The house may have been extended by the time of Griffith’s Valuation circa 1860 when it was valued at £17. It was occupied by George Renwick [Rennick] who held the property from William Brownlow. Family sources suggest George Rennick was formerly the proprietor of the Shirley Arms Hotel in Carrickmacross and the King's Arms in Clones, before retiring to Derry sometime between 1846-1860. Loughderry House has been the home of the Rennick family for many generations.

Bailieborough Castle/Lisgar Castle A Scottish planter named William Bailie built a castle here in the early 17th century. It passed into the possession of a number of prominent families Hamilton, Stewart and Corry until it was sold to Colonel William Young in 1814. His son, Sir John Young, later created 1st Baron Lisgar, built a new house on the site in the 1860s. At the end of the 19th century the house was sold to Sir Henry Cochrane and in 1915 to the Marist Brothers of Athlone. Badly damaged by fire in 1918 but reconstructed, the house was eventually demolished in 1942. For image see https://www.archiseek.com/

Cabra Cottage This house was the home of the Pratt family until Cormey Castle was purchased in 1813 and was renamed Cabra Castle. Cabra Cottage is shown on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837) as a substantial building close to a mill race, quarry and the ruins of the first Cabra Castle. Bence Jones describes this building as an early 18th century villa possibly designed by Sir Edward Lovett Pearce. He writes that it was used as a ballroom following the Pratts move to live in their new home in Cormey. In the mid-19th century it was valued at £20 for rates and Colonel Joseph Pratt was the owner and occupier. The 25 inch map shows the building much reduced in size. Bence Jones writes that it was destroyed by fire in the 1950s.
Cabra Castle The second Cabra Castle, probably incorporating the old Cormey Castle, was complete by the late 1830s. It is located on the county border between Cavan and Meath. A castellated building of Gothic appearance Cabra Castle had a rateable valuation of £70 in the mid-19th century when occupied and owned by Colonel Pratt. It continued to be the main residence of the Pratts until the mid -0th century when it was inherited by a relative, Mervyn Sheppard, who sold it in the mid-1960s. It now functions as a hotel. https://www.cabracastle.com/ Photo of Cabra Castle

Lewis records it as the residence of J. Pratt and Griffith’s Valuation records Francis Pratt as the occupier holding the property from Frances E. Pratt. It had a rateable valuation of £15. Occupied by George Pratt and his mother in 1901. Now a green field site.
Mullantra Mullantra was located on the border between counties Cavan and Monaghan and north of the other Pratt homes in the locality. In 1814 it was occupied by James Butler Pratt. Lieutenant Edward Pratt of Mullantra, Kingscourt, petitioned the Lord Lieutenant in 1822 for an appointment to a post in the police establishment (National Archives CSO/RP/1822/1006).

A new building appears on a nearby site on the 25 inch map and is still extant in the middle of a forestry area.
