Descendants of the O Reillys of Baltrasna have been in Cuba for two centuries where, as Counts of Castillo and Marquis of San Felipe y Santiago, their lineage is to be found in the archives of Havana.
Colonel Myles O Reilly fought courageously as a cavalry officer during the terrible war from 1641 to 1653, when the old Gaelic Ireland was crumbling and its soldiers were being driven abroad.
The O Reillys suffered greatly for their Catholic faith during the penal times, and those who managed to retain their houses and land became targets of anti-landlordism in the nineteenth century and the anti-Ascendancy nationalists of the twentieth century who ignorantly believed that all the fine houses were British-owned.
