The Odell/O'Dell family were established at Ballingarry, county Limerick from the late 17th century. Major John Odell was granted 1,679 acres in the county in 1667. A branch of the family was living at Fortwilliam or Bealdurogy, just north of Ballingarry by the 1720s. The Odells intermarried with members of the Fitzmaurice family Earls of Kerry, and also with the Fennell, Crone, Bayly, Scanlan and Westropp families. By the 19th century they had a number of residences in the Ballingarry locality. At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Odell held land in the parishes of Rathkeale, barony of Connello Lower, Ballingarry and Cloncagh, barony of Connello Upper, county Limerick. Some of the Odell estate was held by the Court of Chancery at this time. Land belonging to Isabella O'Dell, devisee of James Condon (Scart) at Cappagh and the Well Farm, Ardgoulmore, barony of Connello Lower was advertised for sale in July 1853 and February 1856.
