Place & story

Occupants and a later sale

The University of Galway’s Landed Estates record places Michael Connor at Kilgarvan in 1814 and E. Cambie there in 1837. Solomon R. Cambie held the property in fee at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. The Cambies sold Kilgarvan to the Reeves in the 1870s. The record documents successive occupants and that later transfer without establishing when the house was built. [2]
