Nagle (Jamestown)
In the mid-nineteenth century the representatives of Sir Richard Nagle, 2nd Baronet (1800-1850) of Jamestown, County Westmeath, held six townlands in the parish of Ardnurcher and some land in the parish of Kilcumrereagh. Sir Richard was the son of the first baronet and his wife Mary Bridget, daughter and heiress of Owen Geoghegan of Rosemount and Ballybrickogue. Sir Richard represented the county in Parliament and was High Sheriff. Neither he nor his younger brother were married. In November 1851 The Gentlemen’s Magazine states that due to the many mortgages on his estate it was sold two or three years previously. John Ennis was in possession of Jamestown a few years later. Griffith’s Valuation records John J Nugent as the occupier of Ballybrickoge. In 1837 Lady Nagle was resident at Rosemount.
