______________________________________________________________________ Name: Casserly, McCasserly, Casserley, Mac Cassarly, Cassely. i.e Mac CasarlaighCasserly Family nameHistory. The surname Casserly is an Anglicized version of the Gaelic surname Mac Casarlaigh and came into existence when the use of Gaelic was forbidden by the Anglo - Normans who came to Ireland in the twelfth century. The "Mac" meaning "son of" was dropped and it is as Casserly that the name has survived into this century. The surname is most numerous in the County Roscommon and the adjoining County's Galway, Weastmeath, Longford, etc. Contrary to popular belief, Casserly is not connected to the name Costello. The confusion arises because one of the variants of Costello is Cassily and some of the Roscommon Casserly's have dropped the "r" over the centuries and are known as Cassely's.The name originated over 800 years ago near the Elphin - Rathcroghan district of North-Centeral Co.Roscommon. They were probably minior chieftains in the ancient territory known as the Uí Briuin which was made up of the MacDermott's as princes of the northen area,the O'Kellys as the princes in the south Roscommon and east Galway (Uí Maine) and the O'Connor Don and Rua as kings of both territorys.Mac "Cas"arlaigh - Cas - Curl/Twisted, curly-haired or twisted meaning "Son of the one with Curly-hair". Originated from the personal name "Casarlach", Appears in many surnames.There is no Coat of Arms available - These were drawn up by the Chief herald on application of the various clans.Early references of this surname include one Cu Mumhan Mac Casarlaigh is mentioned in the "Annal's of the Four Masters" who was one of the main Connacht chiefs in the thirtenth Century who lead and fought under the O'Connors, who were allies of Edward De Bruce brother of Robert De Bruce king of Scotland at the battle of Athenry (Galway) in 1249, wich the Irish forces were routed and defeated by the Anglo-Normans (English). Cu Mumhan himself was slain. A Casserly was also a Cannon of Tuam county Galway in 1462. Casserlys were known to have fought at the battle of Aughrim (Galway) 1691 and was another defeat for the Catholic Irish Jacobite Army against the Williamite Army. Battle of Athenry: "Annals of the Four Masters"1249 A.D. - An army was led by the Roydamnas heirs presumptive of Connaught, namely, Turlough and Hugh, two sons of Hugh, the son of Cathal Crovderg, to Athenry, on Lady Day in mid-autumn, to burn and plunder it. The sheriff of Connaught was in the town before them, with a great number of the English. The English demanded a truce for that day from the sons of the King of Connaught, in honour of the Blessed virgin Mary, it being her festival day; but this they did not obtain from them; and although Turlough forbade his troops to assault the town, the chiefs of the army would not consent, but determined to make the attack, in spite of him. When Jordan and the English saw this, they marched out of the town, armed and clad in mail, against the Irish army. The youths of the latter army, on seeing them drawn up in battle array, were seized with fear and dismay, so that they were routed; and this was through the miracles of the Blessed Virgin Mary, on whose festival they had refused to grant the truce demanded from them. Of their chiefs were here killed Hugh, son of Hugh O'Conor; Dermot Roe, son of Cormac O'Melaghlin, the two sons of O'Kelly; Brian an Doire, the son of Manus; Carragh Inshiubhail, son of Niall O'Conor; Boethius Mac Egan; the two sons of Loughlin O'Conor; Donnell, son of Cormac Mac Dermot;Finnanach Mac Branan; Cu Mumhan Mac Casserly, and others besides. Other notable Casserlys include Sen. Eugene Casserly, democraticSenator for California in the 1870's was the son ofPatrick Casserly who was born in Mullingar Co. Westmeath - he emigrated to New York in the 1820s and was a notable classical scholar. Lt. Col. Gordon Casserly of the Indian Army, who fought with the allied expeditionary forces in China in 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion and trained Irish volunteers in 1914 and was born James Henry Casserly in Dublin in 1869 (son of James Casserly of Estersnow, Co. Roscommon).He played on the first rugby schools senior cup winning team (Blackrock College) in Lansdowne Road in 1887 and scored 2 tries and also wrote quite a few books. A John Casserly is listed as an owner of a coffee plantation in St. Andrews,Charlottenburg in Jamaica in 1898. Casserlys still live in Jamiaca today. Many Casserlys also emigrated to NZ, Argentina, Australia and US after the famine. Amongst the Casserlys who fought in the First World War were:WILLIAM A. CASSERLY, Lieutenant in Minster Fusileers killed on the Somme in 1917,THOMAS CASSERLY, Royal Engineers, (son of James and Mary Casserly Dublin)killed near Arras in 1918THOMAS CASSERLY, Royal Engineers, born Kilkenny, veteran of the campaign in Salonika and later one of the first Superintendants of the Gardai Siochana.PETER CASSERLY, 2nd Australian Light Railway Operating Company: Casserly, like many, lied about his age to enlist in 1917. He wrote a letter to his mother at Fremantle, put it in a bottle and threw it over the side of the ship. The bottle washed up on Mandurah beach andthe letter was delivered. Casserly saw action as a sapper supporting British and Australian forces on the Western Front, in the Ypres, Armentières and Amiens areas. Afterwards, he worked on the wharves, ona ship and as a fisherman beforeopening his ownwood yard. He was one of the longest surviving WW1 veterans in Australia.Closer to home, PATRICK CASSERLY was a lieutenat in Irish Army 1922-1923 and in charge of Railway Repair Protection and MaintainanceCorp in Cork during Civil War. ______________________________________________________________________Please if you have anything eles you know that I have left out or that I have that is incorrect please follow it up with this message.

