Levinge (Co Roscommon)
The Levinges of New Park, county Roscommon and Levington Park, county Westmeath were a junior branch of the Levinge family Baronets, descending from younger sons of the 4th Baronet. In the mid-nineteenth century Mark Anthony Levinge of New Park was occupying over 900 acres held from Daniel Molloy in the parish of Enniscoffy, county Westmeath. In the 1870s Marcus Anthony Levinge of Carnagh, Kiltoom, Athlone, county Roscommon and Enniscoffey House, Miltownpass, county Westmeath, owned 794 acres in county Roscommon and smaller acreages in counties Westmeath and Meath, while his cousin Richard William Chaworth Levinge of Levington Park owned 87 acres. Richard C. Levinge was also recorded as the owner of over 300 acres in County Longford. Marcus A Levinge may have bought some of his county Roscommon lands from the sale of the Smyth estate in 1860. His county Roscommon estate was in the parishes of Kiltoom and St. Johns, barony of Athlone. By the early 20th century he was residing at New Park.
