Latham
In the mid 19th century Oliver Leatham/Latham held land in the parishes of Ballysheehan and Brickendown, while William Latham held land in the parishes of Magowry and Peppardstown, barony of Middlethird, county Tipperary. William Hamilton Latham of Ballysheehan House, was the son of William Latham and Anne Pennefather. In June 1850 the estate of William Hamilton Latham and Hamilton Lowe Latham, comprised of about 300 acres of Everardsgrange, Castle Crump etc in the barony of Middlethird and premises in the town of Fethard, was advertised for sale. These lands had passed to William H. Latham after the death of Mrs Hamilton Lowe. In June 1854 the lands of Magowry and part of Corbally, 651 acres in the barony of Middlethird, the estate of 'William Hamilton Latham and others" were advertised for sale. The sale was postponed until October. These lands were held on leases from Hamilton Lowe to Mary Strang dated 1809 and to Mathew Latham dated 1792 for the lives of Mathew and his two sons Oliver and Mathew Latham. John Mullally held a mortgage on the lands for money lent to William Hamilton Latham. http://newsarch.rootsweb.com/th/read/IRL-TIPPERARY/2007-08/1187744615
