Patent of Charles 2 of England to Lands in West Cork to Henry and John Beecher and John Bayley:
It is likely that these were O’Driscoll and MacCarthy Lands forfeited post 1641 Rebellion.
It is interesting in the Landed Estates Sale of part of the Beecher Estate the title is supplement by a Lease from Coppinger of c 1698. Possibly connected with Sir Walter Coppinger a major land Owner who also lost his lands at the same period.
