Kenifick/Kenefick
|
Anthony McCan traces the history of this merchant family of Cork from Edmond Kenifick of the mid 18th century to Richard Kenifick of the late 19th century. In 1808 Edmond Kenifick bought Ballindeasig house and estate, parish of Ballyfoyle, barony of Kinalea from Patrick Lambert, a clothier, of Dublin. He was also leasing the neighbouring townland of Reagrove. Edmond died in 1811 and was succeeded in 1814 by his nephew Richard Roche Kenifick who was living at Ballindeasig by the 1820s. In 1815 Richard married Alicia Moylan and their daughter Mary Creagh married in 1850 John Chrysostom Hennessy of Knockaniffe House, Ballyfeard. Mary's brother Richard conveyed Ballindeasig to his brother in law John C. Hennessy in February 1853. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Richard Kenefick held land in the parishes of Ballyfoyle, barony of Kinalea and Rathcormack, barony of Barrymore. In the 1870s Richard Kenefic of Ballindeasig owned 286 acres in county Cork.
