While Callaghan was a child, his father, Lord Muskerry, in March 1642 joined the Confederates{{Sfn|M'Enery|1904|p=172|ps=. "Lord Muskerry joined the insurgents early in March [1642]."}} to defend the Catholic faith and, as he thought, the King.{{Sfn|Ohlmeyer|2004|p=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_0198613857/page/107/ 107, right column, line 2]|ps=. "on the grounds that the rebellion was the only means of preserving Catholicism, the king's prerogative and the 'antient privileges of the poore Kingdom of Ireland ...'"}} Muskerry commanded the Confederates' Munster army in the Irish Confederate Wars. In October 1645 Giovanni Battista Rinuccini, the papal nuncio arrived in Ireland and visited Macroom Castle where Callaghan and his family were living.{{Sfn|Meehan|1882|p=[https://archive.org/details/confederationki01meehgoog/page/n154/ 136]|ps=. "At the great gate of Macroom Castle he was received by the Lady Helena Butler, sister to Lord Ormond and wife of Lord Muskerry, who was then in Dublin."}} Muskerry disagreed with Rinuccini's policies and resigned early in August 1647 from his command.{{Sfn|Coffey|1914|p=[https://archive.org/details/oneillormondchap00coffuoft/page/194/ 194]|ps=. "Early in August 1647 Muskerry laid down his command."}}

In May 1647 Muskerry sent Callaghan's elder brother, Cormac, with a regiment to France to serve Louis XIV.{{Sfn|Carte|1851|p=[https://archive.org/details/lifeofjamesdukeo03cart/page/305/ 305]|ps=. "... [Donough] had sent over a regiment under his eldest son Cormac MacCarty, then a youth but thirteen years old, who continued to serve abroad until the restoration. M. du Talon set sail on May 15 [1647] from Waterford with that regiment on board five ships that he had brought from Rochelle."}} After Rinuccini had left Ireland on 23 February 1649,{{Sfn|O'Sullivan|1983|p=[https://archive.org/details/oldgalwayhistory00osul/page/278/ 278]|ps=. "... the San Pietro, the vessel which had brought him to Ireland and on which he now proposed to depart ... on the morning of the 23rd February 1649, Rinuccini quitted 'the place of his refuge' and went on board."}} Muskerry took up arms again to resist the Cromwellian Conquest of Ireland. He fought to the bitter end and surrendered Ross Castle near Killarney to Edmund Ludlow on 27 June 1652, disbanding his 5000-strong army.{{Sfn|Ohlmeyer|2004|p=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_0198613857/page/107/ 107, right column]|ps=. "he fought on before finally surrendering at Ross Castle (27 June 1652) and fleeing to the continent."}}{{Sfn|Firth|1894|p=[https://archive.org/details/memoirsedmundlu01firtgoog/page/n396/ 320, line 10]|ps=. "Ross in Kerry; where the Lord Muskerry made his principal rendezvous, and which was the only place of strength the Irish had left, except the woods, bogs and mountains ..."}}

To guarantee his compliance with the terms, Muskerry gave one of his sons to Ludlow as hostage.{{Sfn|Firth|1894|p=[https://archive.org/details/memoirsedmundlu01firtgoog/page/n398/ 322, line 4]|ps=. "... his son together with Daniel Obryan were delivered to me as hostages ..."}} This must have been Callaghan, aged about 14, as his eldest, Cormac, was away with his regiment in France and Justin, aged 9, was probably with his mother in exile, also in France.

Muskerry was allowed to embark to Spain.{{Sfn|Webb|1878|p=[https://archive.org/details/acompendiumiris00webbgoog/page/n311/ 303, right column, line 49]|ps=. "He then passed into Spain."}} The family's estates were lost in the Act of Settlement of 1652,{{Sfn|D'Alton|1910|p=[https://archive.org/details/ireland04daltuoft/page/n123/ 345]|ps=. "... a long list of distinguished men, more than a hundred in number, were proscribed by name, and excluded from all mercy, among whom were the Lords Ormond, Clanricarde, Castlehaven, Inchiquin, Muskerry ..."}} passed by the English Rump Parliament on 12 August.{{Sfn|Firth|Rait|1911|p=[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=inu.30000046036137&view=1up&seq=604 598]|ps=. "An Act for the Setling of Ireland [12 August, 1652]"}}

Some time before the fall of Ross Castle, Muskerry had sent his wife, Callaghan's mother, to safety in France. She was probably accompanied by Callaghan's youngest brother, Justin, and his sisters. His mother lived with her sister Mary Butler, Lady Hamilton, in the convent of the Feuillantines in Paris.{{Sfn|Clark|1921|p=[https://archive.org/details/anthonyhamiltonh00claruoft/page/8/ 8]|ps=. "... his [Anthony Hamilton's] mother and his aunt, Lady Muskerry, had apartments at the couvent des Feuillantines in Paris ..."}} In the late 1650s Callaghan entered a seminary in France.{{Sfn|Creighton|2009|loc=2nd paragraph|ps=. "He entered a seminary in the late 1650s ... and by 1664 he was a student at the Irish college at Toulouse."}}

On 27 November 1658 his father was created Earl of Clancarty by Charles II in Brussels, where the King was then in exile.{{Sfn|Cokayne|1913|p=[https://archive.org/details/completepeerageo03coka/page/215/ 215, line 2]|ps=. "As reward for his services he was by patent dat. at Brussels 27 Nov., 1658, cr. [created] Earl of Clancarty, co. Cork [I. [Ireland]]"}} By this advancement the title of Viscount of Muskerry became a subsidiary title of the family, which was given as a courtesy title to the Earl's heir apparent. Callaghan's elder brother Charles (or Cormac) was from there on styled Lord Muskerry.{{Sfn|Burke|Burke|1915|p=[https://archive.org/details/b3136410x/page/6/ 6]|ps=. "... such eldest sons of Peers ... as enjoy a plurality of titles, take and use the secondary one by courtesy."}}

