House name	Description
Solsborough	In 1786 Wilson refers to "Sallborough" as the seat of Mr. Poe. T. Poe was residing at Salisboro in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation (1850) James J. Poe held the property from the Court of Exchequer. The buildings were valued at £41. At the time of the 1852 sale James J. Poe was the tenant holding the property on a 7 year lease pending the cause of Crofts v Poe. Henry H. Poe of Solsborough owned 314 acres in county Tipperary in the 1870s. This house is now a ruin.
Tintrim	Up to 1898 this house was in the barony of Leitrim, county Galway. It is now in the barony of Tulla Upper, county Clare. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, John A. Burke was occuping the house valued at £11, at Tintrim, parish of Clonrush, barony of Leitrim, county Galway. Weir states that the house at Tintrim was probably built by John Anthony Burke of Clondegoff Castle nearby. He was most likely a member of the Burke family who lived at Meelick House, Whitegate at the same time. Tintrim continued in the possession of the Burke family as John Anthony Burke moved out to allow his son, Edmund, and his family to live there until the house was sold in 1867. The house later passed to the Madden family and is still extant and occupied. The Irish Tourist Association file records state that John A. Burke died in 1857 though the family history suggests he died in 1863. The Tourist Association file also notes that in 1933 there was a search for the heirs of his reputed son, Martin Edward Burke, in Australia.
Meelick	Weir states that Meelick was a Burke house in the seventeenth century when Burkes, originally from Clondegoff Castle, in the barony of Longford, settled here. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Walter Blake was occupying the house at Meelick, parish of Clonrush, barony of Leitrim, valued at £17. In 1814 this property was the residence of Matthew Yelverton. The OS Name Books record Meelick as the home of Mr. Gilbertson. Lewis recorded it as "uninhabited" in 1837. There is still an occupied house at Meelick. The Irish Tourist Association file for the parish of Clonrush refers to Meelick as a substantial house with a concrete roof, ancestral home of the Burkes.

Knockbrack	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Joshua Seward was leasing a house valued at almost £10 at Drummaan East, barony of Leitrim. Since 1898 this house has been located in county Clare.
