1708 Deed and Feoffment, Donogh Daly, Farnanmanagh, Kilcrohane, West Cork, Witness Owen Daly.

It is possible that the Bechers had Daly join in the deed to perfect their title.

Feoffment

Total relinquishment and transfer of all rights of ownership in land from one individual to another.

A feoffment in old England was a transfer of property that gave the new owner the right to sell the land as well as the right topass it on to his heirs.

An essential element of feoffment was livery of seisin, a ceremony for transferring the possession of real property from oneperson to another.

Feoffment is also known as enfeoffment.

It is probably that shortly before the Daly lands in Kilcrohane were forfeit.

It is possible to trace involvement in political agitation from the Whiteboys, Anti-Tithe, Repeal, Fenians, Irish Parliamentary Party and the Various Nationalist factions to Present Day politics going through families.

The District Inspectors of the RIC submitted monthly local reports to Dublin Castle.  They are extant and available in Kew, in the UK.
