Miscellaneous

• (O) FERGUS, Ferris, Ferguson
  • The name Ó Farghuis or Ó Fearghusa takes several forms in English. Apart from Farrissy, which today occurs only occasionally, the two usual forms are Fergus and Ferris. Fergus or O'Fergus is seldom found outside Connacht. Persons so called, who are mainly in Co. Mayo at the present time, are of the sept of Ó Fearghuis, which provided hereditary physicians to the O'Malleys. Knox in his History of Mayo tells us that O'Fergus held the parish of Burrishoole in 1303 and ranked then as a minor chief, a status no longer obtaining in 1585, since they do not figure in the Composition Book of Connacht, though it is known the Strafford Survey that they were still considerable landholders in Burrishoole and.Carra about the year 1635. In that document the name is spelt Farregish, Faregesie and O'Farressie, while in the Mayo Book of Survey & Distribution, compiled some 50 years later, it occured as often as O'Farrissy. It was in the northern end of that county, adjacent to Co. Sligo, that Pendar's "census" shows them, as O'Fergussa, most numerous in 1659. [More Irish Families, Edward MacLysaght, 1960, p. 107]
