Name	Description
Shaw (Newford)	The Shaw family held land and premises in the towns of Athenry and Galway in the early 18th century. Their residence appears to have been at Newford, in the parish and barony of Athenry. The family were connected through marriage with the Gregory family of Coole, as Henry Gregory, who had originally owned land in Limerick, married Mary Shawe in the early 18th century. Their son Robert purchased the Coole estate in the 1760s.
Croasdaile	The Croasdaile family had acquired property in the parish of Kilconickny, barony of Dunkellin, county Galway through the marriage of Thomas Croasdaile and a member of the Waddington family of Cloghstoken/Cloghastookeen in the 17th century. This estate was part of the property of the Miller family of Milford, barony of Kilmaine, county Mayo in the 19th century. The Croasdailes also bought land in the barony of Leitrim, county Galway, from the sale of part of the estate of Colonel John Browne of Westport, county Mayo at the end of the 17th century. Thomas Croasdaile of Cloghstoken also bought nearly 2,000 Irish acres in the barony of Tulla, county Clare in 1705 from Charles Boyle, 3rd Earl of Cork. He married Mercy Ringrose of Moynoe, Scarriff, county Clare and left a number of daughters as his heiresses.
