Palliser (Longford)
Colonel Wray Palliser was among the principal lessors in the parishes of Taghsheenod, barony of Moydow, Clonbroney, barony of Granard and Moydow, barony of Moydow, County Longford, at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s. Colonel Palliser offered his Longford estate for sale in the Landed Estates Court in 1862. Burke asserts that the Palliser family derives from that of Bury, Earls of Charleville, as John Bury, of Shannon Grove, County Limerick married Jane, daughter of William Palliser, Archbishop of Cashel, in 1722. Their descendent, Charles William Bury, was created Earl of Charleville, Tullamore in 1806.
