Onge

In 1787 Elizabeth Onge, eldest daughter of Abel Onge married George Massey, a younger son of the 1st Baron Massy. The Onges were a merchant family of Dublin, who resided at Hayestown, county Dublin, in the 18th and 19th centuries. Another Abel Onge married Catherine, daughter of Robert Persse of Roxborough, Loughrea, county Galway, [circa 1830]. In 1854 Maria Louisa, eldest daughter of Abel Onge, married Thomas F. Eastwood at Moyard, county Galway. On 17 June 1853 James Napper Webb leased the lands of Whitefield or Garranbane in the parish of Loughmoe West, barony of Eliogarty, county Tipperary, to Dive Onge and his wife Rebecca nee Irvine. The Onges sold their interest to Nicholas J. Harrison in 1852, who advertised the lands for sale in June 1871. In June 1858 the estate of Rebecca Onge and Dive Onge, about 700 acres in the parish of Loughmoe East, barony of Eliogarty, county Tipperary, was advertised for sale.
