Hardiman states that “This family was, formerly, of the first rank and opulence and is still wealthy and respectable." The Nolans were not included among the elite group known as The Tribes of Galway but the family were prosperous enough to marry into the Tribes and purchase property such as Ballinrobe castle. Thomas Nolan of the castle and town of Ballinrobe, Esq., who died 18 June 1628, "was possessed of most extensive landed possessions; to which his son Gregory succeeded, and out of which his widow Agnes Martin had dower.” A town statute of 1500 mentions “Donell Oge O’Vollaghon, of this town, goldsmith’ who was made free at the request of Andrewe Fallon, whose daughter, Julian Fallon, was married to Donell; make him free “on condition of maintaining him” (Andrew) ‘’who is old and impotent.” Thomas Oge Nolan refused to sign the 1652 Articles of Surrender.
