Galway (Doon)
By the mid 19th century Edward Galway was living at Doon, close to the border between counties Clare and Galway. He was the son of John Galway and his wife Alice Butler of Castlekeale, county Clare. He held the house and the townland of Doon from George Wyndham. In the 1870s a Miss Galway of Doon, county Limerick [probably a mistake] owned 617 acres in county Clare.
