Hague/Heague
At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Heague held the townland of Cloonahee, parish of Clooncraff, barony of Roscommon, in fee. He had previously leased Cloonahee from Gilbert Conry, lease dated 14 May 1836. The Conry estate was advertised for sale in February 1853. John Heague also held land in the parishes of Creeve and Kilcooley (from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and from the representatives of Henry French). The Heagues held valuable properties in the town of Strokestown in the mid 1850s. In 1876 John Hague of Cloonahee owned 123 acres in county Roscommon. Hussey de Burgh records him as the owner of 693 acres. Richard Hague was negotiating with the Congested Districts' Board in 1916.
