Wallnutt
in 1854 John Sampson leased to Charles Wallnutt over 4,000 acres of Turkenagh and Poulagouna mountains, parish of Moynoe, barony of Tulla Upper, county Clare. By the early 1860s Charles Wallnutt was bankrupt and his estate advertised for sale in the Landed Estates' Court. It included Springfield House, Ballyminogue, barony of Tulla Upper. Other properties at Castlebank, parish of St Patricks and Henrystown, North Liberties, Limerick, the estate of Thomas Wallnutt, were advertised for sale in February 1863. There are references to the Walnutt family of Thomond Gate in the sale of the distillery premises in 1868.
