|
In 1878, the Reverend John R. Moore of Rowallane, Saintfield, county Down, owned estates in counties Cavan and Down amounting to 892 and 600 acres respectively. His county Cavan estate was located in the parish of Denn. The Reverend John Robert Moore was descended from Captain Hugh Moore of the 9th Dragoons whose father was granted land in Ireland by William III. As the Reverend John and his wife had no children he was succeeded by his nephew, Hugh Armitage Moore, son of William A. Moore of Arnmore, parish of Urney, county Cavan. William Armytage Moore was agent to Lord Annesley and his son was also appointed agent in 1910. The Moores were closely related to the Earls Annesley. In 1828, William Armytage Moore’s sister Pricilla Cecilia married the 3rd Earl and his daughter also named Pricilla Cecilia married the 5th Earl.
