Jervois
|
Members of the Jervois family held over 450 acres in county Cork in the 1870s. In October 1855 and January 1856 over 100 acres of their property in the parish of Nohaval, barony of Kinalea, were offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court. The original lease, dating from 1710, was between the Busteed and Hodder families. In 1853 Samuel Jervois was among the principal lessors in the parish of Dromdaleague, barony of West Carbery. Townsend notes the discovery of copper on the estate of Samuel Jervois, at Leap, before 1810. Family history sources suggest that an earlier Samuel Jervois had come to Ireland with the Cromwellian forces in the mid seventeenth century. He had been ganted land around Glandore.
