Two sale rentals from the Landed Estates' Court refer to lands held by the Reverend Thomas Ottiwell Moore in the baronies of Fermoy and Muskerry, county Cork, in the 1860s. The first rental dated 27 February 1863 refers to an estate owned by William Colles Moore [rector of Carnew, county Wicklow], Thomas O. Moore and Henry Moore in the barony of Kilcullen, county Kildare, premises in the town of Doneraile and lands at Croaghnacree, barony of Fermoy and at Carrowkeel. In July 1864 the estate of Thomas Ottiwell Moore amounting to 646 acres at Knockanageria, "otherwise Haremount", barony of Muskerry was advertised for sale. The original lease dated 1742 was from Anne Rye to Henry Bennett for 968 years. The Reverend Moore was rector of Leskinfere, county Wexford. Lands leased by Edward Heard to Rev. Thomas Ottiwell Moore in the barony of Kinsale were offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court in January 1866.
At the time of Griffith's Valuation Jane Moore held land in the parishes of Ballyvourney and Drishane, barony of West Muskerry. In the 1870s Jane Moore of Dublin owned 1,532 acres in county Cork.
