  1. Lord Cunningham was one of the land lords in this parish. He lived at Slane castle Co. Meath. His agent used evict the tenants when they refused to pay the rent. The agent used put a heavier rent on the tenants than that laid out by the land lord. Tenants often went to the land lord on account of evictions or notices to quit their houses. He usually sent them back to their houses. The land lord used show great sympathy to his tenants. The local agent was Marcus Keane.
