Thomas Nowlan of Ballon, Co. Carlow.
In 1827, a Thomas Nolan of Ballon, a businessman and wealthy farmer of Ballon Village, named “Rev. Peter Nowlan” of Carlow as executor for his will. This was likely the Reverend Peter Nowlan who served at Carlow’s Roman Catholic cathedral in the late 1700s and, as such, would have been of age to be a brother or cousin to Thomas. On June 12, 1832, Thomas died and, as per his will, his possessions were distributed to his five sons, Richard, Thomas, Patrick, Michael and John, while at the same time making provisions for his wife. Richard, probably the youngest, received Thomas’ leasehold on the lands held in Ballinadrum and owned by James Leckey. His inheritance also included bulloc cows, 2 horses and monies to be drawn from Thomas’ estate to pay for the construction of the “shell of a house” on the designated lands. Thomas Jr., probably the eldest, received Thomas’ leasehold on the lands held in Myshall and owned by Mr. Baggott [RN: probably Ballinrush since this was the only townland in Myshall owned by the Baggott family in 1851]. Thomas was also promised 300 pounds being held by Mr. Baggott but to be released within the next 3 years. Patrick received Thomas’ leasehold on lands held in “Kiletheen” [RN: possibly Killane] and owned by James Leckey, 10 cows, 2 horses and the promise of 100 pounds then on loan to Michael, his brother, but which were to be paid within 4 years. Michael received Thomas’ land, dwelling house and out offices in Ballon village, in addition to all “stock and merchandise” in the said house and offices. His inheritance, however, was subject to him paying an annuity of 10 Irish pounds for life to his mother, Thomas’ widow. John received Thomas’ leasehold on lands and premises managed by “Representatives of the late Rev. James Conran”, lands held in “Garryonouge” and owned by James O’Brien, lands held in Cunnaberry and owned by the late Robert Marshall, as well as 14 cows, 2 horses and 100 Irish pounds to be paid to him by Michael, his brother.
