Smith (Bellamont) | In 1875, Bellamont Forest, county Cavan, was sold by George Coote to Edward Smith (K.V. Mulligan), who made a fortune out of coal. Edward Patrick Dorman Smith was the eldest son of Edward Smith and his wife Isabella Cullen and succeeded to Bellamont Forest in 1880. In 1906, he held about seven hundred acres of untenanted land in the Bellamont locality. The Smiths continued to own this property for another hundred years. |
