O'Higgins of Ballynary

O'Higgins Ó hUigin is a clan which claims descent from Cenél Fiachach a branch of the Southern Uí Néill. The Clan were initially settled in the ancient Kingdoms of Brega and Mide before a branch migrated in the 12th century to Connacht. Principal seats were established in Westmeath at Kilbeg and in Sligo at Dooghorne, Monteige, and Ballynary.
