Babington
In 1679 Thomas Babington was granted 813 acres in the barony of Carbery, county Cork. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Thomas Babington held land in the parish of Aughrim, barony and county of Roscommon. He appears to have bought the Begg interest in these lands which were held from the Trustees of Simpson's Hospital. Thomas Babington of 72 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin is mentioned on the sale rental of the Begg estate. In the 1870s Thomas Babington of Dame Street, Dublin and Cork owned 396 acres in county Roscommon and 552 acres in county Cork.
