From

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.

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.

born in 1799 in Tip:Barony Upper Ormond Parish Aghnamadle Village Toomavara. He
died in 1898.
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
OMeara
who departed this life the 31 of dec 1832 aged 68 Years. This stone is erected
in his by his

Patrick and John Omeara" . An Omeara still lives on the farm at Lorrha
which is but five mile from
the

Drumbane, Birr, County Offaly a
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.
