Nolan (Lisnaneane)
The Nolan estate was in the parishes of Cloonfinlough, Kilcooley and Killukin, barony and county of Roscommon in the mid 1850s. In the 1870s Robert Nolan of Lisnaneane, Tulsk, owned 569 acres in the county. Gormley writes that Robert Nolan was the nephew of Catherine Lavinia O'Conor, widow of Dominick O'Conor Don [Burke's Irish Family Records states that he died unmarried in 1795] and eventually inherited Lisnaneane following her death. He records that the father of Robert Nolan of Lisnaneane was a Nolan from Queensfort, near Tuam. The Irish Land Commission eventually acquired the estate.
