|
In the mid-19th century the Bell Booth family held land in the county Cavan parishes of Crosserlough, Ballymachugh and Kilmore. In 1845 a family member, George F. Bell Booth of Drumcarban, was murdered by a member of the Molly Maguires on his way home from church. He was married with six small children. In 1876, Andrew Bell Booth of Bellsgrove owned 306 acres, Robert Bell Booth of Drumcarban 358 acres and the Reverend Richard Bell Booth of Athboy 457 acres in county Cavan. By 1906, members of the Sheridan family were occupying some of the Bell Booth estate including Drumcarban and Bellsgrove.
