The representatives of Thomas R.T, Irwin held lands at Harristown, parish of Kilshalvy and barony of Corran at the time of Griffith's Valuation. This property was offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court in January 1858 and February 1860. The original lease, dated 1777, was between William Phibbs and Henry Irwin. The property was offered for sale again in the Landed Estates Court in June 1865 by John Cogan, brother of James Cogan, who had purchased it under the earlier sale.
