Grove
|
The Grove estate in Tireragh seems to have associated with the Grove family of County Donegal. James Grove, of Castlegrove, county Donegal, was the owner of over 500 acres in county Sligo in the 1870s. This may be through the marriage of Dorothea Grove to John Wood, son of James Wood, of Woodville, county Sligo, in 1802.

Grove (Kilmacrenan)
|
Hussey de Burgh lists this estate under the name of James G. Grove in the 1870s when it extended to more than 2000 acres in Donegal and over 500 acres in County Sligo. Walford recounts a number of name changes in the succession to this property in the latter part of the nineteenth century. In 1863 James Grove Wood inherited the property from his uncle Thomas Brooke, formerly Grove.

Brooke (Lough Eske)
|
In the 1870s the estate of Thomas Young Brooke amounted to over 15,000 acres in County Donegal. This estate was among the principal lessors in the parish of Killymard, barony of Banagh, at the time of Griffith’s Valuation in the 1850s. Thomas Brooke and Colonel Henry Brooke were among the principal lessors in the parish of Kilmacrenan, County Donegal at the same time. The Brooke family had held property in south Donegal since the seventeenth century. Thomas Young had married Jane Grove, the heiress to the Brooke estate at Lough Eske estate, and changed his name to Brooke. In the 1890s the estate was sold to the Whyte family.
