In Pender's Census of 1659, 77 Ryan families are listed in the Barony of Clanwilliam, which includes Tipperary town. This is by far the largest number for any name.
The Ryans were a prominent family in the Tipperary area: "Ryan is today one of the ten commonest surnames in Ireland. It is an anglicised form of the old Gaelic O'Maoilriaghain / O'Maoilriain, meaning 'descendant of a devotee of St Riaghan'. The first recorded spelling of the name, which was dated c14th century, is shown to be that of O'Maoilriain, in "Medieval Records of County Tipperary", during the reign of Gerald, Earl of Desmond, 1369 - 1374. The O'Maoilriain sept was very powerful in Owney (formerly called Owney O'Mulryan), which forms two modern baronies on the borders of Counties Limerick and Tipperary. Even today the surname is highly concentrated in this area. In the 1850s Griffiths Valuation, 8,871 Ryan households were recorded, nearly half of which were in Tipperary." (http://irelandroots.com/ryan.htm) "The Sologhead memorial near Tipperary town. It is said that there was a large castle in this area that was a major seat of the Ryan clan. It was also the scene of an ambush during the Irish war of Independence, hence the memorial that can be seen to-day. Even if there is nothing to be seen of the Ryan castle, a visit to the area to view and absorb the landscape could give a Ryan descendant a sense of the place where their ancestors once lived." (http://ryanirishclan.com/ryan-heritage-homelands) "The O'Maoilriains, or anglicised Mulryans, are directly descended from Fergus, ninth in descent from Cathair Mor and are said to have settled in the 13th century in the rich pasturelands of the Golden Vale bordering Tipperary and Limerick. The O'Maoilriains, who were chiefs of Owney, settled in that territory which is now known as the Baronies of Owney, County Tipperary and Owney-beg in the east of County Limerick and later moved in to the Barony of Kilnamanagh, County Tipperary, where they became very numerous and powerful. Most of the buildings constructed by the Ryans (O'Mulryans) when they arrived in the Owney territory of Munster were demolished prior to, or during the 17th century when their properties were confiscated by Cromwellian forces."
