The estate of Charles Walsh at Derrylaghan was worth £1,000 in the 1770s (Kilboy Papers). In 1795 John Walsh married Eliza, daughter of Jonathan Willington of Rapla, county Tipperary. The representatives of their son, Jonathan Walsh, held land in the parishes of Dorrha and Lorrha, barony of Lower Ormond, in the mid 19th century.
