| Nagle (Jamestown) | In the mid-nineteenth century the representatives of Sir Richard Nagle, 2nd Baronet (1800-1850) of Jamestown, County Westmeath, held six townlands in the parish of Ardnurcher and some land in the parish of Kilcumrereagh. Sir Richard was the son of the first baronet and his wife Mary Bridget, daughter and heiress of Owen Geoghegan of Rosemount and Ballybrickogue. Sir Richard represented the county in Parliament and was High Sheriff. Neither he nor his younger brother were married. In November 1851 The Gentlemen’s Magazine states that due to the many mortgages on his estate it was sold two or three years previously. John Ennis was in possession of Jamestown a few years later. Griffith’s Valuation records John J Nugent as the occupier of Ballybrickoge. In 1837 Lady Nagle was resident at Rosemount.

| Colgan (Westmeath) | At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Marcus Colgan was leasing land from Sir Richard Nagle, Robert Smyth and others in the county Westmeath parishes of Ardnurcher, Castletownkindalen and Kilbeggan. In the mid-1870s Hussey de Burgh records the land ownership of Mark Colgan, of Castlerickard, Enfield, county Meath, as 624 acres in county Meath, 175 acres in county Westmeath and 34 acres in King’s County (Offaly). Denis J Colgan owned 240 acres in county Westmeath at this time. |
| Geoghegan (Jamestown) | MacGeoghegan or Geoghegan were large landowners in county Westmeath until the confiscations of the late 17th century. One branch of the family continued to hold a large amount of land in the 18th century and were tenants of the Malones. Kedagh Mac Geoghegan was the son of Bryan Geoghegan of Carne and a Geoghegan of Donore. In 1736, Kedagh married Ann, daughter of Sir George Browne of The Neale, county Mayo and they lived at Jamestown. They had three sons who all died childless and one daughter Mary who married Thomas Nagle in 1763 and inherited Jamestown. One of their sons was the legendary ‘Jack the Buck’.
