HANNAH

William Laverty
died
September 30, 1890
AE 58 yrs
"Gone But Not Forgotten"
Three of his sons, William, John & Henry Laverty, it is reported, migrated west, working as
laborers for the Union Pacific RR; John reportedly died enroute , while William &
Henry survived in Eureka CA.
Laverty is an exclusively Ulster name, but is found mainly in Co Antrim. Most of
this name will be originally MacLaverty's, a sept of Clan Donald, hereditary 'speakers,
or heralds, of the Lords of the Isles'. The Clan Donald claim that the name was originally
Fear Labhairt an Righ, 'the kings speaker' but Black states that the name was actually
Fhlaithbhertaich and was thus etymologically similar to the Irish O'Flaverty or O'Lafferty.
The MacLavertys claim to be originally a Kintyre branch of the MacDonalds. They were later
based on Islay, at the court of the Lords of the Isles. The name became common to on Arran.
In the mid-19thC the Antrim Lavertys were found almost exclusively in the barony of Upper
Dunluce.
