At the time of Griffith's Valuation the representatives of Arthur Joseph French held townlands in the parishes of Elphin, Killukin and Kilcooley, barony and county of Roscommon. This estate appears to have come into the possession of Christopher Copinger, who advertised it for sale in the Landed Estates' Court in May 1862. [In the 1870s Arthur French of Johnstown, Naas, county Kildare, owned 1,570 acres in county Roscommon and 1,706 in county Sligo.]
