Beasley
Ruddy writes that Kilburry belonged to the Cleare family until the mid 18th century when it passed by marriage to the Parsons family of Birr. In 1792 Kilburry East was sold by the Parsons to Richard Beasley of Dublin. Henry Meagher was the tenant. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Misses Harriet and Olivia Beasley held 3 townlands in the parish of Ardmayle, barony of Middlethird and William Beasley held land in the parish of Cloneen, barony of Slievardagh, county Tipperary. In the 1870s Miss Olivia Beasley of Ardmoyle, Cashel, owned 771 acres and William Beasley, no address given, owned 413 acres in county Tipperary.
