    (continued from previous page)
    In the sixteenth century the lands all around Jober were owned by Viscount Baltinglass. When he went into rebellion he had to give up his lands.
    After this they were given to Sarsfield. Now they are owned by a family named Harrington.
    It is said that the lands of Logatrina and other neighboring townslands were the property of the sarsfield family and also the castle.
    It is said that this house was much bigger. At one time it was owned by a family named Bookley.
    The last person to live in this house was a family named "Pratt" some relation to the " Jynte" family.
    At the back of this house there is a field known as the "orchard" field, on a certain day the people round Dunlavin used to go to this field and eat apples.
