Croghan (Kilbride)
In 1749 Charles Croghan and Luke Croghan were both resident in the parish of Kilbride and Owen Croghan in the parish of Boyle. In 1778 a Croghan residence is marked on the Taylor and Skinner map at Ardmore, parish of Dunamon, barony of Ballymoe, county Roscommon. In the mid 19th century the Croghans held land from the Earl of Essex in the parish of Kilbride, barony of Ballintober South, county Roscommon. The rental of the lands of Tonlegee, Rathconor and Smaghraan, held under a fee farm grant dated 26 June 1851 from the Earl to Elizabeth Croghan, was advertised for sale by James Croghan a minor and heir of Edward Croghan and Christopher Hume Lawder assignee of Charles Croghan, deceased. These lands amounting to 1,958 acres were in the possession of Patrick and Charles O'Conor and William McLoughlin at the time of Griffith's Valuation.
