Adams/Goold-Adams
|
L.G. Pine traces the ancestry of this family from the fourth son of Edward Adams, a London merchant, who was granted over 2,000 acres in the barony of East Carbery, county Cork, in 1666. Wallis Adams son of Samuel Adams of Kilbree married Frances Goold of Jamesbrook, county Cork and died in 1818. The Goolds appear to have rented Jamesbrook from the Earls of Inchiquin from early in the 18th century. Michael Goold was agent to William 3rd Earl of Inchiquin. Michael Goold-Adams eldest son of Wallis and Frances Adams married a sister of the 1st Earl of Bantry and had 4 sons and 1 daughter. At the time of Griffith's Valuation their eldest son Richard Wallis Goold-Adams held land in the parishes of Ardnageehy, barony of Barrymore and Cloyne and Garranekinnefeake, barony of Imokilly, while Richard's brother Robert held land in the parish of Inchigeelagh, barony of West Muskerry In the 1870s the representatives of the two brothers owned 2,000 acres in the county. Richard's representatives also owned 137 acres in county Limerick.
