McMunn
The McMunn estate was centred on Belville House, near Dromore West, in the barony of Tireragh. In the 1870s, Robert McMunn of Belville owned over 500 acres and James, of Seafield, over 200 acres in county Sligo. Two lots of lands at Belville, an estate owned by William Ruttledge "in remainder expectant on the death of Mrs Margaret McMunn" were sold in the Landed Estates Court in November 1867. The purchaser was Robert McMunn.
