In the mid 1770s the estate of Gamaliel Magrath of Redmondstown was worth £1,500. He was married to the daughter of Windham Quin of Adare, county Limerick (Kilboy Papers). In the mid 19th century William Quinn held an estate in the parishes of Ardfinnan, Caher, Derrygrath and Rochestown, barony of Iffa and Offa West, county Tipperary. He married Ellen, daughter of Brook Brazier of Mitchell's Fort, county Tipperary, and died in 1869. The fee farm rent of £336, the estate of William Quinn, due from lands in the barony of Slievardagh amounting to 2,383 acres, was advertised for sale in May 1871.
