Bushe
Colonel John Bushe, originally from Somerset, was granted lands at Kilfane in county Kilkenny following the Cromwellian settlement. His descendent, Henry Amyas Bushe, inherited the Gumbleton of Glencairn estate through his marriage with Lavinia Gumbleton. Their son Gervase (or Jervis) was the owner of over 600 acres at Glencairn as well as over 1700 acres at Kilfane in the 1870s.
