Omeara notes:

From "IRISH FAMILIES, Their Names, Arms and Origins" by Edward MacLysaght, D. Litt., M.R.I.A. Crown

Publishers, Inc., New York, Third Edition, Revised 1972

 

In Irish this name is O'Meadhra and both the spellings given above are used as the ordinary anglicized

form, O'Meara beng slightly more numerous than O'Mara. It is of interest to note that, while sixty years

ago the records show that less than one third of the people of the name used the prefix O, to-day it is

very rare in Ireland to find plain Mara or Meara, without it. The O'Mearas are now and always have been

Co. Tipperary people: they belong by origin to the north of that county, the centre of their territoy being

Toomevara, a place-name which embodies their surname--Tuaim ui Mheadhra in Irish. Dermod O'Meara,

physician and poet, author of the first medical work printed in Dublin (1619), his son Edmund O'Meara (d.

1680), another medical author, and Barry O'Meara (1786-1836), also a surgeon and author, famous for his

association with Napoleon at St. Helena, were all Tipperary men. Kathleen O'Meara (1839-1888), grand-

daughter of the last named, wrote many novels and biographies. Also of Tipperary stock were the brothers

Count Thomas O'Meara (1750-1819), Baron William O'Meara (1764-1818) and Col. Daniel O'Meara (b.

1764), all of whom had distinguished service in the Irish Brigades in France. In our own time the O'Mara's

of Limerick have been very prominent in the industrial and political activities of that city; and one of them,

Joseph O'Mara, was the founder and also the star of the well-known O'Mara Opera Company.

Of Lismisky, County Tipperary.

 

Arms: Gu. Three lions pass. Guard. In pale per pale or. and ar. a border az. Charged with eight escallops

of the last. Crest: A pelican vulning herself ppr. Motto : Opima Spolia.

 

DONAL O'MEARA had:

 

2. William, of Lismisky, county Tipperary, his son and heir, who had:

 

3. Teige, of Lismisky, gent., who d. 30th April, 1636, and was bur. In the Abbey of Clonmel. He m. Honora,

dau. of Robert Grace, of Corktown, co. Kilkenny, Esq., and had three sons and two daughters:

 

Daniel.

William.

Patrick.

Ellin.

Elan.

4. Daniel O'Meara: son of Teige.

 

This family derives its descent from Ailgeanan, the second son Turlogh, who is No. 98 on the "O'Brien

Kings of Thomond" pedigree. We find the O'Mearas settled in Ormond in very early times, whence a

branch of the tribe removed into Kilkenny, where they became hereditary physicians to the Butlers of the

16th and 17th centruies; and many of them were eminent literary men, and poets of no mean reputation.

 

The following were the possessions of the O'Mearas from the 12th to the close of the 16th century:-Hy-

Fathaidh and Hy-Niall, districts in the barony of Upper Ormond, in the county of Tipperary, thus mentioned

by Giolla-na-Neev O'Heering, who wrote in the 15th century:

 

"O'Meara, who is a good prince,

And chief of Hy-Fahy, obained extensive land;

And the Hy-Nialls of the race of Eoghan the fair-haired,

Are the lions of whom I treat."

Hy-Finach, otherwise Tuaim-ui-Mheara, or Toomavara, a district in Upper Ormond, adjoining Hy-Fahy and

Hy-Niall, co-extensive with the parish of Aghnamadle, and deriving its name from being the burial-place of

the O'Mearas-the word Uaim, signifying "a tomb," "a vault," or "place of interment;" Hy-Eochaidh Fion, a

district adjoining Hy-Niall on the south, and other estates in Ormond, also belonged to this sept.

 

In A.D. 1540, Teige O'Meara, the last prior of the hospital, founded at Nenagh, A.D. 1200, for Augustinian

canons, by Theobald FitzWalter, the founder of the house of Ormond, surrendered the same to the

Inquisitors of King Henry VIII., and it was given to Oliver Grace of Nenagh, at the annual rent of £39,

Irish money.

 

In A.D. 1541, 29th June, Donal O'Meara, "chief of his Nacion," obtained a grant of english liberty.

 

In 1745, William O'Meara, bishop of Clonfert, was translated to Killaloe; he died in 1762.

 

Many gentlemen of this name took service in the Irish Brigade (see also O'Meara's in France)(vide pp. 555-

6 of our Irish Landed Gentry); one of whom, a lieutenant in the battalion of Walsh, became a General of

Brigade in the French service, and Commandant of Dunkirk, as appears from the following correspondence

 

between that office and Frederick, Duke of York:

 

Letter from General of Brigade O'Meara, dated August 23rd.

