In his will dated 20 Aug 1767 James Crowe of Dublin leaves the lands of Nutfield otherwise Drumconora, county Clare and the other lands purchased from the trustees of Mrs Leslie to his eldest son Robert. He also refers to the purchase of named lands from Charles McDonnell, the Earl of Inchiquin, Sir Lucius O'Brien and Anthony Wolfe. Some of these lands are included in the sale of the 2,973 acre estate of Arthur Cecil Fleming Crowe and others on 2 August 1850 in the Encumbered Estates Court. The Reverend James Rynd was the petitioner. He was married to Eliza daughter of Robert Crowe Fleming of Nutfield. Rosslevan was included in this sale and the Reverend Rynd was the immediate lessor of Rosslevan at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Cornelius O'Brien bought about 1,700 acres of the Crowe estate in the early 1850s. Dorothea Tottenham is recorded as the daughter and heiress of George Crowe in the Tottenaham entry in Burke's ''Irish Family Records''. In 1814 she married Charles Tottenham of Glenfarne Hall, county Leitrim. At the time of Griffith's Valuation she held land in the parishes of Templemaley, barony of Bunratty Upper and Tulla, barony of Tulla Upper.
