James Lally
James Lally (also O'Mullally) was an Irish landowner and Jacobite from Tuam, County Galway. He led the Gaelic O'Mullally clan, whose lands lay around Tulach na Dála, north of Tuam. The eldest son of Thomas Lally and Jane Dillon, he represented Tuam Borough in James II's Patriot Parliament of 1689. After the Jacobite defeat, his lands were seized and he was outlawed. He went to France in 1690 with his cousin Arthur Dillon, and was killed in 1691 at Montmélian while serving as colonel-commandant in Dillon's regiment. His brother Gerald also went to France and was the father of Thomas Arthur Lally, Baron de Tollendal and Comte de Lally.
