Some further items on Correen Castle.

Louisa was interested in the owners of Correen Castle since the Potts
were in residence.
Last night I was talking to two neighbours about this and they told me
that after Potts it was Kenny then Caley or Kaley,then Major
Lloyd,then Don Beddy and present owner is Doctor John Monaghan.
Many of the Potts names on the family tree line were William Trumpeter
Potts and the two locals told me that the first Potts was a trumpeter
for Oliver Cromwell when he invaded Ireland in the mid 1600's
A John Rigney was the driver for the last Potts in Correen and the
transport was a horse or pony and cart.
I have been told that the last Potts in Correen Castle died in Africa
