Grogan was recorded among the principal lessors in the parish of Noughaval, barony of Kilkenny West.

His address was recorded as Liskelly and he is listed as the owner of over 400 acres in county Galway in the 1870s. A John Maher was residing at a house called Ashford, located in county Roscommon but whose nearest post town was Ballinasloe, in 1814.
