Bayley (Rookwood)
|
Sarah Kelly left her Rookwood estate, which straddled the border of counties Galway and Roscommon, to her nephew Robert Preston Bayley. The representatives of Robert P. Bayley of Rookwood, Athleague, owned over 2000 acres in county Roscommon in the 1870s as well as several hundred acres in counties Galway and Westmeath. It continued in the possession of Robert Bayley's descendants until bought by the Land Commission in 1941.
Colonel Edward Bayley, of Ballyarthur, County Wicklow, was the owner of over 600 acres in County Westmeath in the 1870s.
