Description

In 1666 and 1668 Sir Philip Percevall was granted large estates in county Cork and over 1,000 acres in county Tipperary. His nephew, Sir John Perceval, was created Viscount Perceval of Kanturk in 1722 and Earl of Egmont in 1733. His son, John James, 2nd Earl of Egmont, married twice. The Earls of Egmont descend from his first marriage and the Barons Arden from his second marriage in 1756 to Catherine Compton, created Baroness Arden of Lohort Castle in 1770. In 1837 Lewis wrote that most of the parish of Churchtown, barony of Orrery and Kilmore, was in the possession of the Earl of Egmont. Following the death of the 5th Earl of Egmont in 1841 George James, Baron Arden, succeeded his cousin as 6th Earl of Egmont. The 5th Earl however left a large part of his estates to his agent Edward Tierney. These lands, mainly in the parish of Churchtown, were recovered by the 6th Earl following a court case in the early 1860s. in 1843 the trustees of the 6th Earl bought the Cowdray estates in Sussex on his behalf. Griffith's Valuation records the 6th Earl of Egmont holding an estate in the barony of Duhallow, county Cork, mainly in the parish of Cullen but also in the parishes of Castlemagner, Drumtarriff, Kilmeen and Ballyclogh and in the barony of Orrery and Kilmore, parishes of Bregoge, Buttevant, Churchtown and Lacken. In the 1870s the 7th Earl of Egmont owned 16,766 acres in county Cork. http://www.iol.ie/~edmo/percival.html and http://www.churchtown.net/Webpages/history/H-darrell.htm
