This family appear to have been resident at Crover in the parish of Ballymachugh, county Cavan in the early 19th century. By the mid-19th century John Tatlow held land in the parishes of Kilmore and Crosserlough, county Cavan. In 1876, John Garnett Tatlow of the Rocks, Crossdoney, owned 225 acres while Tissington Tatlow of Crossdoney owned 616 acres. John G. Tatlow was agent to Alexander Nesbitt and Secretary to the Grand Jury of county Cavan.

Morton (Kilnacrott)
|
In the early 19th century Charles Carr Morton, son of Charles Morton, physician and librarian at the British Museum (two of his wives were members of the Pratt family), had a home at Drumroragh Lodge in the parish of Crosserlough, county Cavan. He married Charlotte Tatlow, second daughter of John Tatlow of Crover, by whom he had a number of children, including Pierce Morton (1803-1859). In 1839 Pierce married Louisa Somerville and they had four children. Pierce was a Cambridge mathematician. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage records the building of Kilnacrott House for Pierce Morton about 1845 on land granted to Robert Morton at the time of the Cromwellian confiscations. He was a member of the Castlerahan Relief Committee during the Famine but by 1847 much of his estate, in the parishes of Crosserlough, Drung, Kildrumsherdan, Denn and Killinkere, was in the Court of Chancery and the following lands were advertised for sale ‘Cornabest, Cornacarrow, Cornakill and Liscannon in the barony of Tullygarvey; Finternagh, barony of Clankee; Quilliboy or Coleboy [Cullaboy], barony of Clanmahon; Coolkill, Cullow and Kilnacrott including the mansion house, Latnadronagh, Lehary [Lecharry] and Mullacaslan and Tonylion, baonry of Castlerahan’. These lands were bought by James Fay, except for Cullaboy which was purchased by James Knight circa 1851. The demesne and mansion house Drumrora, parish of Crosserlough, were advertised for sale on 21 June 1855 and appear to have been purchased by Morton’s relative John Tatlow. The 70 acre townland of Tedeehen Middle in the parish of Crosserlough was the only townland held by Pierce Morton at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1857). He left Ireland to work in South Africa in 1851 and died there in 1859.
