Bustard
|
In the 1870s, Ebenezer Bustard, of Belville, Dunkineely, was the owner of over 10,000 acres in County Donegal. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, John Bustard was among the principal landowners in the parish of Killybegs Upper, barony of Banagh. The family still held property in the Dunkineely area in the early twentieth century though Ebenezer’s son, George, practised as a lawyer in Dublin. The Dictionary of Irish Architects provides information on a house he commissioned in Ballsbridge, noting that the family originated in Kentucky.
