The Husseys held property in the parish of Drum by the mid 1730s. In the mid 1740s Andrew Bermingham leased his quarter of the Moore estate to his brother-in-law Thomas Hussey. Thomas Hussey of Moynure died in 1761 and was succeeded by his son John. It was John's daughter Margaret who married Patrick Walsh in 1787.
