There are 219 Hartnetts in all of County Cork during Griffith’s Valuation.

In terms of geography, Monagurra and Ballybraher are adjoining townlands while Ballylongane is between Shanagarry and Garryvoe.

The 1766 census of Cloyne has one Thomas “HARNETT" who lived outside the town of Cloyne and a Thomas Hartnett who lived in the town of Cloyne. Their religion is noted as "Papist".

The 1830 Kilmahon Tithe Applotment lists three Hartnetts: Daniel of Ballinamona, Martin of Ardnahinch, and Maurice of Monagurra.

There are no Hartnetts listed in Ballybraher or Carrigkilter. There is a John Hartnett listed in Ballycotton and several Hartnett's in or around Ballyandreen.

John Hartnett is listed as the father of Mary Catherine Hartnett on her death certificate.

The Hartnetts are most likely buried in the Mogeely Cemetery.
