"To return to the descendants of Morogh na maor. The most remarkable of these 
was Edmund O'Flaherty, before-named', a man of great strength and stature, 
whose name, as Emuinn laidir, or "strong Ned," is to this day familiar in 
Iar-Connaught.



Tradition has handed down many wonderful narratives of his prowess and 
achievements. Among others, it relates that he had frequent rencounters with 
captain Richard Martin, who obtained several grants of the confiscated lands of 
the O'Flaherties, under the Act of Settlement, and that they generally fought 
on horseback, sword in hand; but that the latter, being continually surrounded 
by his followers, always escaped, while Emuinn laidir was often obliged to cut 
his way through them, to avoid being overpowered. He was first married to 
Mable, daughter of Brian oge na samthach, by whom he had a son, Edmund oge. 
Secondly, to Kate Martin, of Coslough in the county of Mayo, by whom he had 
three sons. "

Subject: [LegacyUG] Coslough, Ireland



I know this is off-topic, but maybe someone has a short answer to help me?



I have a person born 1798, died 1817, place given as Coslough, Ireland. Some of 
her relatives were in Wicklow.

Online searches find numerous lough's (= Scottish loch?) in Ireland. And a hint 
that the locality Coslough is in County Louth.

Confused!
