Domhnall Ó Madadhan
Domhnall Ó Madadhan, chief of Síol Anmchadha, – after 8 March 1611. Domhnall was the grandson of Breasal Ó Madadhan (died 1526) and a son of John Ó Madadhan, chief from 1554 to 1556. In 1567 he surrendered his Gaelic title and was in return appointed Captain of his Nation by letters patent from Elizabeth I. He thus became the first of the Madden family chiefs to recognise English law instead of Gaelic Brehon law, in return for crown protection of his title to his lands. He attended the 1585 Parliament at Dublin. Despite most of the family rebelling during the Nine Years' War (Ireland), Domhnall himself did not participate. He was nevertheless lucky to escape the slaughter at Lusmagh Castle on 12 March 1595. During the winter of 1602–03 he attacked the followers of Dónall Cam Ó Súilleabháin Béirre. When he drew up his will on 8 March 1611 he did it under English law, settling his estate upon his eldest son while reserving some smaller properties for his younger ...

Richard Ó Madadhan
Richard Ó Madadhan (c. 1620 – late 1691) was Prior of Portumna Priory in 1691. Ó Madadhan was born about 1620, and was a native of Portumna. He studied at Avila but could not return to Ireland because of the Cromwellian Wars. He instead taught at Utrecht in Belgium. The Dominicans had been established before the 17th century. Their establishment was erected into a priory in 1640 under Ambrose Ó Madadhan but they were forced to abandon it during the Cromwellian era. They seem to have been re-established during The Restoration. Richard's length of tenure is unclear. However, he and the rest of the community were obliged to abandon the area in the aftermath of the Battle of Aughrim in July 1691. Hunted by Williamite forces, Ó Madadhan fled into "an impassable bog" but ultimately died of starvation.
