The earliest trace of the name as John O'Hart shows in his "Irish Pedigrees" is in the Celtic
(Erse) form "O' Airmead-haigh", which he says has been anglicised; Armedy, Armidage, Armitage,
and Armiytage.

The O'Airmeadhaigh family was one of the "Hy-Niall" Septs. These septs were directly
descended from Nial-Mor also called Niall of the nine hostages (Niall naughiallach) (A.D. 378-405). See Keatings history of Ireland. Niall was the son Eochy Morvane (Eochaith Maigh-Medon), son of Muredach Tirech of the line of Heremon the 124th monarch of Ireland, and a first cousin of Lathy, the last Pagen Monarch of Ireland. Niall himself was the 126th monarch of Ireland. Niall's mother was Carinna-Cas-Dubb, daughter of king of Britain. Niall had twelve, some say, fourteen sons, and eight of his sons became stern fathers of important clans in Ireland. O'Hart says that "Airmeadhach" was a brother of Malodhar Caoch, ancestor of Clann Columin-Dove, the most celebrated of Irish missionaries, known as St. Colomba of Iona, Dr. Gammock in his article in the Dictionary of Christian Biography points out that St. Columba was descended from Niall of the nine hostages.

The name "Naoi-ghiollach" was given to Nial on account of the nine hostages he forced his
enemies to place in his hands. Sir Walter Scott in "Rokeby", speaks of great "Niall of the pledges
nine", and notes that he derived his epithet from "nine nations or tribes whom he held under his
subjection, and from whom he took hostages." He exercised a predatory warfare on the coast of
England and of Britagne or Armorica, and from the latter country carried away the celebrated St.
Patrick. He is said to have been monarch of all Ireland and he was the most powerful of the Scotic
dynasty (so called from Scota wife to Gallamn, (Milesius,) the Spanish -Scythian conqueror who
landed in Ireland in 1300B.C. (see Keating P.96) He ravaged Britain for many years. He was killed at the Loire by an arrow from Eocha son of Eana, King of Leinster (Mac Googhaghan).

The name Armitage or Armytage was for long centuries found in Yorkshire and Lancashire,
and earlier perhaps in Lincolnshire. The form "Hermitage" was also used in Scotland and may be
seen in Hermitage castle and Lord Hermitage, Soulis, Lord of the Hermitage was one of the most
powerful nobles, long before the Douglasses arose. It is difficult to find the date of the creation of
Hermitage castle but James III wrote in 1481 in regard to the repair of border castles, "and especially the Hermitage which is in maist danger".

Bardsley in his Dictionary of Surnames, says the name is from "Hermitage". It is the local
names of Hermitage, once pronounced Harmitage or Armitage, in the North (compare Clark & Clerk, Derby & Darby). The best instance from literature is probably the old use of the word as found in Chaucer's Dreme "Visite the heavenly armitage", (See Oxford Dictionary).

The Kirkburton registers (Yorkshire) contain many forms of the name, viz, Armitage,
Armetage, Armytage, Armytegge, Armyteg, Armitege, Armiteg, Harmitage, Hermeytage, Ermetage,
Armatage, Armitag, Hermytage, Ermitage, Ermintage, Armytage, Armetegh, Armetadge.

The family of Armytage or Armitage is of great antiquity in the North of England, as may be
proved by many undoubted authorities.

There are five pedigrees in the of the family in the Heralds' Visitations in the British museum,
of early date. One pedigree, attested by Sir Henry St. George, Norry King-at-arms, traces the
descent of the Kirkless branch attested 2nd Feb. 1637 from John Armytage, (in the copy in the
possession of Sir George J. Armytage, Bart, Kirkle Park 1908, it is Armitage), of Mrignbowls
(Mrighbole) living tenth King Stephen (1145) which seat coat arms, he is said to have had conferred
on him (according to ________ Onfymes, Steward to Remigius, Bishop of ___ cator, ______ Sir
George Armytage pointed out, Burke is quite mistaken in saying that Rodger Onfymes conferred the
arms, it should read that when John Armitage took the "Manor", he i.e. John Armytage, gave as his
arms, "gules, a lion's head erased between three cross crosslettes, argent. (see Lansdowne Mss.
No. 900 British Museum). Remigius was the friend of William the Conqueror and exhorted the
Norman host at Hastings. He died 1092.

