Barter (County Cork)
|
The Barter family were established in county Cork from the late 17th century.
Several members of the Barter family held lands in and around Kinsale in the 1870s, including Benjamin who owned over 400 acres near the town as well as other lands near Ballinhassig. He was among the principal lessors in the parish of Carrigaline at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Thomas Barter of Droumcarra, Macroom, owned an estate of over 3,500 acres in the 1870s. In the early 1850s Richard Barter is recorded in the parishes of Inchigeelagh and Kilnamartery, barony of West Muskerry, Kilbonane, barony of East Muskerry and Ardnageehy, barony of Barrymore, county Cork. In June 1884 the estate of Mary Barter amounting to over 1,000 acres at Ballywilliam, barony of Kinsale, East Ballygarvan and Ballyduhig, barony of Kerricurrihy and Cooletuder, barony of East Muskerry was advertised for sale. Some lots of this estate were finally sold in the Land Judges' Court in June 1888 when the purchaser was Thomas Babington.
