Arabin
|
A Huguenot family that came to Ireland at the end of the 17th century. O’Brien writes that they possessed properties in Dublin, Meath and Westmeath. In 1703 Bartholomew D’Arabine of Dublin bought 654 acres in Moyvaghly, barony of Rathconrath, county Westmeath, for £2,000, from the trustees of forfeited estate, previously the estate of Edward Geoghegan. They continued to hold land at Moyvoughly in the parish of Ballymore, county Westmeath, before the mid-19th century but were mainly based in Dublin. Colonel John Arabin who was deceased in 1766 had a son William and a daughter Elizabeth Chenevix. In 1834 Henry William Arabin [of Dublin] was the trustee of a deed involving the Tuite family and lands at Sonna, Ballycommon and Clubbin in county Westmeath. Charles Arabin was located at Moate at this time. Moyvoughly was in the possession of John Ennis by the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854).
