“Lots were drawn among Cromwell's soldiers for lands in Ireland...”
(continued from previous page)informant the Cootes of Cootehill, The Maxwells of Cavan, The Hamiltons, Achesons and others came at that time. A battle was fought in the townland of Fihora about two miles from Arva between the Hamiltons and the McKennas on land now owned by a man named "Butsey" Reilly. The result of the battle is not known.
A family named Hamilton now resides at Castlehamilton near Killeshandra, but I have been told they are not descendants of the original Hamiltons, who were planted on those lands.
