Tredennick (Woodhill)
|
The Tredennick estate owned townlands in the parishes of Kilcar, Killaghatee and Killybegs Upper and Lower in the barony of Banagh at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. In the 1870s G. Tredennick with an address at Woodhill, Ardara, owned over 6,200 acres in the county. This branch of the family descended from Galbraith Tredennick of the Camlin family who married Anna, heiress of George Nesbitt of Woodhill, Ardara. The family were originally of Cornish origin but had been in Ireland since the 17th century. Beattie notes that this was one of the first of the large Donegal estates sold to the Congested Districts Board in the 1900s.
