Eric and others who might be interested,
I found that "The Midland Septs and the Pale" is in the LDS Library, and
apparently has been put on microfilm. I assume that means
it could be read at any LDS Library, but I don't know that for sure. It is "FHL
BRITISH Film 990402 Item 14"
The book can be ordered from several pages. I found a review of the book also. Hope this
info is helpful to someone.

I found a report regarding the book:
"Thanks to Nancy Bier for the following:
Irish Researchers:
THE MIDLAND SEPTS AND THE PALE:
An account of the early septs and later settlers of the King's County and of life
in the English Pale by F.R. Montgomery
Hitchcock pub. by Heritage Classic cost $24.50. Most Irish researchers are used to the
place names in Ireland changing from Irish
to English. They are used to there being as many as four or five names for the same place.
How many know about the personal surname
changes that took place in Ireland?
In the 1840's and 1850's names in the west of Ireland often became something
different. The Civil Registration Offices recorded
strange things with surnames and personal names. For instance, a man might give his newly
born male child a girl's name and declare
it was his right to do so. In the English Pale, (that area surrounding Dublin in the
15-17th centuries), several orders were given
by the English Crown that had great effect on Irish names and customs. A statute of Henry
VI ordered English colonists in the Pale
to shave their mustaches so they would not be mistaken for Irish. In Edward IV's time
(1467) this trend was continued by an order
that Irish men should do the same. The Irish were ordered to remove "the beard above
their mouth".
Other orders addressed the Irish style of dress. Irish men were to dress like English men.
The Irish were also ordered to take
themselves English names of towns, trades, colour, art or science, or an office such as
Cook. Their heirs were to keep these
anglicized names or forfeit their goods yearly. Such names as KINSELLAGHs, McNAMARAs,
O'MOLLOYs, O'SHAUGHNESSYs, and O'MORCHOSMIGHT
would have become Sutton, Chester, Trym, White, Smith, or Carpenter.
This phenomenon is explained in a book republished by Heritage Classic titled THE MIDLAND
SEPTS AND THE PALE, by F.R. Montgomery
Hitchcock. It also contains an appendix of 48 King's County Families resident there in
the 18th century. ARMSTRONG, BURY, CHENEVIS,
DROUGHT, GAICH, HUTCHINSON, KING, L'ESTRANGE, MINCHIN, NESBITT, PEACOCK, STERLING,
TARLETON and WETHERELT are a few of the names
mentioned."
