James Blaney Born circa 840s in Drumfad Lower. He grew up on the farm until 1865, when he made a

permanent break from Ireland. He was the son of John Blaney (the Younger) ...

This was the primary seat of John the Elder’s farm. In the 1834 Tithe Appalment Books, John Blaney is registered holding arable agricultural land here. By the time of Griffith’s Valuation (mid-1850s), this holding is formally indexed as Plot 10 in Drumfad Lower. It consisted of a house, an office (barn/outbuilding), and just over 17 acres of land. John the Elder’s son, John the Younger eventually took over the Plot
