Tomás, Chevalier O'Gorman or Tomás Ó Gormáin (or Mac Gormáin)genealogist.
Born in Castletown,
.O'Gorman married a daughter of Count d'Éon, and from him inherited vast vineyards, lost in the
Irish manuscripts. He also compiled pedigrees of Irish expatriates, and personally arranged for the Book of Ballymote to be given by the Irish College to the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin
.
According to a somewhat dubious legend, O'Gorman received the Brian Boru Harp and gave it to Colonel Burton Conyngham, who transferred it in Trinity College Dublin, where it remains.[2]
