Place & story
Moynoe House and the Sampsons
The Landed Estates project locates Moynoe House in Carrowmore townland, within Moynoe parish. Sir John Reade occupied it in 1814, and Fitzgibbon Hinchy was living there in 1837. At Griffith’s Valuation the house was unoccupied, with Thomas Wadson recorded as immediate lessor. The Sampson family subsequently lived there into the twentieth century. Around 1944, Edward MacLysaght surveyed papers belonging to Miss Mary Sampson of Moynoe, connecting the house with a documented family archive. The project records the house’s demolition in 1998, without identifying the earlier vacancy as its end. [2]
