Extracted Irish Historical Notes:
"The sept of O Mainnin was located in the barony of Tiaquin, Co. Galway, their chief's residence being the castle of Clogher. They were an important sept in the Hy Many country but were not of that group by descent, as their ancestors were the ancient pre-Gaelic Pictish rulers of that area.
Their territory was much reduced by the O'Kellys, and their estates were largely lost in the C17th confiscations, but the Mannions (as they are called in Connacht) remained in their homeland where they are numerous today. The name has also been anglicized Manning: Cornet John Manning of O'Neills Dragoons in King James II's Irish Army was an O'Mannin. Manning, of course, is a fairly common name in England, and some of the Mannings of Dublin and Cork are of English descent. Frederick Maning (1812-1883), who became a Maori chief in New Zealand, was from Dublin."
