The COOPER Rooneys got their name from the fact that they worked at the coopering trade. A Hugh Rooney was said to have learnt the trade from a Patrick Smyth of mullaghbrady, the Roslea Martyr who was executed on 12/10/1797. Because of his association with Smyth he was in danger of arrest so he fled with his family to Ballybay then to Drogheda and eventually came back to Derrygannon. Hugh married Mary Boyle from Derrygelly. Master Hugh Rooney (cooper) was taught by Master James Cassidy in Greaghawarren National School. He was appointed monitor at age 14 and half years at £5 per annum. He then went for teacher training in Drumcondra, Dublin for two years from 1900 to 1902. He taught in Ballymena from 1902 to 1906 and then moved to Bruscarnagh National School. In 1910 he moved to Cordoolagh and then St Tierneys in 1934 when it opened. He retired in 1945. Hugh Rooney was married to Emila Maguire who was a sister of Master Maguire who taught in Aughnashalvey. Others in the family were Mary Ann, Joseph, James, Alice and John. Joe married McAloon and went to Dernasell, James was a musician and played the flute. He played with Mick McMahon. John was a barman in Flynns pub in Roslea, also Clones and Enniskillen. He married Clare Fitzpatrick from Scotshouse and was a founder member of the Gaels club in Enniskillen. Alice married Hugh Martin of Derryneese.
