Where did the Irish MacTully family come from? What is the Irish MacTully family crest and coat of arms? When did the MacTully family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the MacTully family history? The original Gaelic form of MacTully was O Maoltuile or Mac Maoltuile. While tuile means flood, this element of the name, in this case probably represents toile, the genitive form of toil which means will. Thus the name probably means the will of God.People who were accounted for by scribes and church officials often had their name recorded many different ways because pronunciation was the only guide those scribes and church officials had to go by. This resulted in the problem of one person's name being recorded under several different variations, creating the illusion of more than one person. Among the many spelling variations of the surname MacTully that are preserved in archival documents are MacAtilla, MacTully, Tully, Multilly, MacTorley and many more. First found in County Galway, where they held a family seat from ancient times. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our MacTully research.

Poverty, lack of opportunities, high rents, and discrimination forced thousands to leave the island for North America. The largest exodus of Irish settlers occurred with the Great Potato Famine of the late 1840s. For these immigrants the journey to British North America and the United States was long and dangerous and many did not live to see the shores of those new lands. Those who did make it were essential to the development of what would become two of the wealthiest and most powerful nations of the world. These Irish immigrants were not only important for peopling the new settlements and cities, they also provided the manpower needed for the many industrial and agricultural projects so essential to these growing nations. Immigration and passenger lists have documented the arrival of various people bearing the name MacTully to North America: Phillip MacTorley who settled in Philadelphia in 1828; Charles, David, Edward, James, John, Patrick, Thomas and William Tully all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860..
