Old maps of South Carolina show towns called Carroll, Kelly, Powers, Darraughs, Gaffney, Maybinton, Moore, Higgins, O'Neal, Sullivans, Maddens, McCarter, Rileys, Hibernia, Belfast & Coleraine. There was also a place named the Irish Settlement or Ireland at Fair Forest, near Cedar Springs SC.

I found a number of Brennans in Land Records;
James Brannan 1770, Hard Labor Creek, Granville County
Edward Brannan 1771 Buffalo Creek, Granville County
Thomas Brannan 1771 Cedar Creek, Craven County
Eugine Brannan 1772 Log Creek, Turkey Creek, Granville County
Robert Brannan 1773 Kings Creek, Craven County
Edward Brannan 1775 Belfast Township, Granville County
Thomas Brannan 1793 Buckhead Creek, Charleston District
John Brannan 1812 Petition for Payment for building of a Courthouse in Abbeville District

All these are indexed records. I would love to know more about these Brannan families. Does anyone have a place of origin in Ireland or are you a descendant who has taken a DNA test and would be willing to compare results on gedmatch.com
If you can help, a comment below will not publish your email address but it will be visible to me and I can get back to you. Many thanks, Martine

John Brennan's life came to abrupt end Nov. 11th 1916 when he died in France in service in the Leinster Regiment in the British Army. He was survived by his wife Mary Anne Duncan Brennan. John Brennan married Mary Anne Duncan in St Catherine's RC Church in South Dublin in 1894. John's father was Patrick Brennan, a carpet layer and Mary's father was Edward Duncan, a stoker. Mary Anne Duncan was born in 1872 at Marrowbone Lane, Dublin, daughter of Edward Duncan & Ellen Merry.
John and Mary Anne's children were;

Mary born 1896, family resident at 7 Brown St.
Margaret born 1898, family resident in Brab? St.
Patrick born 1899, address illegible
Ellen born 1901, family resident 138 Francis St.
John Leo born 1903, family resident in Brewery lane
Kathleen born 1907, family resident 30 Chamber Street
Anne Harriet born 1910,

By 1911, the family had moved yet again to Cork St., off Merchant's Quay where all 8 of them were living in one room. Clearly they were one of the many Dublin families of the time who had no security of tenure in their rented rooms. Mary Anne had given birth to 8 children by then of whom 6 were still living. Mary the eldest of their 6 surviving children was aged 15 and working as a factory girl. John Brennan, her father was a general labourer.

Mary Ellen Brennan married Peter McDonnell, a van driver, at St. Andrew's RC Church in 1917 just 10 short months before her father's death.
Mary Anne's widow's pension was awarded in May 1917. She applied for an allowance for her children Ellen, John Leo, Kathleen & Ann Harriet which implies that they were still unmarried at the time. She was refused an allowance for Ellen because Ellen was over the age of 16.
​All the above information was gleaned from Mary Anne Brennan's Widow's pension Form.

In the US Federal Census 1870, place of birth was recorded for the first time. I decided to search on ancestry today for all people recorded as having been born in Ireland (exact) and resident in a named State (exact). A word of caution here, the numbers are not always entirely accurate depending on search engine capability, the literacy of the enumerator, the accuracy of the transcription or indeed the report given by our ancestors to the enumerator. However, this list does give us some idea of the scale of the research necessary if we have been told that our ancestor settled in such and such a State. 
A further word of caution for those researching the Brennan name, many Irish people were not literate in the English language and I have found many phonetic spellings for the name Brennan, some of them very amusing. The highest concentration of the Brennan family name in 1870, (According to ancestry) was in New York with 1,319 followed by Pennsylvania with 377.

