Moore (Cloongee) An estate at Cloongee, parish of Templemore, barony of Gallen, county Mayo was granted to the Moores of Ashbrook in 1715 by Charles O'Hara, Lord Tyrawley who appears to have bought Cloongee from a William Moore, purchaser of the forfeited estate of Captain Henry O'Neile in 1703. By the mid 19th century the lease of 693 acres was held by Harloe Phibbs Baker, who sold his interest in the Encumbered Estates' Court in October 1851 to the McDermotts.
Baker (Cloongee) Harloe Phibbs Baker and his wife Maria held the townland of Cloongee in the parish of Templemore, barony of Gallen, county Mayo, on a renewable lease from the Gores, which they sold in the early 1850s to the McDermotts. They also had an interest in the lands of Ballymacgibbon North and Dowagh in the parish of Cong, barony of Kilmaine, which they sold in 1859.
