The clan's ancestor was a man named Donal Reamhar MacGiolla Phádraig, who was a descendant of Saint Patrick himself. They established themselves as landowners and became known for their military prowess, serving as loyal allies to the High Kings of Ireland.
Throughout history, the Patrick clan played a significant role in Irish politics and were involved in numerous conflicts and battles against the English invaders. They were known for their resistance against English occupation and their dedication to preserving Irish culture and independence.
