HAUGHEY Family History
Kings of Ulster until the end of the 12th Century, the chiefs of this great sept were held in high esteem, and their territory lay in the ancient district of Oriel, (Counties Armagh and Monaghan), and in the Donegal-Fermanagh area. The city of Armagh over which the Haugheys once held sway is the ancient seat of the High Kings of Ulster and the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland for some 1500 years. The name, with variants Haffey, (Armagh); Hoy, (Antrim), and the rarer (O) Hoey, is an Anglicized form of the old Gaelic O' Eachaidh. The Gaelic prefix "O" indicates "male descendant of", plus the personal byname Eachaidh, "Horseman", a derivative of "each", horse...Select Audience

My family always insisted that the Scottish crest for Hoy (a unicorn rampant with background dโor and red lion of martyrdom at the top holding a cross)**

Charles Cooney-Hoye
I grew up always seeing the Scottish arms of Hoy (though weโve spelled Hoye since migrating to Canada and then down through to the Midwestern US) but from what Iโve been obsessively reading recently โand the fact that my family always insisted that crest wasnโt entirely correct; that we were Irish before Scottish and the actual crest of the older/original family was differentโ in laymanโs terms for a newcomer: could anyone explain to me to intermixing of the Irish and and the Scottish Haughey/Hoy/Hoey/Hoye families? All I can gather is that they appear at least some 400 years earlier in Ireland than they ever do in Scotland. And having always been told we were of Northern Ireland, and knowing The Ulster-Scots intermingling, am i right to guess that that likely just happened somewhere down the line? Whatโs the story for my at least relatives in the Haughey family :)

Michael Haughey emigrated from Northern Ireland, we think County Derry, in the late 1840s and settled briefly in Philadelphia where in 1850 he married Mary Ann Kane, also of an Irish family that emigrated first to New York and then to Philadelphia in the early 1800s. In the mid-1850s the Haugheys moved to Johnstown, Pennsylvania and Michael worked as both a farmer and a coal miner. Michael and Mary Ann had 13 children, of which six grew to adulthood. Michael died when he was hit by a train in 1886. Mary Ann died in 1889 probably from disease while she cared for victims of the Great Johnstown Flood of May 31, 1889.
