Stuart (Castlereagh) In 1876, the Viscountess Stuart is recorded as the owner of 2,260 acres in county Cavan while in 1878 Hussey de Burgh records the Earl of Castlestewart as the owner of 2,260 acres in county Cavan and 32,615 acres in county Tyrone. Henry James Richardson Stuart, 5th Earl, succeeded his father in 1874 and married in 1866 Augusta Le Vicomte Massy-Richardson, only child and heir of Major Richardson-Brady of Oaklands, county Tyrone. The county Cavan estate appears to have come into the possession of the Earl through his wife. Her father William Stewart Richardson-Brady held a townland in the county Cavan parish of Kilmore in the 1850s.
