The Irish Breretons

 Like many Breretons, I began my research with  Brereton Hall; however, as I continued to trance my roots, I realized that Sir Wm of Cheshire and his sons went to Ireland to fight in the Battle of Maynooth and many of them were given land in the area that became known “the Plantation” in Ireland.  These families grew and prospered and over time they settled in many countries of the world with large numbers emigrating to North America.  I have prepared a number of histories which may be accessed by clicking the menu above.  I also have more histories in draft which may at some point be added to the site.

The Plantation was located in County Offaly (Kings) and Leix (Queens) also known as County Laos.
