Mair
Maria daugher of Philip Cross of Cronody and Shandy Hall, county Cork married Peter Mair in the 1780s. Some of the Mairs children were born in Ireland and they eventually lived at Hill House, Richmond, Yorkshire. One of their sons Cornelius Philip Cuyler Mair appears to have inherited or acquired some of the Cross estate in county Cork. He was a military man reaching the rank of Lieutenant General and died at Bognor, Sussex in 1868. The fee simple and freehold estates of Cornelius Philip Cuyler Mair in the baronies of East Muskerry and Kinalmeaky, town of Bandon and city of Cork, plus tithes of parish of Aglish were advertised for sale in May 1858. Griffith's Valuation records Colonel Cuyler Meyer holding some land in the parish of Mourneabbey, barony of Barretts. see http://www.archive.org/stream/visitationofengl09howa/visitationofengl09howa_djvu.txt
