Mortimer
|
In 1667, James Mortimer was granted 1,205 acres in the barony of Castlerahan, county Cavan, including Cloghabeg and a small acreage in county Meath. A further grant of small acreages in the same two counties was given in December 1669. The Belfast Monthly Magazine, III, 401, records the marriage in 1810 of David Mortimer of Lakeview and Miss O’Reilly, daughter of Counsellor O’Reilly of Eccles Street, Dublin. In the mid-19th century Charles Mortimer continued to hold an estate at Lakeview in the parish of Mullagh and William Mortimer held the townland of Lislin. Charles Mortimer married Abigail Eleanor daughter of the Reverend Charles Atkinson Caffry, rector of Mullagh, and their eldest son was David Atkinson Mortimer of Lakeview. In 1876, David A. Mortimer owned 817 acres in county Cavan. He married twice but had no children and the estate passed to his nephew Gerald Mortimer who married Aileen Eleanor Levinge. Lakeview is now the home of Jonathan and Daphne Levinge Shackleton. see https://daphnelevingeshackleton.wordpress.com/13-2/
