Connolly
The Connolly family leased lands from the Johnston estate in Kinlough and there is some suggestion that they acted in the capacity of agents for them. In 1861 the house and demesne at Mount Prospect as well as other lands were offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court by Stephen Johnston.
