In Griffith's Valuation (c. 1860)

There were six different James mentioned:

• "Benbo" (Lot 1 A+B)
  • This goes to Silas W. Henry in an update - suggesting this is James Henry (abt.1823-1914).
• "Macourt" (Lot 3) -- updated to "McCord"
  • to Thomas Henry(James) in 1884, then Robert J. Henry in 1896, then Silas W. Henry in 1909
• "King" (Lot 8a)
  • to James Glasgow in 1873.
• "Grocer" (Lot 19 and 20a)
  • lot 19 to Charles Henry after 1881; James retains 20. Then both to Wm Kilpatrick 1905
• "Denis" (Lot 41)
  • to Henry Wilkinson before 1864
• "Montober" - does not hold land here but is the lessor for one lot.

"Charles Henry" who receives the land of James "Grocer" would not be Charles Wesley Henry (1864-) as he is too young. Perhaps it is a child of James Henry (abt.1834-1920) whose wife was a Charles?

James("Benbo") is an executor for John Henry Jr. (abt.1834-1862).

John Henry son of James Henry (abt.1834-1920) is known as "John Henry, McCord" in his mother-in-law's will

In tithe applotment (1826)

• James Henry (King)
• James Henry (Dennis)
• John, Thomas, and Archibald Henry.

Perhaps "King" indicates some connection to King Henry (abt.1815-1899) of the neighbouring townland Montober?
