Daniel (Lough Ree Lodge)
This family descend from Nicholas, second son of Gerald or Garret Daniel who held land in the barony of Burrishoole, county Mayo, in the late seventeenth century. In 1762, his son John married Dorcas, daughter and heiress of Thomas Auchmuty of Bryanstown, county Longford. Their grandson William Henry purchased Auburn in 1848. Later he resided at Lough Ree Lodge, Glasson, county Westmeath. William Henry’s father George Daniell K.C. had purchased land in Kilkenny West from John Dorrington Hackett. Although William H Daniell was the immediate lessor of several townlands in each of the parishes of Bunowen, Kilkenny West and Noughavel, county Westmeath in the mid-nineteenth century, he is recorded as only owning 355 acres in 1876. Most of his estate in county Westmeath was sold in the Encumbered Estates Court on three sale days - 7 February 1856 when 1,409 acres were on offer including the house Auburn, 18 June 1856 and on 22 January 1857.
