Lloyd (Lisheen, Co Tipperary)
From his will dated 1770 it is evident that John Lloyd bought Lisheen, parish of Moyne, county Tipperary, from George Grace and left it to his fifth son, Frederick Lloyd, also of Ballymacrease, county Limerick. Frederick's son, John, inherited Lisheen and married Catherine Rotton of Bath, England. She died in 1853 and the following year John Lloyd emigrated to Canada with his new wife. His son, Charles John, succeeded to the estate and died in 1887. In the mid 19th century the Lisheen estate was located in the parishes of Moyne and Templemore, barony of Eliogarty. In the 1870s Charles John Lloyd of Lisheen Castle owned 1,758 acres in county Tipperary. The estate was sold to the tenants in the first decade of the 20th century. The family retained the castle and 143 acres. http://www.lisheencastle.com/?page_id=5