The name Ricardo de Hermitage, occurs with several principal men of York, to the Charter of
de Lacey, constable of Chester to the monastery, of St. John, Pontefract, 2nd May 1258. The name
Willelimus del Ermytache is found in the Poll tax of the west riding of Yorkshire in 1379. The name
Adam del Armitage, is found as witness of a charter in 1395, William del Armitage and Adam del
Armitage, held lands in Waltham in 1426.

For early Armitage pedigrees , see Landsdowne Mss, folio 310, British Museum.

For Roger Onfymes-Peter Amundeville of Kingeroy, called also Humfines, steward to
Remigius of Rescamp, see Harleian Society, Vol XIV, 613.

The Armitages are called the Norman Armitages, and it has always been held held that they
came to England with (William?) the conqueror. The Rev. Edward Armitage (1908) told me that
many years ago he inquired of the Abbe Cochet of Dieppe, a very competent antiquarian, if he knew
of any place in Normandy called the Hermitage, and he replied that he knew least three.

The name is traced to Niall of the nine hostages, A.D. 379-405, whose son King Laognaire
was converted by St. Patrick at the hill of Tara as was also his brother at Teltown (Taillton)
(Donaghpatrick). What explanation is there of the early Irish and Celtic Origin and of the Norman
ancestry. Did some member of the family, fighting in France with Niall, or later still, settle to
England? In this connection it is necessary to note there appears to be no similarity between the
Celtic term for Hermitage and its later use.

There is a curious statement in the January 1907, "Cornhill", from the pen of Andrew Lang
page 7, in an article on border literature. Andrew Lang says, "The most enthusiastic admirers of the
Ballads were the clever ladies in London, that is, the BORDERERS them selves, the Scotts, Elliots,
Armitages, Rutherfords, Kers and all their kith and kin" (Cornhill Smith Elder & Co., 15 Waterloo
Place, London, England.)

The writer (Anderson, William James) wrote Andrew Lang at the time, thinking that he might
have confused the name Armitage with Armstrong, the well known border family, but received no
further light from him, than a mere statement about Hermitage castle.

Notes on the Armitage Family in Ireland

John Armytage of Farnley Tyas, and Huddersfield, Yorkshire, who bought Kirklees Priory in 1565 was, according to Mrs. Collins' Kirkburton Registers, killed off the coast of Ireland at
Knockfergus in February, 1574. He was, Mrs. Collins states, a merchant who carried on an
extensive trade in Ireland, in which he made a large fortune. Like all the merchants of his time he did all his own traveling, and it is said that he, or one of his family was murdered in Ireland.

On the 14th of September, 1544 (patent Roll, 36 Henry VIII) the king granted to William
Ramsdene, few of the possessions of the Priory (Kirklees), including a cottage at Hartshead, three
cottages in Huddersfield in the tenure of John Armytage. The name appears also as John Armitage.
The name Thomas del Hermitage, appears in 1437, acting as attorney for several persons to deliver
to Sir Thomas Haryngton, therin styled armiger (esquire) possession of certain lands, comprised in a
conveyance.

Joseph Armytage (Armitage) grandson of John Armytage named above, was living in
Kilkenny in 1608. He was a son of John Armitage of Kirklees, formerly of the middle temple by his
second wife, Margery Beaumont-Knight. He was born about 1586. In the Pedigree of Armytage of Kirklees, it is noted "named in his fathers will." No mention is made of his marriage, but under his name appears "Elizabeth Armytage".

William Armitage of Atherdee (Ardee) Ireland, a lieutenant in 1641, whose estates in
Atherdee, comprising of 1384 acres, with houses and tenements, in 1666. He is spoken of in 1663,
as the grantee of Mullingstown, forfeited in 1641. There is no mention of William Armitage in Lord
Ernest Hamilton's History of the Rebellion of 1641. Ardee is mentioned, p. 168 as falling into the
hands of Coll McBrian MaoMahon.

Extract from letter of Tenison Groves, 33 Mt. Merrion Ave., Blackrock, Co. Dublin, dated 11th June 1904 to Rev. W.J. Armitage, Halifax, N.S.
" ............As to Rhody Armitage said to have forfeited Kilcolman and Tullamore in 1641, I consider it is a myth. I consider the tradition arises either 1. from an Armitage having gad a lease for a term of
years from the Finchs of Kilcolman etc. which has expired, or (2) From your being maternally
descended from the O'Hogans who did forfeit Kilcolman and Tullaghmore in 1641. I noticed the
surname Hogan in the Nenagh Parish registers showing there were Protestants of that name about
1770........... The Nenagh Parish registers commence 1740. I have searched them till 1791 when a
gap occurs extending to 1805. I only found, "Elizabeth Armitage, daughter of William Armitage and
(his wife) Mary Mealy, was born the 21st Apr. 1782 and baptized 9th May following. The words "his
wife" are not in original but it is in the ordinary form of all the entries, when the child was illegitimate,
the entry states so. There are also several entries showing that here were Protestants families of
Magrath and Hogan in that neighborhood, and several families of Hodgens in both Nenagh and
Modreny. The registers of Monsea parish commence 1811. I searched the last volume and found
no Armitage entries.

