This surname is local, and probably of Norman-Conquest importation into England. It was introduced into Ireland at Strongbow's invasion. Richard de Tuite, who engaged in that expedition, obtained from his leader fair possessions in Teffia, and was made a palatine peer by the title of Baron of Moyashill. He was killed in 1211, by the fall of a tower in Athlone. D'Alton.
