Moffett
Hussey de Burgh records Reverend Robert Moffett, 'incumbent of Kiltiernan, Dublin' as the owner of almost 500 acres in County Longford in the 1870s as well as smaller amounts of property in Dublin and Kings County. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s he was among the lessors of property in the parish of Ballymacormick, barony of Moydow, County Longford. In 1861 Mary Jane Armstrong offered for sale the rental of property in the baronies of Ardagh and Longford, in which her mother, Frances Eliza Moffett, held a life interest.
