    Katharine, daughter of Thomas Fitzgerald, of Co. Waterford, and widow of Richard Fitzdavy Barry, of Rahanisky Castle, near Cork, by whom he had a son, Owen Oge, unmarried at his fathers death.
    When Owen McTeige died in 1637 an inquisition was held into his lands. It was found that he died possessed of the Castles of Carrigaphooka and Drishane, with the lands of Coomelagane, Liseahane Glantane, Cloghboola, Lackybane, etc., and that Donagh McOwen, his eldest son and heir, was forty years of age.
    In the current number of the Journal of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society appears a remarkable article on this Donagh McOwen McCarthy, written by Mrs. Benedicta Wyse Power, descended from him through the McCarthy O'Leary family of Coomlegane, Millstreet. She states that he lived in Drishane Castle up to the year 1719, when he died there aged 122 years.