 

"Citizen-President, I have the honour of addressing to you the subjoined copy of the summons just made

to me on the part of the Duke of York, with a copy of my reply.

 

(Signed)"O'Meara"

 

Head Quarters of the combined army before Dunkirk, August 23rd.

 

"Sir, I give you notice that the army I command is at your gates. Your city, destitute of any real defence,

can oppose no resistance to the victorious arms which I might instantly employ against it, if I did not wish

to prevent the total ruin of a flourishing city, and if humanity and generosity did not render me desirous of

sparing human blood. I, therefore, summon you, Sir, to surrender the city of Dunkirk to his Britannic

Majesty, before I employ against it the very considerable force at my disposal; apprising you, however,

that I will listen to any proposition you make, provided they may be such as are not injurious to the

consideration and the honour of the British arms, the interest of Great Britain, and those of her allies. I

give you twenty-four hours to deliberate on the summons.

 

(Signed), "Frederick, Duke of York.

 

"Commander of the combined army before Dunkirk."

 

Copy of the answer to the Summons:

 

"Dunkirk, August 23rd, 2nd year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.

 

"General, Invested with the confidence of the French Republic, I have received your summons to

surrender an important city. I answer by assuring you that I shall defend it with the brave Republicans

whom I have the honour to command.

 

(Signed)"O'Meara"

 

Amongst the writers of this family we may mention Dr. Dermod O'Meara, author of the Pathologia

Hereditaria Generalis, published in Dublin, 1619; and reprinted in London, 1665, and in Amsterdam, 1666.

This Dermod was a poet as well as a physician; he wrote some Latin pieces to Sir Walter Butler, of Kilcash,

grandfather of James, 12th earl, and 1st Marquis and Duke of Ormond.

 

Edmond, son of Dr. Dermod O'Meara, like his father, graduated at Oxford; he was the author of a work

entitled, Examen Diatribę Thoma Willisii de Febribus cui accesserunt Historię aliquot Medicinę Rariores,

published in London, 1665.

 

William, son of this Edmond, who flourished in the third quarter of the 17th century, wrote some Latin

verses, which were published with his father's works. With some degree of probability he was the O'Meara

mentioned in the following stanza, translated from the celebrated satire of Feardorcha ( or Ferdinand)

O'Daly, on Dr. Whalley, of Stephen's Green, Dublin:

 

"Where are the ready satiric Druids?

Where is O'Meara, the prince of the literati?

In forests are they? Or in mountain glens?

Or did they fall altogether at Aughrim?"

Footnote:

 

O'Meara: Dr. Barry Edward O'Meara, surgeon to Napoleon Bonaparte (see also O'Meara's in France) at St.

Helena, was born in Ireland in 1770, educated at Trinity College, and at an early age appointed Assistant-

Surgeon to the 62nd regiment. He served for some years in Sicily, Egypt, and Calabria. In consequence of

a duel, he as obliged to quit the army, but soon received an appointment in the navy. He was serving in

the Bellerophon, when on the 14th July, 1815, Napoleon surrendered himself on board of her. His

 

professional skill and knowledge of Italian gained the favour of the ex-Emperor, at whose request he was

sent with him to St. Helena, as his medical attendant. He died in London, 3rd June, 1836, aged 66.

 He opened the first post office in Navan in 1861 It is reported that the name for Navan was given by

Michael after a well known  Irish town of Navan (an uaimh) in the county Meath. The streets of Fairgreen

and Trim road are named after the streets in his home parish. the O'Meara septs are reputed to originate

from Upper Ormond, parish of Agnamadie in the village of Toomavara Tipp. They arrived in Canada in the

1835s (about the same time as the Kenny's and Maddens and settled in Longueil now known as L'Original.

Shortly thereafter they moved to toE 1/2  lot11 conc 7 in Cumberland. Catherine Omeara his daughter in

the 1901 census stated that the Kennys' arrived in 1835. There is a settlement of Omeara's in Cullumrkill,

Barony of Ormond Co. Longford Ireland and that is from where they left to emmigrate to Ireland. An

article written by J E Omeara (OGS FAMILIES Vol 17, no 1) concerning the Omeara's of the Upper Ottawa

states that the brothers Omeara came from Birr in Co. Offaly (then Kings Co.) Ireland. A part of the family

came from Tipperary and moved to Birr in 1827. These Omeara's are buried in the Church of Ireland

graveyard in Borrisokane. In that graveyard their is a memorial which reads "Here lies the body of James

large manor house built by William OMeara. It still carries the family crest (a pelican vulning itself proper)

on the gable of one side. How Michael (of Cumberland township ) is related to the Omeara's of  Perth and

the family in Bir is probably lost in the old church records in Ireland.
