Kelly (Kellysgrove)
James Kealy, son and heir of William Kealy, was granted 612 acres at Kealye's Grove by patent dated 30 Feb 1678/9. The estate of William James Kelly, at Kellysgrove, Ahascragh, barony of Clonmacnowen, was offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates court in December 1850. In November 1884 the Irish Times reported that the lands of Kellysgrove had been offered for sale by the owner, John Bolton, but that the sale was adjourned due to lack of bidding.
