- The local landlord was named Singleton. He did not live here,
There were evictions in the bad times and planters came to occupy the land.
The landlord got the land on the division of the lands by Cromwell. The landlord had great power and hundreds emigrated.
There were three evictions on Belpatrick estate Carolans were the Rent Warners and they got the lands of the evicted party.
Long ago this land was given to people evected from good land in Drumcar and Rathkenny. Thus the name "Reid" which is the most common, can be traced to Drumcar, and Moonan to Rathkenny.
