The Hurley family have a long lineage in Ballycomane, Durrus, they had a large farm pre 1780 there when the Vickery family moved in. There was a a marriage between John Vickery and Hanora Hurley around the same time so there may be a connection there. In the 1870s elements of the family were active in East London with Dukelows and Swantons in Fenian activities and there is a connection with Michael Collins who lodged with one of their associates when he came to work in London.
One of the Hurleys was active in Home Rule Politics in the 1890s and was later involved with the County Council.
Sean Hurley may have been associated in Dublin with JJ O’Leary also from Cork, and be one of the pioneers of Aer Lingus

At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, David Cagney was leasing this property to Isaac Notter, when it was valued at £11. Lewis noted Crookhaven House as the seat of R. Doe, in 1837. This property does not appear on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.
At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, Thomas Notter held this property in fee when it was valued at £16 10s. In 1837 Lewis recorded it as the seat of J. Notter. Leet refers to Rock-Island as the residence of Henry Alleyn in 1814. It is still extant.

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.

Fee-farm deed 1612 by Giles Maskelyne to Benry Balwin of Lios na gCat (Cats Ring Fort?), Bandon.

Giles Maskelyne estate granted by Sir Richard Grenville (15 June 1542 – 10 September 1591), also spelt Greynvile, Greeneville, and Greenfield, was an English privateer and explorer. Grenville was lord of the manors of Stowe, Cornwall and Bideford, Devon. He subsequently participated in the plantations of Ireland, the English colonisation of the Americas and the repulse of the Spanish Armada.
Grenville also served as Member of Parliament for Cornwall, High Sheriff for County Cork and Sheriff of Cornwall. In 1591, Grenville died at the battle of Flores fighting against an overwhelmingly larger Spanish fleet near the Azores. He and his crew on board the galleon Revenge fought against the 53-strong Spanish fleet to allow the other English ships to escape. Grenville was the grandfather of Sir Bevil Grenville, a prominent military officer during the English Civil War.
Following a period of supporting Sir Walter Raleigh’s venture in America (see below) he returned to Munster to arrange the estate granted him under the plantation of the province. Following the suppression of the Second Desmond Rebellion in 1583, he had purchased some 24,000 acres (97 km2) in Kinalmeaky and brought settlers over. His renewed efforts beginning in 1588 yielded little success, and Grenville returned to England late in 1590.
It is interesting that in the Lisnegat deed of 1612 is included 10 acres of mill lands. Assuming that there was no mill before the plantations that chimes with the experience in the early 17th century Ulster. There settlers soon began to reclaim land, build roads and bridges and develop mills.
In 1700 the Co.Down had as many roads under charge as the Cork Grand Jury despite being a fraction of the size.
..
Some of the Maskelyne land such as those at Lisnagat were acquired pre 1612 from a planted and privateer Sir Richard Grenville (1542-1591).

The various obituaries refer to his tenure as a Judge in complementary fashion, Like many before him he discarded his sectarian and Orange baggage on entering the 4 Courts as a newly appointed Irish Judge in 1842 and in the long tradition of Irish Judges gave a fair and impartial hearing to those who appeared before him. It would seem that in the criminal cases he was lenient in sentencing.
The 1835 Banadon election is noteworthy for the tiny size of the electorate. He won He fought the 1835 election for Bandon bridge perceived as the nominee of the Orange faction getting 111 votes against James Redmond Barry, the Liberal who got 79

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: THE KILDARE PLACE SOCIETY
The Society for the Promotion of the Education of the Poor in Ireland, more famously known as the Kildare Place Society, was established in 1811 by a group of Philanthropic men such as Samuel Bewley, J.D La Touche, William L Guinness and Joseph Devonsher. This society was set up as a non- denominational society however; its rules stated that the bible would be read in schools ‘without note or comment’[1]. This rule caused outrage from the Catholic Church authorities and proved to be an unacceptable rule as Catholic children began to be withdrawn from the schools.
Presumably this should be Joseph Devonsher Jackson.
