Drumlumman
This district has very often changed its proprietors. The
oldest possessors were the powerful family of the O'Reillys, cavan being called
the O'Reilly's country. A great portion of it was forfeited in the rebellion of
1641. In the time of the commonwealth theO'Reillys did not possess any property
in it, but the Lord of cavan possessed about one-half of this parish along with
his other large possession; the remainder of the parish was held by Major
William Moore, Lieutenant Burton and other small proprietors not possessing
more than single townlands.
