Biography

Ann was the Daughter of Robert Drought of Park, King's County (known as County Offaly).

B 2. JOHN MULOCK, of Liss,‘ and afterwards of Kilnagarna and Castlerea, King’s County, was the eldest son of Thomas Mulock, of Moate (A 1.), by his second wife Margaret Conran. He acquired freehold interests of con siderable extent and value in the lands of Ballyard (afterwards called Bellair-1'), Kilnagarna, Castlerea, and others, in the King’s County. In the month of August, I720, he married Ann, daughter of Robert Drought, of Park, King’s County; and prior to the marriage an indenture of settlement was executed, dated 16 August, 1720, made between the said Robert Drought and Ann Drought, his daughter, of the one part, and Thomas Mulock, of Moate, and his son the said John Mulock, of the other part. (In this deed both Thomas and John signed their surname as “ Mullock,” but, in the will and codicil next referred to, John spelled his name “ Mulock.”) There was no issue of this marriage; and by his will dated 24 January, 175 5, John Mulock, then described as of Kilnagarna, devised the Ballyard estate to his nephew the Rev. John Mulock and his heirs, subject to a small annuity payable thereout to the testator’s brother Robert Mulock; and as to the residue of his real estate (which included Kilnagarna and Castlerea) he devised the same to his brother Thomas Mulock for his life, with remainder to such son or sons of the said Thomas as he should by deed or will appoint, and to the heirs male of such son or sons, and, in default of such appointment, to Thomas Mulock, eldest son of the testator’s brother Thomas, and the heirs male of his body, with remainder to the testator’s nephew John Mulock, son of the testator’s brother Thomas, and the heirs male of his body, with remainder to the testator’s nephew Robert Mulock, son of the testator’s brother Thomas, and the heirs male of his body, with remainders over. And the testator devised to his brother Robert Mulock all his estate and interest in the holdings which the testator’s father had in the town of Moate, in the County of Westmeath. The testator made a codicil, dated 31 March, 1757, to his said will, the provisions of which are not material to be mentioned; and he died without issue on 22 September, 1757.‘ In the announcement of his death in Exshaw’s Magazine of the period, he is described as then “of Castlerea, King’s County.”^[1]
