In 1837 William Fetherstonhaugh was resident and in the mid-19th century it was the home of James Fetherston Haugh, held from Dorothea Horton and valued at £20. In the 1870s James Fetherstonhaugh of Ballintober owned 39 acres in county Westmeath. Ballintober was still in Fetherston Haugh occupation in 1901 but unoccupied by 1911. This was a branch of the Mosstown and Bracklyn Fetherstonhaugh family.
