- Eamonn a Cnoic or Eamonn O'Ryan was born at Knockmahill, Upperchurch. His mother was one of the O'Dwyer clan. Eamonn was a splendid type of Tipperary man, brave, tall and handsome. He held the rank of Captain in the Irish Army and fought at the battle of Aughrim and Limerick under the command of Sarsfield.
