He was deceased when this estate came up for sale in the Encumbered Estates Courts in December 1858. It was sold on behalf of his daughter and heiress Constance Isabella, a minor. She later married Captain Stewart Cartwright and they adopted the additional surname of Enery. At the time of sale the Ballyconnell estate amounted to 6,474 acres and was located in the parishes of Tomregan, Templeport and Drumlane, county Cavan and Tomregan, county Fermanagh. A medical doctor, George Roe, bought Ballyconnell House and some land. Other townlands were purchased by Earl Annesley.
