Saint Grellan
Saint Grellan is an Irish saint and patron saint of the Kelly〔O'Donovan, ''Tribes and Customs of Hy Many'', pp. 8–12.〕 and Donnellan clans and of the parish of Ballinasloe,〔Egan, (''Ballinasloe: A Historical Sketch'' ).〕 in County Galway, Ireland.
==Early life==
According to the hagiography ''The Life of St. Grellan'', Grellan lived during the 5th century time of Saint Patrick. Grellan was assigned a site to build a church at Achadh Fionnabhrach, by Duach Gallach, a King of Connacht. Duach Gallach granted Grellan the site to build his church after Grellan brought back to life by baptism Duach Gallach's stillborn son, Eoghan Sriabh.〔
Achadh Fionnabhrach has been ever since called Craobh Ghrealláin (Irish for 'the branch of Grellan'), named after the branch which king Duach and St. Patrick presented to St. Grellan, in token of possession. The king also ordered that seven garments should be given from every chieftain's wife as a tribute to the young cleric.〔
After this Grellan proceeded to the upper third of Connacht and continued to traverse the country but he eventually settled and established a church at Cill Cluaine (or Kilclooney, near present-day Ballinasloe) in Magh Seincheineoil, a territory occupied by the Firbolg and led by Cian d'Fhearaibh Bolg.〔
