Gibbons (Ballynagall)
|
O’Brien writes that James Gibbons was descended from a Church of Ireland rector of St Mark’s Parish, Dublin. James Gibbons was a Notary Public in Dublin who made a fortune, purchased Castle Reynell or Ballynagall, county Westmeath, from the Reynells in 1803 and other estates in the county. He married his cousin Mary Amelia Wilson and died in 1835 when he was succeeded by his only son, another James (1791-1846). He married Alicia, daughter of William Smyth of Drumcree and left his estates to his nephew James Middleton Berry of Middleton Park.
