 | | Florence, Baron of Upper Ossory, endeavoured to deprive his eldest son Teige, of his birthright, and to constitute his second son, John, the heir of all his possessions. |
 | | The dispute between the brothers was settled, after the Baron’s death, by a partition of his castles and estates – the share allotted to Taidg was erected into a manor to be known as the Manor of Cowlchill, and that asigned to John having been constituted the Manor of Castletown-Offerland. |
 | | In 1601 and 1612, John is mentioned as of Garran; but soon after the latter date he removed to Castletown, where he continued to reside until his death, on the 25th July, 1626. |
