Place & story
Elizabeth Croghan’s grant
The Earl of Essex made a fee-farm grant to Elizabeth Croghan on 26 June 1851 covering Tonlegee, Rathconor and Smaghraan, according to the Landed Estates Database. The interest was later advertised for sale by James Croghan, a minor and Edward Croghan’s heir, with Christopher Hume Lawder acting as assignee of the deceased Charles Croghan. The database gives a combined area of 1,958 acres and names Patrick and Charles O’Conor and William McLoughlin as possessing the lands at Griffith’s Valuation. This total belongs to the three-townland property, rather than the whole parish. [2]
