The Mullin Coat Of Arms Story
Read the intriguing transcription of the text illustrated on the Mullin family history parchment:
The name Mullan has many variations including Mullen and Mullin in Connaught, Mullane Add Mullins in Cork, Limerick and Clare, or McMullen from the original Scottish form. In Irish it is O’ Maolain, the derivation of which may be the Gaelic word 'maol' meaning bald. This gives some indication of the complexity of its history. Certainly in some cases it is an abbreviation of MacMullen, the Scottish surname of a considerable number of 17th century settlers. These immigrants settled In Ulster on land forfeited by its original tenants and were consequently known as ‘planters’ because they had been planted there. There are also a number of historic septs or clans of different origins. One sept of O' Mullan belong to Co. Galway; the ancestor from whom they take their name was Mullan, descendant of a King of the Province of Connaught. In Ulster another sept was associated with Tyrone and Derry. Writing in 1608 Sir Arthur Chichester, deputy of Ulster, mentions O' Mullane, as one of the most important groups under the O' Cahanes. Their most famous member was Shane Crosagh O' Mullan, a romantic brigand, who, having been evicted from his property round about 1729, led what has been called 'a fabulous Robin Hood type of existence' in the mountains. Like so many of their countrymen many Mullans crossed the Atlantic to the U.S.A. John Mullan (1830-1909), son of an Irish emigrant, became an explorer and pioneer. Dr. James Mullin (1846-1920) was a remarkable illustration diligence and struggle. He came from a very poor family and worked on a farm at the age of eleven. His education was entirely the result of his own efforts and he eventually became an M.D. and wrote many books.
