Richard Hutchins of Blackrock, near Bantry, county Cork, was appointed a Poll Tax Commissioner by William III. In 1759 his great grandson, Thomas Hutchins, married Elinor, daughter of Arthur Hutchins of Cregane Castle, county Limerick, and they had 21 children. Their descendants were residing at Ardnagashel, near Bantry, by the beginning of the 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation their grandson Samuel Hutchins held townlands in the parishes of Caheragh, barony of West Carbery (West), Kilnamanagh, barony of Bear, Kilmocomoge, barony of Bantry, Rathgoggan, barony of Orrery and Kilmore, Ballyvourney, barony of West Muskerry, Grenagh, barony of Barretts and Ballyhay, barony of Fermoy. In May 1857 lands held by Samuel Hutchins at Donemark and Dromedaniel (546 acres), barony of Bantry, county Cork and at Cregane (972 acres), barony of Coshma, county Limerick, were advertised for sale. The Hutchins estate, amounting to 4,905 acres held in fee in the baronies of Barretts, West Muskerry, Orrery and Kilmore, Fermoy, West Carbery (East), was advertised for sale in June 1871. Emmanuel Hutchins was the owner of over 7500 acres in county Cork and some property in county Westmeath in the 1870s. He also held 1,734 acres around Ballyhaise, county Cavan through a connection with the Newburgh family. This property was for sale in April 1877. In November 1887, Arthur and Elizabeth Hutchins offered property at Ballylickey, Bantry, county Cork and in Dublin city for sale in the Land Judges' Court. Two lots of this were sold to Mary Anne Murphy in June 1888. The interest in other property owned by Arthur Hutchins was sold in July of that year. The purchasers included Samuel Hutchins of Charleville, a Mr. Hutchins of Dublin and H. Payne of Beechmount, Upton, county Cork. In 1906 Emmanuel's brother Samuel Hutchins still owned over 500 acres of untenanted land in the parish of Kilnamangh, barony of Bear. Members of the Hutchins family were still residing in the Bantry area in the mid 20th century.

Newburgh (Ballyhaise)
|
Grants under the Acts of Settlement record a grant of 973 aces in county Cavan to Samuel Battaley in February 1666/7 which Battaley then sold to Thomas Newburgh of Ballyhaise, by deed dated 24 October 1667, for £500. Broghill Newburgh inherited the Ballyhaise estate in county Cavan in the very early 18th century. He was the second son of Thomas Newburgh and his wife Mary, daughter of Brockhill Taylor of Ballyhaise. He was High Sheriff of the county in 1704 and for more than ten years represented the county in Parliament. He developed his estate, laid out plans for the town and built the castle. His son Arthur worked for the linen board and married Florence Cole. Their eldest son Brockhill Newburgh had two children, a son Arthur and a daughter Frances who married Hamilton Haire. In May 1800 Arthur Newburgh was killed in a duel with James Corry. He was aged about 30 and married to Eliza Marianne, daughter and heiress of Jacob Camac of Greenmount, county Louth, and of the East India Company. Following Arthur Newburgh’s death in 1800 much of the estate was sold to William Humphrys, a Dublin merchant. However, in the mid-19th century Arthur Robert Camac Newburgh, born 1798, still held ten townlands in the parish of Castleterra, county Cavan. One of his sisters was married to Samuel Hutchins of Ardnagashel, Bantry, county Cork. In the mid-1870s, Arthur Newburgh was the owner of 1,563 acres in county Cavan. He was an officer in the Life Guards and lived in later life at Bantry, county Cork. He died in 1875 and is buried in Garryvurcha graveyard, Bantry. See Anglo-Celt, 12 April 1850 - Article entitled ‘History of Ballyhaise’ and https://theirishaesthete.com/category/cavan/page/2/ The estate was for sale in the Land Judges' Court in April 1877.
