Murray Stewart
|
In the 1870s H.G. Murray Stewart of Gullygate House, Scotland, was the owner of over 50,000 acres in County Donegal. This estate held property in the parishes of Inishkeel, Kilcar, Killaghatee and Killybegs Upper in the Barony of Banagh at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. This estate had previously belonged to a Murray family of Broughton, Scotland, since the Ulster Plantation. It was inherited by Horatio Granville Stewart, following the death without heirs of Alexander Murray in 1845.
H.G. Murray Stewart offered almost 4000 acres of his estate in the baronies of Banagh and Boylagh for sale in the Landed Estates Court in July 1869. Elements of the estate were later purchased by the Musgrave family.
In 1885 the rental of almost 500 acres in the barony of Banagh leased from the Murray Stewart estate by Prudence Blain, was offered for sale in the Land Judges' Court.
