Biographies of Our Forefathers
HUGH TINNENY
H1
Hugh Tinneny was born on Goladuff in the latter half
of the 1700s. He was one of at least three children
of Thomas Tinneny. Hugh married and lived on
Goladuff where he and his wife had several children
including Bridget, Mary, Philip and John (Big
John). He and his family occupied what is referred
to as the home place. Although the house is
probably the same, the farm was much smaller when
Hugh had it. The Tithe Applotment Book for Drummully
for 1837 listed the home place as having 9 acres
instead of the 22 acres described in later years.
Hugh probably died in 1837 since the tax on his land
was paid in his name that year and there was a
penned-in notation that he was deceased. He was
probably buried with his father and subsequent
generations of Tinnenys at the Tinneny family plot
in Drummully Cemetery beneath the headstone that he
and his brother had erected when his father was
buried there in February 1807.
Hugh's descendants include
all Tinnenys from Philadelphia
and their Sickinger, McColgan, Hart, Klebes, McKenna and Yeakel descendants,
Murphy, Nolan, Toland,
McCavigan, Reilly, Castellano, Donaghue, Murray, Higgins, Smith,
