of the day to safely land. David does not believe that Mary & her brother John Manning had any sort of sponsors or relatives in Newburgh to encourage them to come there.
2.0 John Manning (1845-1879) returned to Ireland and married Ellen Grant in Ullid, Kilkenny on 13 Oct 1868. In 1873 they emigrated to Newburgh, New York and moved in with Hugh & Mary McTamaney. John & Ellen Manning had six children—their oldest Bartholomew was 11 when he fell six stories while working in the Newburgh Cotton Mill alongside his mother—and survived. John Manning died in 1879, leaving Ellen with six children, the eldest 11 years old. They all grew up and had families in the USA.
3.0 Martin Manning was born in Kilmakevoge. He married Ellen Murphy, of Kearneybay, Glenmore. Martin & Ellen Manning had six children. Their daughter Mary Manning married Michael Ryan of Kearneybay.
4.0 James Manning (1852-1917) was born in Haggard and emigrated to Newburgh, New York in 1886. He married Johanna Roche (1858-1947) the daughter of Patrick Roche and Mary Powers. James & Johanna Manning ran a grocery store and saloon and did well. They raised three children.
5.0 Patrick Manning (1855-?) was born in Haggard. He married Ellen Barry, of Carrigcloney, Glenmore. [Editor’s note: My father-in-law Tom Walsh (1908-1992) told me that he was good friends with Jack Walsh one of the sons of Ellen Manning née Barry and her second husband Peter Walsh. Patrick went to the US and was to send home for his wife and 2 sons but was killed when the tongue of a wagon struck him in the chest. It was said that Patrick Manning went out to my great-grandfather, Richard T. Kennedy, a native of Rathinure, Glenmore who had a saloon and barrelhouse in Lafayette, IN. Unfortunately no record of his death was found in Lafayette. It was also said that the two Manning boys later emigrated to the U.S. and that Jack Walsh had a half brother Bartholomew “Batty” Manning who came home from the U.S. to visit him.]

John Mullally, of Davidstown, Glenmore [Article regarding death, New Ross Standard, Saturday, 15 October 1898]
Tragic Occurrence Near Glenmore–COLLAPSE OF A WELL. Davidstown, near Glenmore, in the county Kilkenny, was on Tuesday morning the scene of a tragic and extraordinary accident, the victim of which was John Mullaly, a farmer of middle age, and in comfortable circumstances. Mr. Mullaly, who had been in America, lived in a farm at Davidstown with his brother and three sisters.
On the premises there is an, open pump, commonly called a draw-well, and into this well by some mishap, a pig belonging to the Mullaly’s fell on Tuesday morning. John Mullaly volunteered to rescue the animal, and with this intention he dropped a ladder into the well, by which to descend. The top of the ladder, however, did not reach the water, and Mr Mullaly had to get down some feet as best he could. He effected the journey down all right—poor fellow—never to return alive. He found the pig swimming about nothing the worse for its immersion.
Catching hold of the animal, be commenced the journey up, but for some cause or other, when he got about half way up, the sides of the well collapsed, and closed over him, leaving him buried under about thirty tons of debris. It was just twelve at night before the body was recovered. It is alleged that deceased’s voice had been heard several times by the rescuing party in the early portion of the day, and if this statement is quite true death must indeed have been something dreadfully agonising in the poor fellow’s case. An inquest was held on Wednesday by Dr Walsh, coroner for South Kilkenny, when a verdict of death from accidental suffocation was returned.

MR. THOMAS MULLALLY, DAVIDSTOWN, GLENMORE. The death of Mr. Thos. Mullally, of Davidstown, Glenmore, which occurred unexpectedly last Sat., caused feelings of widespread sorrow in the district. Most industrious and hardworking, he was a most progressive farmer, and was a prominent member of the Glenmore Ploughing Match Committee. A fine judge of cattle, he was a successful competitor at agricultural shows, and was one of the prize-winners at the New Ross Show last year.
A man of kindly disposition, he commanded the respect of a very large circle of friends. He was a noted breeder of hunters, and his daughter, Maura, is familiar as a fine horsewoman, being a prize-winner at many horse-jumping competitions. Another daughter, Miss Josie Mullally is resident in America, and quite recently flew home on a visit to the family home. She returned on Friday and it will be a poignant blow to her to receive the news of her father’ s death, after leaving, him hale and hearty before her departure. She is highly esteemed in Irish-American circles at St. Louis, being a member of the Ladies’ Auxiliary there, of the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
The late Mr. Mallally was prominently identified with all patriotic National movements, and served with great credit inthe I.R.A. in the war against the Tans. In politics he was a supporter of Eamon de Valera and was Chairman of the Glenmore Cumann of Fianna Fail. To the widow, sons and daughters, the deepest sympathy is extended in their sad bereavement. Interment took place in Glenmore Cemetery Monday and there was a very large concourse of mourners, and other sympathisers of the family.
