  • Notes 
    • William III
      In the 1730s William III was living not in Killaghy (inherited from his mother), nor in Crannagh, which seems to have been his Uncle Richard’s house, but in Cardtown.

      In 1738, when William III’s son Philip Despard was 2 years old, his house at Cardtown was burnt to the ground by levellers. William then built the house in Coolrain .
