Tree # 8
As described in the Irish Research page, the tax records of 1666/7 Hearth showed a James Head at Rathdangin and by 1766, an Edm Head was in the village of Killusty in the parish of Kiltinan, Fethard. He is probably a descendant of the family in Rathdrangin in 1666.
Killusty is in the Fethard parish and is to the South East of Fethard as shown in the parish map above and the map below:
This family posts section focuses on the families in the parishes of Fethard and Killusty. It includes Boolagh and Cappadrummin. These two parishes are underlined in blue in the first map. The map at the top of the page includes places highlighted in yellow that are discussed in the Drangan page.
In the Tithe records of the 1828 there was:
- Michael Heade at Cappadroma (by Kiltinan). This townland is also known as Cappadrummin. He farmed 3 acres owned by James Hacket.
By the time of the Griffiths in 1850, there was:
- Michael Hade in Cashel St, Fethard.
In the early 1800s, when the Catholic parish records began, the following families were in the Fethard and Killusty parish area:
- Patrick and Judith Daniel at Boolagh and Cappadrummin. Michael is clearly the son of the Patrick who was in the 1828 Tithe records. They should also have been in the Griffiths there is no sign of them although the valuation records show they were at Kiltinan until at least the 1860s.
- Michael and Anne Sweeney at Cashel Street in Fethard. Which is clearly the Michael in the Griffiths record.
- John and Ellen Began (place unknown). There is no sign of this family in the Tithe, Griffiths or subsequent valuation records.
Patrick b 1816 and Judith Daniel
Patrick mar as Hayde in 1840. He died Kiltinan in 1886 aged 70 (b 1816). They had:
- Lawrence Hayde b 1840 Boolagh
- Mary Hayde b 1842 Cappadrummin
- Michael Hade b 1844
- John Hade b 1847
- Ellen Hade b 1849. Mar St John 1879
- Timothy Hade b 1854
- Bridget Hade b 1856
- John Hayde b 1858
- Catherine Hayde b 1858
- Mary Haid b 1860
Patrick is most likely a descendant of the families who were in Killusty in 1766. Apart from the marriage of Ellen in 1879, and the death of Patrick in 1886, there is no further references to this family in the civil or parish records.
Michael and Anne Sweeney
They were at Cashel Road in Fethard in 1850 and in the parish records were the baptisms of:
- Judith Hayde b 1835 d 1870
- Mary Hade b 1837
- William Hade b 1839
- Patrick Hayde b 1841
- Lawrence Hayde b 1843
- Alice Hade b 1846
Michael was clearly the Michael Hade in the 1850 Griffiths. In the valuation records he was in Cashel Street until the 1860s and the Green. A Thomas Hayde took over the property in the 1860s. In the 1890s, a daughter Judith was a neighbour.
He is presumably descended from families who were in Killusty who moved to the town.
John and Ellen Bergan.
They married as Heade in 1826 and had:
- John Hayde b 1826. John probably joined the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) and settled in Naas, Kildare. Descendants are mainly in Dublin although some emigrated to America. This tree is covered further in the Naas page.
Without knowing where he lived it is hard to know from where he was descended. I have assumed he is descended from the Killusty families.

The DNA of a descendant does not match that of any other families so more testing is required to confirm linkages.