At the Restoration, Callaghan, aged about 13, and his elder brother, Cormac, stayed behind in France, while his parents, his younger brother, Justin, and his sisters returned to the British Isles. Cormac stayed behind in Dunkirk with his regiment, whereas Callaghan continued to prepare for the priesthood in a French seminary,{{Sfn|Murphy|1959|p=3|ps=. "... the second son Callaghan was probably studying for the priesthood in France."}}{{Sfn|O'Hart|1892|p=[https://archive.org/details/irishpedigrees00unkngoog/page/n162/ 124]|ps="This Ceallaghan, who died in 1676, was being educated in France, for Holy Orders, but when the news of his brother's death reached him, he quitted his monastery, became a Protestant, and married."}}{{Efn|Cokayne 1913 maintains he was a monk but this seems to be wrong.{{Sfn|Cokayne|1913|p=[https://archive.org/details/completepeerageo03coka/page/216/ 216, line 7b]|ps=. "He was formerly monk in France, but, on his accession to the title, conformed to the established religion ..."}}}} In 1662 his father, Earl Clancarty, recovered his estates in the Act of Settlement. By 1664 Callaghan was a student at the Irish College in Toulouse.{{Sfn|Creighton|2009|loc=2nd paragraph|ps=. "He entered a seminary in the late 1650s ... and by 1664 he was a student at the Irish college at Toulouse."}} This was a small school with historic links to Munster. It never had more than 12 students.{{Sfn|Boyle|1910|p=[https://archive.org/details/catholicencyclo02unkngoog/page/161/ 161]|ps=. "At Toulouse the number of students never exceeded ten or twelve and chiefly natives of the Province of Munster."}}

On 4 March 1665, the Second Anglo-Dutch War broke out. Three months into the war, on 3 June 1665 O.S., his brother Charles, Lord Muskerry, was killed on the flagship, the Royal Charles, in the Battle of Lowestoft, the first major naval engagement of the war and an English victory. His brother had an infant son, also named Charles, who succeeded him as heir apparent and Viscount of Muskerry. However, their father, the 1st Earl, died two months later, on 4 August 1665,{{Sfn|Cokayne|1913|p=[https://archive.org/details/completepeerageo03coka/page/215/ 215, line 6]|ps=. "He [the 1st Earl] d. in London, 4 Aug. 1665."}} and the younger Charles succeeded as the 2nd Earl of Clancarty. The 2nd Earl died about a year later, on 22 September 1666, still an infant.{{Sfn|Cokayne|1913|p=[https://archive.org/details/completepeerageo03coka/page/216/ 216, line 4]|ps=. "... d. [died] an infant, 22 Sep. 1666."}}{{Efn|The 2nd Earl's date of death seems to be in dispute. This text follows the more recent publication, Cokayne (1913), which gives 22 September 1666,{{Sfn|Cokayne|1913|p=[https://archive.org/details/completepeerageo03coka/page/216/ 216, line 4]|ps=. "... d. [died] an infant, 22 Sep. 1666."}} whereas Burke (1866) gives 1668.{{Sfn|Burke|1866|p=[https://archive.org/details/agenealogicalhi00burkgoog/page/n360/ 344, right column, line 42]|ps=. "Charles, 2nd earl, who d. [died] a child, in 1668, and was s. [succeeded] by his uncle Callaghan, 3rd Earl."}}}}

At this point Justin, the third son, expected to succeed as 3rd Earl, as Callaghan, being in holy orders, would be passed over, but Callaghan hearing of the opening of the succession decided to claim the title. He left his college at Toulouse and returned to Ireland, where he conformed to the established religion, leaving the Catholic Church and joining the Protestant Church of Ireland. He therefore succeeded as the 3rd Earl of Clancarty.{{Sfn|Cokayne|1913|p=[https://archive.org/details/completepeerageo03coka/page/216/ 216, line 7b]|ps=. "He was formerly monk in France, but, on his accession to the title, conformed to the established religion ..."}}

In 1667 Lord Clancarty, as he was now, married Elizabeth FitzGerald, sixth and youngest daughter of George FitzGerald, 16th Earl of Kildare and his wife Lady Joan Boyle.{{Sfn|Burke|1866|p=[https://archive.org/details/agenealogicalhi00burkgoog/page/n360/ 344, right column, line 49]|ps=. "[Callaghan] m. Lady Elizabeth FitzGerald, 6th and youngest daughter of George, Earl of Kildare ..."}}{{Sfn|Lodge|1789a|p=[https://archive.org/details/peerageirelando00archgoog/page/n148/ 104]|ps=. "Lady Elizabeth, first married to Callaghan, Earl of Clancarthy, who died 21 November 1676; and secondly to Sir William Davis, Chief Justice of the King's Bench, and died in July, 1698, having no issue by him, who died 24 September, 1687."}} The FitzGeralds were an Old English family whose ancestor came to Ireland during the Norman invasion of that country. His wife has been described as "a fierce Protestant isolated in a Catholic family".{{Sfn|Kenyon|1958|p=[https://archive.org/details/robertspencerear0000keny/page/102 102, line 8]|ps=. "His [the 4th earl's mother] mother, a fierce Protestant isolated in a Catholic family ..."}}

Callaghan and Elizabeth had one son:

1.

Clancarty died of a stroke ("Apoplexy") on 21 November 1676 in Dublin, aged about 38.{{Sfn|Cokayne|1913|p=[https://archive.org/details/completepeerageo03coka/page/216/ 216, line 12]|ps=.