The Guild of One Name Studies sent me an email lately which told me of a website that I did not know about before. The website is for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
A search for the Brennan family name gave me 462 results.
343 who served with the United Kingdom Forces
64 with the Australian Forces
12 with the New Zealand Forces
40 with the Canadian Forces
3 with the South African Forces

6 of the records are for soldiers commemorated in Ireland
Francis A Brennan Service Number 25244 of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers died 1916
John Brennan Service Number 9952 of the Royal Irish Regiment died 1916
John Brennan Service Number 27864 of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers died 1918
John Brennan Service Number 24999 of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers died 1918
Moses Brennan Seaman of the Merchant Navy died 1940
Thomas Joseph Brennan Service Number 1835395 of the Royal Artillery died 1941

Moses Brennan is such an unusual name that I couldn't help but do a quick search to see if I could find him.
I found a Moses Brennan, son of Edward Brennan and Kate Roche born on March 7th, 1898 at Trimmer's Lane, Wexford. In the 1901 Census Moses aged 3 was living with his parents Edward & Catherine and siblings, Patrick, Edward (Moses twin), and Katie. Moses uncle John is recorded as a sailor. By 1911, Moss mother is recorded as having birthed 10 children of whom only 5 are living.
In 1922, Moses, occupation Sailor, married Alice Doran of Scholar Street., Wexford.

I recently discovered a genetic cousin via Autosomal DNA testing whose Irish roots are in the name Gahan. My genetic cousin could be related to me on my maternal side but since we have to start somewhere I did a search of Brennan/Gahan marriages 1790-1863 on rootsireland.ie. (Civil Registration began in Ireland for Roman Catholics in 1864)
1790 Sept 19 Mooncoin Kilkenny John Gahan of Farrensarron Margaret Brennan of Farrensarron Wit. William Henebry & Richard Walsh & Thomas Dunphy
1792 Dec 11 Haggardstown, Co. Louth Thomas Brennan of Dundalk Ann McGahan of Priorlands Wit. Francis Richards & Jas Donely
1803 Jan 20 Killaveney, Co. Wicklow William Gahan Hester Brennan Wit. Francis Morton & John Gahan & Andrew Brennan
1824 Mar 2 Kilronan, Co. Roscommon James Guiheen Mary Brennan Wit. Thomas Guiheen & Celia Brennan
Note; since Celia is an uncommon name I searched for a Celia Brennan born in Kilronan. Found Celia born to Michael Brennan (could he be Mary Brennan's brother??) & Margaret Cooper 1840 Dec 28 ~~also Sara b 1835, Guy b 1837, Margaret b1847
1825 Feb 12 St. Canice's Co. Kilkenny Patrick Brennan Mary Gahan Wit. Nicholas Brennan & Nancy Ryan
1826 Nov 1 Clara, Co. Offaly Michael Brennan Jane Gahan
1834 Jan 23 Paulstown, Kilkenny James Brennan of Bornafea  Elizabeth Gahan of Bornafea Wit. Martin Brennan & John Gahan
1836 Nov 1 Paulstown, Kilkenny James Brennan of Goresbridge Margaret Gahan of Goresbridge Wit. Lawrence Murphy & Anastasia Bowe
1840 Mar 3 Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford Nicholas Gahan Margaret Brennan Wit. James Stapleton & Mary Leary
1848 Sept 11 Portarlington, Co. Laois Michael Brennan Bridget Gahan Wit. George & Eliza McDonald
1851 May 3 Ballymena, Co. Antrim Joseph Brennan Catherine McGahan Wit. Elizabeth Diamond & Anne Cronan
1863 Feb 17 St. Mullins, Co. Carlow Michael Brennan Anne Gahan Wit. Andrew Hickey & Elizabeth Doyle

If you have Brennan Gahan in your family tree I would be most grateful for further information particularly if your Gahan family have Tipperary roots.

On Dec. 9th 1864 Prior Brannan of Company A, 70th, US Colored Troops married Arrinda Adams of Thomas County, Georgia, in Natchez, Mississippi.
Prior was aged 28, born c 1836 and Arrinda aged 24, born c1840. Prior was described in his marriage certificate as Black, son of a Black mother and a Black father.  Arrinda was described as half White, her mother as three quarters White and her father as a quarter White.
Their witnesses were N S Hitchcock, Co. A, 70th, US Colored Troops &  Phineas Mixer, Ordained Minister.
