    Langfords
    Cromwell told the first Langford that he would give him as much land as he could ride over in a day and that's how Langford got Summerhill.
    The first Langford was a Cromwellian soldier, and the first Winter was a clergy-man, he came over with the Cromwellian army.
    The old name for Summerhill is "Cnoc na Loinghse". Lynchs lived in it before Langfords.
    Ruins of Lynch's house still standing - it was built in 1632 - Rowleys (Lord Langford) supplanted Lynchs.
