Dáibhid was the son of Fionnladh and Máire. Dáibhid married Pádraigín Nic Dhonnachaidh, who would be a princess of the blood of Scotland. They had Seannafair, Críostóir, and Caoimheall. Pádraigín was the daughter of Sgt. Radhulf Óg Mac Donnachaidh, who fought in World War II and was injured storming the beaches of Normandy, France.

Nollag mór Mac Donnachaidh was the son of Rebecca Welles daughter of Robert Welles son of Robert Welles son of Thomas Humphrey Welles IV son of Capt. Sir Robert de Welles. I highly doubt this next part to be true, but it is alleged that Sir Robert was the son of John de Welles, 1st Viscount Welles (1450-1499) and his wife Princess Cecily of York (1469-1507) daughter of King Edward IV of England and his wife Elizabeth Woodville.

Bethia Bearse's mother was Ruth Taylor daughter of Seth Taylor son of Elizabeth Hamilton daughter of Daniel Hamilton son of Thomas Hamilton son of Sir George Hamilton, 1st Baronet, of Donalong. Sir George was the son of Mary Butler daughter of Thomas Butler, Viscount Thurles, son of Walter an Phaidrín Butler, 11th Earl of Ormond, who himself can boast an impressive pedigree (go look it up I do not have enough space). Thomas's mother and Walter's wife was Lady Helen Butler daughter of Edmund Butler, 2nd Viscount Mountgarret, and his wife Gráinne Fitzpatrick daughter of Brían Óg Mac Giolla Phádraig, last King of Ossory. Brían Óg was the first Gaelic noble to take advantage of King Henry VIII's program called Surrender and Regrant and became known from then on as Barnaby Fitzpatrick, 1st Baron Upper Ossory (died 1575).
