These natives, although holding but small portions of land each, held them on the same tenures as the other more fortunate undertakers, i.e., as of the Castle of Dublin, in common socage; and subject to the Conditions generally of the Ulster Plantation. They got their Patents for the most part, A.D. 1610, but a few of them did not obtain them until the beginning of 1612.
* McBarron; We now would read this name: "Arte O'Neile, son of the Baron," (namely, Ferdorogh O'Neill, Baron of Dungannon, a son of Conn Bacchach O'Neill, Prince of Tyrone). And in No. 2 Grant we would read: "Henry O'Neale, son of Shane" (O'Neill). At the period of the Ulster Plantation, however, it was the custom to write the names of persons as in this and the following Returns.

*2 O'Neale: These three -- Hugh, Art, and Henry O'Neale were brothers; and sons of Sir Tirlagh McHenry O'Neill, of the Fewes.

   "From perusing the foregoing lists of Grants to the Native Irish in 
the Ulster Plantation, we find," says Hill, "that only a very few of 
them in each county were admitted to partake in the plantation-scheme; 
and that whilst they had previously held the rank of gentlemen and, 
were, indeed, so styled in their Patent--they were obliged to accept the 
meerest shreds of their own soil  .   .   .  But there were fiery 
spirits among the youthful gentry and nobility of Ulster--young men who 
could not brook the new order of things, and who, after coshering* for a 
time among their father's former tenants, betook themselves to the great 
green woods, adopting that craft or occupation (known as Tory or 
Rapparee,) which has been made comparatively respectable, under such 
circumstances, by men like Robin Hood, Redmond O'Hanlon, Shane Crossagh 
O'Cahan, and several others that might be named." 
   The following is a summary of the "Plantation" in each of the six 
counties in Ulster which were confiscated in the reign of King James the 
First, of England; and of whom Pynnar in his 'Survey' states, that at 
least 8,000 (eight thousand) were of "British" birth and descent:

* Coshering: By "coshering," the Irish people meant giving their lord 
a certain number of days' board and lodging, gratis.

Of those Planters, Hill, in his great work, the "Ulster Plantation,"p. 590, writes:
   .............."But the paradise of plenty, if not of peace, to which  
these strangers at times attained, was only secured by a very heavy and 
dreadful sacrifice of the general interests of Ireland as a nation; for, 
to this settlement in Ulster, and, in a minor degree, to similar 
settlements or plantations in other provinces of Ireland at the same 
period, may be traced the awful scenes and events of the ten years' 
civil war, commencing A.D.1641; the horrors of the revolutionary 
struggle in 1690, and the re-awakening of those horrors in 1798--not to 
mention certain less notable phases of that struggle during the 
intervals between those disastrous eras.  The dragons' teeth so 
plentifully, and as if so deliberately, sown in this Ulster Plantation, 
have, indeed, sprung up at times with more than usually abundant growth; 
yielding their ghastly harvests of blood and death on almost every 
plain, and by almost every river side, and in almost every glen of our 
northern Province."
