Frank and Catherine (Murrin) McGonigle’s daughter, Mary McGonigle Tuttle, married Anthony “Tony” Mulloy. According to family lore, Tony worked as a jockey until breaking his leg riding a horse. Tony was single and his cousin, Mary McGonigle Tuttle, was sent over to help him recover. Mary and Tony fell in love and were married in Illinois.
Frank McGonigle and Kate Murrin lived in Killybegs before moving to America. Tony Mulloy’s parents were Anthony Mulloy and Mary Murrin. Mary Murrin’s parents were Patrick Murrin and Margaret Meehan of Belvidere, Illinois. We believe Mary McGonigle Tuttle and Tony Mulloy were related to each other through the Murrin connection. The elder Anthony Mulloy lived in Glenties, Innishkeel Civil Parish, County Donegal before moving to America.

Tithe Applotment Records
We have written about Irish tithe records previously. Irish genealogists consider these records as census substitutes because so few Irish census records exist prior to 1901. These tithes were assessed against all land owners and land leasers alike. It was a tax paid for upkeep of the Established Church of Ireland (Anglican), and was owed regardless of church membership. Many Irish resented this tax, and in the south many Irish quit paying tithes. Tithe Applotments were collected from 1824 to 1837. The records we found for Innishkeel Civil Parish are dated 1833
The following records are a subset of tithes recorded for this parish. The surnames below are associated with our own Smith family tree. Surnames highlighted include Mollay (Mulloy or Molloy) and McGonigle. Townland names below in some cases are ‘old spelling’. It was not until much later that spelling was standardized for Irish townlands.
