Grove
The Grove estate in Tireragh seems to have associated with the Grove family of County Donegal. James Grove, of Castlegrove, county Donegal, was the owner of over 500 acres in county Sligo in the 1870s. This may be through the marriage of Dorothea Grove to John Wood, son of James Wood, of Woodville, county Sligo, in 1802.
