Peppard (Cappagh)
The Peppards were resident at Cappagh, county Limerick, from the early 18th century. They do not appear to have owned a large acreage but they were a prominent family in the locality. John Peppard held land in the parish of Ballingarry, barony of Connello Upper, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Two members of the Peppard family of Salestown, Dunboyne, county Meath, owned 371 acres in county Limerick in the 1870s.
