The Powells acquired the O’Donovan estate by the marriage General O’Donovan with Miss Powell from Wales. They and no children, on his death she succeeded and left the property to her brother. This caused consternation in the extended O’Donovan family this being part of the ancestral estate in direct line from c the 13th century.
Major Powell at the time also possessed the old O’Donovan Estate at Bawnlahan.
