Monck

The Monck family came to Ireland in the 17th century and through advantageous marriages had acquired by the mid 18th century the Grange Gorman and Charleville estates in counties Dublin and Wicklow. Charles Stanley Monck who was created Viscount Monck in 1801 married his cousin Anne daughter of Henry Quin MD and possibly through this marriage acquired some land in county Limerick. The Monck Papers, Collection List 4, in the National Library of Ireland show the Moncks holding land in that county in the first half of the 19th century, some of it located in the parish of Croagh, barony of Connello Lower. However the Moncks are not listed in Griffith's Valuation for county Limerick.
