Ferrall (Co Roscommon)	In the early 19th century John Farrell or Ferrall acquired large tracts of land mainly in county Roscommon, including the Ormsby's Grange estate, parish of Kilbride, barony of Ballintober South and land belonging to the Lysters in the parish of Cam, barony of Athlone. John Ferrall died in 1823 and was succeeded by his nephew, Daniel Henry Ferrall. In 1828 Daniel Farrell was a member of the Grand Panel of county Roscommon. At the time of the first Ordnance Survey Mr Kincaid of Dublin was agent to some of Daniel Farrell's estate. Desmond Norton's book refers to letters concerning the administration of D.H. Ferrall's estates during the Famine period by Stewart and Kincaid, land agents. Joseph Kincaid held two townlands in the parish of Kilcooley, barony of Roscommon at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Daniel H. Ferrall died in 1853 and was succeeded by his four sisters and their descendants, the Nolan, Taaffe, Conmee and Irwin families. By the time of Griffith's Valuation the representatives of Daniel Ferrall held land in the parishes of Cam and Kiltoom, barony of Athlone, Kilcolagh, barony of Frenchpark, Baslick, barony of Castlereagh, Cloonygormican, barony of Ballymoe, Kilglass, barony of Ballintober North, Kilteevan, Kilbride and Roscommon, barony of Ballintober South, Killukin, barony of Boyle and Bumlin, Kilcooley, Ogulla, barony of Roscommon. In June 1859 over 10,000 acres in counties Sligo and Roscommon, belonging to Louisa Bridget Taaffe, wife of Edmond Taaffe, Henry Taaffe Ferrall and John Nolan Ferrall, were advertised for sale. Lands in the barony of Corran, county Sligo, the property of John Ferrall, were offered for sale in December 1859. Unsold parts of the county Roscommon estate were advertised for sale again on 24 June 1862 and again in February 1863. Over 1,200 acres of the same estate in the barony of Castlereagh were offered for sale in May 1867 and 1,800 acres of the Frenchpark part of the estate in April 1868 and February 1869. Again in July 1875 over 900 acres of the Ferrall estate in the barony of Frenchpark was advertised for sale. In the 1870s Major Henry Taaffe Ferrall of Moylurg, Boyle, owned 5,140 acres in county Roscommon. In 1906 Beechwood was occupied by Clare M. Nolan who also held untenanted lands mainly in the parish of Kilteevan, barony of Ballintober South. Over 1,200 acres belonging to Clare M. Nolan were vested in the Congested Districts' Board on 25 June 1912.
Dundas	In the early 1760s the Dundas family purchased an estate in counties Roscommon and Sligo from the King family, Earls of Kingston. Richard Underwood was the agent in the 1760s. By 1793 the Dundas estate amounted to 2,892 acres in county Roscommon and 17,244 acres in county Sligo. A large part of the estate was offered for sale in 1809. Thomas Faris was agent in the early 19th century. In the mid nineteenth century the Dundas estate in Sligo was centred on the parish of Kilmactranny close to the border with county Roscommon. The family are also recorded as lessors in the nearby parish of Boyle at the time of Griffith's Valuation. At the time of the first Ordnance Survey the townland of Granny in the parish of Estersnow, barony of Boyle, was noted as part of the Dundas estate. In 1857 the land agents Stewart and Kincaid compiled a report on the estate of the Earl of Zetland in counties Roscommon and Sligo. The Dundas family are not recorded as owners in Roscommon in the 1870s.
Kincaid (Donegal)	In the 1870s Reverend John Kincaid was recorded as the proprietor of almost 700 acres in county Donegal, including lands in the parish of Drumhome, Barony of Tirhugh. He was the Rector of Drumhome parish for many years. His brother, Joseph Kincaid, became a partner in the estate agents’ company of Stewart and Kincaid.
Batty (Ballyhealy)	This family were settled at Ballyhealy, Castletowndevlin, county Westmeath from the late 17th century. Charles Batty married Margaret Espine and died in 1737. Their son Philip married twice, to Catherine Barry and Louisa Nugent of Clonlost. By Catherine he had six sons and a daughter. Philip was High Sheriff of Westmeath in 1788. Two of his sons were slave owners in Jamaica while another was a clergyman, Reverend Edward Batty. Reverend Edward’s second wife was Catherine, daughter of John Kincaid. The firm of Stewart and Kincaid were agents for the Ballyhealy estate. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation [publ. 1854] Reverend Edward Batty was a principal lessor in the parish of Castletowndevlin. According to Burke's 1858 edition, the Ballyhealy estate was transferred to him in 1853. His estate amounting to 1,504 acres was for sale in November 1858 but he was still the owner of 1,215 acres in the mid-1870s.
