| Collection | Earbery Estate Maps Collection |
| Collection Description | In 1703 Matthias Earbery of Ballincollig purchased the lands of Caherbaroule in East Muskerry from the Forfeited Estates Commission; he also rented lands in the parish of Donoughmore and lived locally at Shandangan. On his death in 1729 he was succeeded by his son Christopher, who died in 1762. His son Matthias II married in 1758 Elizabeth Barbara, only child of Major Henry Crofton; he was MP for the borough of Lanesborough, and acquired a small estate at Inchinappa in Co. Wicklow, where he died in 1779. He was succeeded by his son Christopher Henry, who died in 1818 leaving as his heirs his daughters Emily Rebecca and Marcia Anastasia. The latter married the Rev. Henry William Crofton and died without issue before 1840; her husband succeeded to the estates, and the line was continued through Crofton's second marriage. [UCC Special Collections and Archives] |
