Place & story
Separate properties on the Lorton estate
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates record places Kingsland in Kilnamanagh parish. At Griffith’s Valuation, John Conmee leased a property valued at £12 from Viscount Lorton’s estate; the record traces his possession back to at least 1814. Matthew Conmee held a separate property in the same townland, valued at £6, together with 190 acres. Both were tenants of the Lorton estate. The acreage belongs to Matthew’s holding in the account, rather than being a stated area for John’s property. [2]
