Carmichael (Castle Craig)
|
In the early 18th century the Carmichael family were in possession of the manor of Castle Craig, county Cavan. By 1740, the ownership of the Castle Craig manor and lands in the barony of Carrigallen, county Leitrim, appear to have been in dispute between John Carmichael and Robert Craig. In 1758, Robert 2nd Baron Farnham purchased the manor comprised of 5,900 statute acres in the parishes of Killashandra and Kildallan, barony of Tullyhunco, for £18,900. He bought a further 2,200 acres from the Carmichaels in the same parishes in 1765. Documents in the National Library's collection of Farnham Papers record the Carmichael ownership of the manor of Castle Craig.
