Rathmore House was landlord of Rathmore from 1880 to 1914. Capt. Dawson was landlord of Noughill near Tang for two hundred years. Fred Russell landlord of Coolvin was landlord for about one hundred and fifty years. These families have being settled in the district for about one hundred and fifty years.
