       * The above family are lineal descendants of one of the seven McNeill Brothers who were forced t o flee their lands in Armagh, after refusing to renounce their Catholisism in favor of Henry's religion.  After fighting off the British for a period of time, they  were eventually outnumbered, and took flight to various parts of Ireland, where, to avoid capture, they changed their names.  Two of the brothers fled to the mountains of Leitrim, where they became "McGrail".  Other brothers went to Co. Monaghan where the name was changed to "McGrain"; while "McGreal" was the name taken by those who took refuge in Galway.
