In August 1666, the confiscated estate of Ballyconnell, 3,667 acres in county Cavan, was granted to Captain Thomas Gwyllym, a soldier in Cromwell's army. Thomas Gwyllym died in 1681 and he was succeeded by his son Colonel Meredith Gwyllym. The Colonel had one child Meredith, who died unmarried. In 1724 the Ballyconnell estate was sold to Colonel Alexander Montgomery of Convoy House, county Donegal.
