Barton (Carrickmacross)
An estate of scattered parts in the baronies of Dartrey, Monaghan and Cremorne, county Monaghan, was granted to Edward Carey in the 1650s and in the late 17th century sold to William Barton of Thomastown, county Louth. Most of it was in the hands of new proprietors by the 1770s. By the time of the war 1688-1689 William Barton was leasing part of Carrickmacross from the Thynne and Shirley families who had inherited the Earl of Essex's estate in that locality. William Barton represented county Monaghan in Parliament in 1692, 1695 and 1703. Barton's daughter married Richard Tennison and the Lough Bawn part of the estate passed to the Tenison family.
