Cochrane (Inishowen)

Burke suggests that this branch of the Cochrane family derive from Thomas, 10th Earl of Dundonald.

Name	Description
Cochrane (Inishowen)	In the 1870s Hussey de Burgh recorded Richard Cochrane of Springfield, Quigley’s Point as the owner of over 600 acres in County Donegal. He was leasing townlands in the parish of Muff at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s and may in turn have been leasing property from the Marquis of Donegall’s estate. Burke suggests that the Cochranes acquired lands at Red Castle through marriage with Elizabeth Doherty, daughter of Richard Doherty.
Doherty (Redcastle)	James S. Doherty was among the principal lessors in the parish of Moville Upper at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. In the 1870s Richard Doherty, "formerly a professor in the Queen’s Colleges", was recorded as the owner of almost 7000 acres in County Donegal. His only daughter, Elizabeth, married Ernest Cochrane, son of the Earl of Dundonald, who later inherited the Doherty estate.
