Johnson (Cork)
|
William Johnson, of Scottish descent, came to Ireland in the late 17th century. His descendant Noble Johnson was Mayor of Cork in 1809. His grandson also named Noble, settled at Rockenham, and married Susan Bullen of Kinsale. This Noble had twin brothers William and George. George may be the George Johnson of Lisnagoorneen, who owned 271 acres in the 1870s. At the same time Noble Johnson of Rockenham owned an estate of over 2,000 acres. It was located in the parishes of Castletownroche and Mallow, barony of Fermoy.

Lindsey/Lindsay (Co Tipperary)
|
John Lindsey held land in the parishes of Kilgrant, barony of Iffa and Offa East, and Cloneen, barony of Middlethird, county Tipperary at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It was leased to Samuel Bushell. In the 1870s John Lindsay of Cork owned 260 acres and Samuel B. Lindsay of Blackrock, Cork owned 1,263 acres in county Tipperary. This would appear to be the Lindsey family of Lindville, Janeville and Maryville, barony of Cork. John Lindsay of Lindville, Blackrock, near Cork city, married in 1760 Frances Johnson co heir of Noble Johnson of Cork who died in 1755. Another house named Lindville in county Tipperary was also associated with Lindseys.
