O'Hara
The estates of the Barons Tyrawley were in the baronies of Gallen and Tirawley, county Mayo and included the Manor of Belleek at Ballina, which Charles O'Hara purchased with the Abbeys of Rosserk, Straide, Moyne and Rathfran from the trustees for the sale of some of the estates of Charles Boyle, 3rd Earl of Cork and 2nd Earl of Burlington on 17 Mar 1704/5. In a later sale on 24 July 1705 he bought Knockmore, county Sligo. Most of the land of the Barons Tyrawley was let on long leases or for lives renewable for ever to such families as the Knoxes and Gores. Charles O'Hara and his son James, both held the title Baron Tyrawley in the 18th century and were distinguished soldiers and diplomats.
