The family story on the Mulcahy side is that (as the O'Mulcahys), my forebears left Ireland in a hurry, as "criminals." A British soldier tried to rape my forebears' wife, and he caught the British soldier in the act, grabbed a battleaxe, and took his head off. Thus, the start of the Mulcahys in the US (or colonies at the time).
I don't know how true it was, but its the story on that side of my family.
