Local History by Seán Beattie

Hart, Landlords, Muff

Hart of Muff County Donegal

Doe Castle.

For more information on the Hart family see Henry Travers Hart, The Family History Of Hart Of Donegal, published in 1907. Only 40 copies were printed so the book is extremely rare. There is a copy in Letterkenny library. George Vaughan Hart carved his initials G.V.H on the walls of Doe Castle- a good example of historical graffiti. The main family seat was at Kilderry at Muff and they also owned a two-storey lodge on the border in the village. The last member of the family to live in Muff was Frank Hart who died some years ago.(see V 11 below). I corresponded with Frank for many years on Hart history and he was always generous with his information. He wrote in an exquisite hand on coloured notepaper. The family papers and photos are in PRONI in Belfast.and they offer a superb insight into life in Donegal especially Inishowen over the centuries. Fortunately the family retained all their letters and it is fascinating to read of their accounts of life in Greencastle in the 1800s as family members wrote home to Muff.

Guided tours of the castle will be available during the summer months. A trip on the Buncrana-Rathmullan ferry which operates during the summer season will ensure that you get to Doe Castle via Milford in less than 30 minutes from Rathmullan. The castle has an interesting history connecting with the MacSweeneys and refugees from the Spanish Armada in 1588.

    Great overview of the very accomplished Hart family – how would one assess them as landlords I wonder – good, bad, or somewhere in between/ I get the impression that they were benevolent but I may not have the full pictire

  2. I often wondered about those initials in Doe Castle– excellent post – thank you !

    Thank you for a very good piece on the family. I would like to point out that ” http://www.familyreemaker,com.users/h/a/r/Robert‑H‑Hart/FILE/0005page.html ” is no longer running but I have moved it to ” ancestry.co.uk ” under ” HART’S OF KILDERRY & BALLYNGARD (Muff) ” once more thank you.

    Just seeing this post today due to book launches etc recently. Thanks for this information. I had a regular and delightful correspondence with the late Frank Hart.and you may be aware of an article I wrote on William Hart and his oyster growing business in Donegal Annual 1999. Sean
