muster irish mullinahone 1848 famine emigration physical force
Later, in the 1840s the Great Famine caused many deaths in the parish, perhaps as high as 27% of the population between famine and emigration, in a decade. Locally there were attempts at physical force movements in 1848 and 1867, influenced by local writer and patriot Charles J. Kickham , Mullinahone's favourite son. Mullinahone (Muileann na hUamhan in Irish) is a village in County Tipperary, Ireland. The Irish Census of 2006 recorded the village as having a population of 372. Mullinahone is situated roughly half-way between Clonmel, the county town of South Tipperary, and Kilkenny City. Its most famous son was Charles Kickham (1828-1882), writer, balladeer and Fenian leader. He was born in the village and is buried in the parish cemetery. The name of Mullinahone appears first as a settlement in the records of the “Hearth Money Rolls” in the years 1665 to 1667 then spelled as Moninehoan. The “Hearth Money Rolls” were a rent or tax on houses in the post-Cromwellian period. It was entered as a village or settled area of nine 'cabbins' with hearths, that is, permanent structures, which were not very common then it appears after the wars of the time. Just across the river ( a tributary of the River Anner) was the main village of Killaghy, in what is now Fethard and Killaghy streets. Both were extensions of the worker/artisan settlements of Killaghy Castle and lands whose estate walls adjoin the modern town today. Killaghy has existed since the first lord of Killaghy or Compsey, named St Aubyn or Tobin, built his castle there in the 13th century. There is one earlier mention of Mullinahone as a place name. This is dated 1551 in the Calendar of Justiciary Rolls (State papers then), regarding Inquisitions or trials held there. This was possibly at the old 13th century Norman keep in present day Carrick St in Mullinahone townland. The Lord of Compsey was a James Tobin who was then (1551) Justiciar of County Tipperary. The Tobins were a Norman family.
