"Youngest Daughter" is a member of a large tune family with many variants in England and Scotland as well as Ireland. The ancestral tune for the family is considered to be "Hopetoun House," first printed in Edinburgh by Robert Bremner in 1760. O'Neill's "Youngest Daughter" is also very closely related to a reel called "Sweet Molly (1)," printed by the Gow family in Edinburgh in 1799, and in London by piper O'Farrell in the early years of the 19th century.
“Rolling in the Barrel” is a related tune, while P.W. Joyce's song air and jig "Cock Your Pistol Charlie (2)" is a 6/8 time setting. Co. Leitrim piper and fiddler biography:Stephen Grier included the reel in volume 2 of his c. 1883 music manuscript collection as "Polly's Reel/Rant."
Paul de Grae points out that Brendan Breathnach in notes to a member of the tune family, "Baintreach na Radaireacht" (The Ranting Widow), cited "Miss Fargherson's New Reel" as an antecedent[1]. The latter tune was printed in London music publisher David Rutherford's Compleat Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol. 3 (c. 1775). However, as Paul points out, many of the titles that Breathnach associated with "Ranting Widow" are distanced from "Youngest Daughter."