Plts. on 24 Nov. 1713 agreed with deft. Newport who held the 2 grist mills of the Manor of
Carrick from James Butler, Duke of Armonde and which were then fallen down and ruinous. That
Newport should rebuild them and lease them to plts. for £15. fine at L80 yearly rent for 21 years. In
accordance with agreement, Newport commenced the rebuilding but afterwards agreed with plts.
that they should finish the work for £50. which they did.

Afterwards Newport induced the other defts. to send their corn to other mills. When Defts.
Armitage and Wall promised that if plts. would lease them 1/2 mills, they would induce the other
defts. and the rest of the inhabitants of Carrick to patronize the mills. Plts. leased 1/2 the mills to
Armitage and Wall for no other consideration but instead of carrying out their agreement, they
transferred their lease to Deft. Newport who has evicted plts. on 1st March 1714.

The Particulars desired are concerning:
Rhody Armitage: William Armitage: and family Co. Tipperary Ireland. It is supposed that Rhody
Armitage settled in Ireland, about the time of Queen Elizabeth: or King James the 1st. The family
tradition is that he had extensive estates, but that they were forfeited by Cromwell, and never
restored. It is said, that the estates were: Tullaghmore, and Kilcolman, in Co. Tipperary. The story is
that Cromwell gave them to the Finches. My own view is that Rhody Armitage, or William; there is
no certainty as to which is father or son; is descended from Joseph of Kilkenny. I think it probable
that the same is true of Wm. of Ardee; and Francis of Cork. I wish especially to trace the Tipperary
family from which I am descended. My grandfather, Wm. Armitage came from Cloughjordan. But I
think that the family lived at a place near Nenagh:- probably Newton Mills. There are many
Armitages buried at Modreny, Co. Tipperary. My immediate family lived for a time at Dohorrow, or
Lisna Hall (Lissen Hall). My great grandfather married a Misa McGrath his name was Rhody
Armitage. My grandfather married a Miss Sarah Hodgins of Burntwood & Stony, Cloughjordan.
(Wm. Armitage) It ought to be possible to trace the Kilcolman, and Gullaghmore estates before they
came into the possession of Finch of Tullamore (inrolled 10th Aug. 1666). You may have means of
finding the early history of the Armitage family in Ireland. The name "Rhody" is a peculiar one and
belongs to the family. I am anxious to find out its origin. It is supposed to be a corruption of Roger,
or Roderick, but may possibly come from Rhodes. The name is used in England, Rhodes Armitage,
and Armitage Rhodes.

A name-sake of mine in Ireland who claims to know but whose information, I am not sure is
trustworthy, says that in my family the names run: Rhody (the 1st); William (old); Rhody the 2nd;
Rhody, the 3rd, William, (my grandfather). But I think that three, if not four generations are missing.
The lists, and papers enclosed are for your guidance

Particulars received from William R. Armitage, 26 Barrack St. Nenagh, 7th Sept. 1903.
The first of the Armitage's was "old William" of Newton Mills. 3-1/2 miles from Nenagh. He had
three sons; Joseph, "Rhody" and Luke or (Luce). (He also mentions a fourth son Frank). Joseph
remained in possession of Newton Mills. Frank and Rhody lived at a place called Cragganes or
Cregawns, or Creganus 1/2 mile or so from the Mill. Luke or (Luce) lived at Lissen Hall at a place
called "the Five Alleys' Carrigatoher. Joseph married Anne Lees or Llius, and had children: William,
Joseph, Mary, (William was born 1800, married 1837, died 1882) Rhody intermarried with a Miss
Baskerville. They had ten in family. Luke's family consisted of Wm. James, John, and Mary. The
families of Rhody, and Frank are all dead. William R. (now of Nenagh was born in 1838) Died about
1922, i.e. before 1924 when I visited Nenagh. Luke married a Miss McDonnell. Miss Carrol of
Lissen Hall, writes "The Cregawns is the name of a townland near Newton". "The range of hills
above Newton are called Duhharrow:
