Cormac and Mary had at least one son: —and two daughters (birth order unknown): His father died in 1448[16] but MacCarthy did not succeed immediately.
Muskerry died in 1494 having been killed by his brother Owen[19] and was buried in the chancel of the church of the Kilcrea Friary.
No epitaph is found there now,[20] but earlier observers have recorded the following Latin inscription: Hic Jacet Cormacus fil.
Dermatu magni Mc Carthy Dnus de Musgraigh Flayn ac istius conventus primus fondator, an Dom.
Interestingly the Latin text uses the Irish word "Flayn", "Prince", in addition to Dominus as his title.
