Magistrates:

It is believed that the Notter family of German Protestant Rhineland origin arrived in the general Crookhaven area in the early 17th century.

Until the great road from Skibbereen to Crookhavan was built by Sir Richard In the 1820s Crookhaven was only connected to the rest of Irealand  by a rough packhorse trail. In Irish aít iarghualta. However, since the early 17th century it was on one of the world busiest shipping routes.

That part of the Mizen Peninsula was from around  1600 under the de  facto control of Richard Boyle, the Great Earl of Cork, the Hulls of Lemcon Castle Schull and their local allies the Coughlans of Carrigmanus who turned Protestant after falling out with their overlords the O’Mahonys.

Interestingly in the early 19th century there were various property transactions for the area around  Crookhavn between the Notters and  Lord Riversdale and the Tonsons who are part of the extended Hull family of Schull.
