Mair
|
Maria daugher of Philip Cross of Cronody and Shandy Hall, county Cork married Peter Mair in the 1780s. Some of the Mairs children were born in Ireland and they eventually lived at Hill House, Richmond, Yorkshire. One of their sons Cornelius Philip Cuyler Mair appears to have inherited or acquired some of the Cross estate in county Cork. He was a military man reaching the rank of Lieutenant General and died at Bognor, Sussex in 1868. The fee simple and freehold estates of Cornelius Philip Cuyler Mair in the baronies of East Muskerry and Kinalmeaky, town of Bandon and city of Cork, plus tithes of parish of Aglish were advertised for sale in May 1858. Griffith's Valuation records Colonel Cuyler Meyer holding some land in the parish of Mourneabbey, barony of Barretts.

Cross (Shandy Hall)
|
The representatives of Abraham Cross held land in the parish of Magourney, barony of East Muskerry, county Cork in the early 1850s, James Cross held land in the parish of Aglish and Philip Cross held land in the parishes of Carrigrohanebeg and Inishcarra. The Magourney baptismal register records the baptisms of the children of Philip Cross and his wife Rebecca Morris in the 1760s so the family was resident in the locality from at least the mid 18th century and there is a reference to Henry Cross of Shandy in 1788. Maria daughter of Philip Cross married in the 1780s Peter Mair of Hill House, Richmond, Yorkshire. Their son Lieutenant General Cornelius Philip Cuyler Mair appears to have inherited some of the Cross estate. In June 1870 the Cross estate at Nadrid, 309 acres in the barony of East Muskerry and the tolls and customs of 2 patent fairs, were advertised for sale.
In the 1870s Philip Cross of Shandy Hall owned 582 acres in county Cork. This Philip Cross may have been the doctor Philip Cross executed in 1888 for the murder of his wife. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Cross.
