"Henceforth the O Driscoll were but tenants on their ancestral lands, however noble their lineage. Rickard O Donovan, writing at the time of the Famine, refered to many members of the clan then striving to keep alive in the workhouses of Skibbereen and Schull. He mentioned one William O Driscoll then 84 and living in England who claimed the title of 'O Dricoll' as a descendant of Col. Cornelius. Since his only son was unmarried, however, this branch appeared likely to become extinct, and the title would then devolve on cousins in Charleston, U.S.A...."
