Earbery
In 1703 the purchase by Matthias Erberry of Ballincollig, county Cork, of the lands of Cahirbaroole, barony of Muskerry, part of the estate of the Earl of Clancarty, was enrolled. By the beginning of the 18th century Matthias Earbery was leasing land in the parish of Donaghmore, barony of East Muskerry, county Cork, from the family of Bishop Crowe of Cloyne, county Cork. O'Connell writes that by 1786 Christopher Earberry held 6 townlands in the locality and that Timothy Mahoney had become his agent. An attack was perpertraited against Mahoney by Whiteboys in December 1788 which led to three executions. The Earbery estate passed by marriage to the Crofton family of Inchinappa, county Wicklow.
