Biography

S.T. McCarthy states that "They had, besides a daughter Ellen, who married Thomas Fitzmaurice' son of the 17th Lord of Kerry, a son Denis to whom Castlelough was granted by his cousin Florence. This grant seems to have been made in pursuance of an arrangement between them, Whereby Florence MacCarthy Mor agreed to make over Castlelough to his cousin Denis, in consideration of the assignment, by the latter, of other lands to Florence. There was some litigation between them on the subject, as is evidenced by some Chancery and Exchequer bills filed in the year 1674.^[1].

McCarthy continues "Denis McCarthy married Margaret Finch, described as an English lady of distinction," and, by her, had two sons, Florence and Justin. The elder son Florence married Mary daughter of Bernard MacMahon, and had, with several other children, an eldest son Charles, the "pretty fellow" of Clare's regiment, already referred to. Denis's second son Justin of Castlelough (called also "of Begnis," where he appears to have settled down afterwards) married Catherine daughter of Colonel Maurice Hussey, and had a son Randal. This Randal, for some cause or other, came down in the world, and sold Castlelogh to the Crosbie family in the reign of George 11. He left his children uneducated, and badly provided for. In his will, dated the 24th December, 1760 (wherein he is described as "Randolph MacCarthy of Killelan, co. Kerry") , he leaves his real and personal estate to his wife Lucy McCarthy and his brother-in-law Samuel Dowse to pay his debts, and dispose of his property as they might think proper, for the benefit of his wife and children, and appoints his wife, and brother-in-law, and eldest son Samuel his executors."
