Moore (Tullyvin)
|
A patent to hold courts for the Manor of Tullyvin, county Cavan, about 1,500 acres, was granted to Archibald and Brent Moore during the reign of James I. Brent Moore also acquired land in county Longford. William Moore, who endowed a school at Tullyvin, married Mary daughter of Cosby Nesbitt of Lismore and died in 1803. Mary Moore died in 1833. On 21 November 1788, James Moore Boyle of Tullyvin married Lydia daughter of Richard Moore of Rathdouney, county Laois [marriage register for the Parish of Portpatrick, Wigtownshire, Scotland, 1720-1846]. The Boyles appear to have inherited the Tullyvin estate from the Moores. Maxwell James Boyle had succeeded to this estate in the parishes of Kildrumsherdan and Drung by 1827 when he is recorded as High Sheriff of the county. His son Maxwell William Boyle was in possession by the time of Griffith’s Valuation.
