Ryan (Scarteen)
The Ryan family were settled at Ballyvistea, county Tipperary, close to the county Limerick border from the end of the 17th century and before the end of the 18th century were also located at Scarteen in county Limerick. The sale rental for the Ryves estate dated 30 March 1852 records a lease of Scarteen and Rathgullane from William Ryves to Thaddeus Richard Ryan, dated 17 July 1840. John Ryan is recorded in Griffith's Valuation as holding land in the county Limerick parishes of Kilteely, barony of Coonagh and Ballyscadden and Knocklong, barony of Coshlea. His widow Alice Ryan of Scarteen owned 50 acres in county Limerick in the 1870s. For many years the Ryan family have been associated with the Scarteen Foxhounds.
