Foster (Boylagh)
|
Francis Foster was one of the principal lessors in the parish of Templecrone, barony of Boylagh, County Donegal at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. This property later became part of the Charley estate through the marriage, in 1851, of Francis' daughter, Mary, to John S. Charley. In 1863 over 2000 acres in the parish of Templecrone, barony of Boylagh, County Donegal, previously owned by Francis Foster, was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court. The tenure details indicated that the original lease, dating from 1738, was between William Conyngham and David Williams but had later devolved to Robert Johnston. In 1876 over 7000 acres of the estate of Arthur Sandys Forster in the barony of Boylagh was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court.
