Carden (Barnane)
Arthur E. Carden has written a very detailed history of this family who acquired Barnane, county Tipperary, in the late 17th century and sold it to the Irish Land Commission in 1908. At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Carden held an estate in the parishes of Drom and Loughmoe West, barony of Eliogarty and Barnane Ely and Killea, barony of Ikerrin. Lands belonging to John Rutter Carden in the barony of Eliogarty and held from James Napier Webb were advertised for sale in February 1864. The sale was adjourned to May of the same year. John Rutter Carden, the rather eccentric "Woodcock" Carden, is remembered for his famous attempt to abduct Miss Eleanor Arbuthnot in 1854. In the 1870s Andrew Carden of Barnane owned 2,709 acres in county Tipperary. In 1890 over 700 acres owned by Sir John Carden was offered for sale in the Land Judges' Court.
