Clan McGrath (Clann Mac Craith)
The Clan McGrath (Irish: ''Clann Mac Craith''), is an Irish Clan and recognised as such by Clans of Ireland. The name has its origins in Thomond (Irish: ''Tuadhmhumhain''), a kingdom that existed before the Norman invasion in the area of North Munster. The most notable King of Thomond was Brian Boru (Irish: ''Brian Bóruma Mac Cennétig'') c. 941 - 1014 and it is traditionally held that the Clann Mac Craith was a name bestowed upon the descendants of Brian's brother Ahearne. The Clan McGrath is thus a Clan of the Gaelic Irish tribe of the Dalcassian (Irish: Dal gCais). The Clan McGrath held a special place for themselves as hereditary poets and bards among the Dalcassian and served Brian and his descendants, the O'Brien princes of Thomond. The link to Brian Boru and the Clan O'Brien is perhaps best illustrated in the medieval period by the adoption of the three heraldic lions of the Clan O'Brien into the arms of the Clan McGrath.〔http://www.imecofarm.com/McGrath_Clan_Origins_Thomond_Clare_Imecofarm.htm〕 The three lions was an heraldic device commonly used amongst the Dalcassian, including the (Downey, McMahon, O'Grady, Coughlan, Considine and Clohessy Clans ).
From its foundations in Thomond the Clan McGrath established two main Septs, one in Ulster in an area known as Termonmcgrath, that incorporates the counties of Donegal, Tyrone and Fermanagh. The other main Sept is located in Waterford, Wexford and Tipperary and straddles Munster and Leinster.

Termonmcgrath (in Gaelic: Tearmann hMac Craith)
Termonmcgrath (also known as Termonmagrath) exists in the Barony of Tirhugh in South Donegal. The territory incorporates the modern town of Pettigoe and the ancient pilgrimage island and lake of Lough Derg. Termonmcgrath is also home to Castle McGrath (also known as Termon Castle). To the north of the McGrath territory and just outside Ballybofey is Carraig McGrath, the inauguration site of the McGrath Chieftains. The Clan McGrath were the hereditary Corabs of the famous pilgrimage island of Lough Derg and controlled the routes to the pilgrimage island and the revenues gained from pilgrims making their way from across Europe to the site. The Annals of Ulster detail the names and lineage of the McGrath Chieftains of Ulster from the 12th century until the eventual dispossession and confiscation of McGrath lands by the Cromwellian government in the 17th century. This valuable source also gives information on the Termon. The Termon was under the divine protection of the local Saint Davog (Dabhog) and the McGrath Chieftain. We find the annals describing this Termon as Tearmann Dabhog (St. Davog's Termon) until the end of the 15th century when in 1496 the Annals of Ulster begin to refer to it as Tearmann Mhic Craith (McGrath's Termon) from the Clan who held the hereditary office of Corab (in Gaelic: Comharba).
