| In 1641, the whole parish of Kilrush
belonged to Sir Daniel O'Brien and to the Earl of Thomond, and their ownership
was confirmed by the Commissioners appointed under the Cromwellian Settlement
in 1667. The island of Iniscahy should be excepted, for this was owned by
the Corporation of Limerick. The denominations belonging to Sir Daniel O'Brien
were the following: Mollougha, Kilcarroll, Knockerry east, Tullygower, Gowerhass,
Ballykett, Moyaddabeg, and Tullabrack; and those which were the property
of Lord Thomond were: Knockerry west, Garrane, Feagarroge, Kilrush, Carrowncalla,
Leadmore, Ballynote, Inishbig and Moyne. [98]
