Steuart (Bailieborough)
In the early 17th century an estate was granted to a Scotsman, William Bailie, by James I. The estate passed down through his descendants to James Hamilton, who sold the estate in 1724 to Major Charles Steuart. It was inherited on his death in 1740 by his son William Steuart, High Sheriff of county Cavan in 1749. Following the death of William’s son Charles in 1795 it passed to Charles’ nephew Thomas Charles Steuart Corry of Rockcorry, county Monaghan, who sold it to William Young in 1814.
