Research Notes
The history on the Cabra Castle Website differs from Burke's Landed Gentry (1912). Cabra castle, and the land surrounding it, is believed to have belonged to the O'Reilly family until it was confiscated in the mid-17th Century by Cromwell's orders and given to Colonel Thomas Cooch, grandson to Sir Thomas Cooch KC; who had migrated to Donegal in the 17th Century, having been granted 1,000 acres by James I.
Colonel Thomas Cooch, first owner of Cabra Estate, married Elizabeth Mervyn, sister of Audley Mervyn (Speaker of the Irish House of Commons), and they had an only daughter and heiress, Elizabeth.
Her first marriage ended when she was widowed in 1685 and Elizabeth then married Joseph Pratt, who lived not far off at Jaradice, Co. Meath, a property which he received when he migrated from Leicestershire to Ireland in 1641. This marriage (which was also Joseph Pratt's second) took place in 1686 and a son, Mervyn Pratt, was born in 1687.
