| Molyneux (Co Limerick) | The Molyneux family settled at Castle Dillon in county Armagh in the 17th century. Thomas Molyneux, physician general to the army was created a baronet in 1730. His father Samuel Molyneux was granted over a thousand acres in the barony of Clanwilliam, county Limerick in 1666. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Sir Capel Molyneux held an estate in county Limerick in the parishes of Killeenagarriff, Stradbally and Clonkeen, barony of Clanwilliam. In the 1870s his county Limerick estate amounted to 1,388 acres. He also owned 5,463 acres in Queen's county (Laois), 3,416 acres in county Armagh and 2,426 acres in county Kildare. |
| Webb (Maidstown, Knocktoran & Woodville) | The Webbs were resident at Maidstown Castle, county Limerick in the first half of the 18th century. Daniel Webb, an author on works of art, was born at Maidstown circa 1718. The Webbs intermarried with the Monck, Gubbins and Apjohn families. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, James Napier Webb held an estate in the parishes of Cahernarry, Ballingaddy and Effin, barony of Coshlea, county Limerick. He married firstly his first cousin, Anne Monck, and secondly, Anna Gubbins, but died childless in 1888. The Webb house at Knocktoran in the parish of Knocklong, was built post-Griffith's Valuation. The Webbs also had a residence at Woodville, county Tipperary. Daniel James Webb held the townland of Woodville from the Carden estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to Captain Webb of Templemore as the proprietor of townlands in the parish of Dolla, barony of Upper Ormond. On 17 June 1853 James Napper Webb leased the lands of Whitefield or Garranbane in the parish of Loughmoe West, barony of Eliogarty, county Tipperary, to Dive Onge and his wife Rebecca nee Irvine. The Onges sold their interest to Nicholas J. Harrison, who advertised the lands for sale again in June 1871. In the 1870s James Napier Webb owned 1,035 acres in county Limerick and Charles Daniel Webb owned 720 acres in county Tipperary. |
