John Fowke of Dublin settled in Ireland at the beginning of the 18th century. He married Patience, sister and co-heir of the Right Honourable Henry Singleton, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. Their son Sydenham Fowke succeeded to some of Henry Singleton’s estate and assumed the name Singleton in 1759. In the mid-19th century Henry Sydenham Singleton held an estate in the county Cavan parishes of Shercock, Drumgoon and Knockbride. In the 1870s, Henry S. Singleton of Mell, county Louth and Hazely Heath, Hampshire, owned 6,609 acres in county Cavan, 1,463 in county Louth and 508 acres in county Meath.
