In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Gortnaskehy townland (Gortnescehy).
| |||||||||||||||
There isn’t a 1666/67 record.
Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression.
Watts & Pankurst are likely to be English settlers to the area. Crowley, Holland, Gavin, Hogan & Gleeson are likely to all be of Gaelic origin.
The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824
Hogan is the only Hearth name in it.
In the later Griffiths valuation (see pictures) we find Hogans and Gleesons.

The 1911 Census.

Hogan doesn’t carry on into either 1901 or 1911 census but Gleeson does. In 1901 there is a Timothy Gleeson aged 21 living in the townland.
My own analysis of the rolls highlighting the Arra records.
