Marshall (County Kerry)
John Marshall, son of Robert, assignee to Sir William Petty, was granted 58,701 acres in the barony of Iveragh, county Kerry in 1686. The Marshall family held lands in the parish of Currans, barony of Trughanacmy, until the 1840s. Richard John Marshall was the owner of over 5600 acres in county Kerry in the 1870s. Bary states that the Callanafersy estate was inherited by Richard John Leeson, a descendent of the Leesons of Russborough, county Wicklow. He assumed the additonal name of Marshall from his uncle, who had been leasing these lands from the Godfreys to whom he was related.
