Butcher
Samuel Butcher was leasing the Danesfort estate from the Colthurst family in the nineteenth century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the Reverend Samuel Butcher was leasing land from the Earl of Shannon in the parish of Clonmeen, barony of Duhallow, county Cork. In June 1863 the 733 acre estate of Samuel Butcher, Richard George Butcher, John Barlow Butcher, Arthur Butcher and of their trustees at Kilmackarane , barony of Duhallow, was advertised for sale. In the 1870s the Right Reverend Dr Butcher of Ardbraccan House, Navan, owned 733 acres in county Cork. Property in county Kerry owned by Dr Butcher was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court in November 1874 but the sale was adjourned due to insufficient bidding.
