Lysaght (Ballykeel)
|
Cecil Stacpoole Kenny gives a detailed account of the family history of this family in MS 2110, National Library of Ireland. He refers to Andrew Lysaght of Kilcornan and Summerville, a noted duellist, who married Mary Finucane, a sister of the Honourable Mathias Finucane of Ennistymon. Andrew Lysaght died in 1782 and his only daughther and heiress married George Stacpoole of Cragbrien in 1767. Weir writes that the Lysaghts of Kilcornan and Ballyvorda, county Clare were closely related and that James Lysaght of Kilcornan had a son Frank Ruadh Lysaght, reputedly a leading United Irishman. Burke's Irish Family Records refers to Walter Lysaght, another son of James, who married Lucinda Stacpoole daughter of George Hogan Stacpoole of Cragbrien in the early 19th century. They lived at Summerville, parish of Killaspuglonane, barony of Corcomroe, in the early 19th century. The Lysaghts were resident at Ballyvorda from the early 19th century and at the time of Griffith's Valuation Andrew Lysaght held land in the parishes of Kilmoon, barony of Burren and Kilfenora, barony of Corcomroe. In the 1870s the representatives of Andrew Lysaght of Ballyvourdan, Liscannor, owned 933 acres in county Clare.

Weir writes that George Lysaght lived at Woodmount, parish of Kilmanaheen, county Clare, in the late 18th century and that the house and trees were destroyed at the end of the century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation George Lysaght held 5 townlands in the parish of Kilcorney, barony of Bureen and also land in the parishes of Kitoraght and Kilmanaheen barony of Corcomroe. In 1854 he advertised Croagh South for sale and in 1858 Woodmount. In the 1870s George Lysaght of Rathmines, Dublin, owned 663 acres in county Clare. The estate of George Lysaght and George Lingard Lysaght in the parish of Kilcorney, barony of Burren, amounting to about 700 acres was advertised for sale in November 1877.
