Fascinating stuff! The Irish side of my family came from County Mayo as well.. the town of Kilmaine.

Did you deliberately choose her name in honor of this Grace O’Malley?

BTW, I apologize on behalf of the state of Maryland for the disgrace our Communist governor has brought to the O’Malley name.

What her detractors decry as "piracy" was in actuality, nothing more than agressive tax collection on commercial shipping in O' Malley territorial waters. The O' Malleys had been a maritime clan before, and after her life...

Grandfather Toler said he was Scotch/Irish and the devil. Never met him, he died for I was born, but pretty well assured of the devil part.

I’m thinking of another Irishman who became a pirate. I can’t remember his name!

He converted to islam then lead raids on IRELAND carrying off the entire population of Baltimore, Ireland, sold them into slavery in Morocco. He lived during the reign of Charles I.

I visited Grace O’Malley’s island when I was in Ireland. You can actually wade to get to it during low tide.