The "Mac" meaning "son of" : was dropped and it is as Casserly that the name has survived : into this century. The surname is most numerous in the County : Roscommon and the adjoining County's Galway, Weastmeath, : Longford, etc. Contrary to popular belief, Casserly is not : connected to the name Costello. The confusion arises because : one of the variants of Costello is Cassily and some of the : Roscommon Casserly's have dropped the "r" over the centuries : and are known as Cassely's.: The name originated over 800 years ago near the Elphin - Rathcroghan district of North-Centeral Co.Roscommon. : They were probably minior chieftains in the ancient territory known as the Uí Briuin which was made up of the MacDermott's as princes of the northen area,the O'Kellys as the princes in the south Roscommon and east Galway (Uí Maine) and the O'Connor Don and Rua as kings of both territorys.: Mac "Cas"arlaigh - Cas - Curl/Twisted, curly-haired or twisted : meaning "Son of the one with Curly-hair". Originated from the : personal name "Casarlach", Appears in many surnames.: There is no Coat of Arms available - These were drawn up by the : Chief herald on application of the various clans.: Early references of this surname include one Cu Mumhan : Mac Casarlaigh is mentioned in the "Annal's of the Four Masters" : who was one of the main Connacht chiefs in the thirtenth Century : who lead and fought under the O'Connors, who were allies of : Edward De Bruce brother of Robert De Bruce king of Scotland at : the battle of Athenry (Galway) in 1249, wich the Irish forces : were routed and defeated by the Anglo-Normans (English). : Cu Mumhan himself was slain. A Casserly was also a Cannon of : Tuam county Galway in 1462. : Casserlys were known to have fought at the battle of Aughrim : (Galway) 1691 and was another defeat for the Catholic Irish Jacobite Army against the Williamite Army.: : Battle of Athenry: "Annals of the Four Masters": 1249 A.D. - An army was led by the Roydamnas heirs presumptive : of Connaught, namely, Turlough and Hugh, two sons of Hugh, the : son of Cathal Crovderg, to Athenry, on Lady Day in mid-autumn, : to burn and plunder it. The sheriff of Connaught was in the : town before them, with a great number of the English. The : English demanded a truce for that day from the sons of the : King of Connaught, in honour of the Blessed virgin Mary, it : being her festival day; but this they did not obtain from : them; and although Turlough forbade his troops to assault the : town, the chiefs of the army would not consent, but determined : to make the attack, in spite of him. When Jordan and the English : saw this, they marched out of the town, armed and clad in mail, : against the Irish army. The youths of the latter army, on : seeing them drawn up in battle array, were seized with fear : and dismay, so that they were routed; and this was through the : miracles of the Blessed Virgin Mary, on whose festival they : had refused to grant the truce demanded from them. Of their : chiefs were here killed Hugh, son of Hugh O'Conor; Dermot Roe, : son of Cormac O'Melaghlin, the two sons of O'Kelly; Brian an : Doire, the son of Manus; Carragh Inshiubhail, son of Niall : O'Conor; Boethius Mac Egan; the two sons of Loughlin O'Conor; : Donnell, son of Cormac Mac Dermot;Finnanach Mac Branan; : Cu Mumhan Mac Casserly, and others besides. :
