The Odell family was (as far as my research has taken me) spread our from at least the west borders of Mahoonagh to Ballingarry. There was even a small hamlet SW of Ballingarry town named for their estate. They owned the land of my ancestor's townland Ballyhahil in Cloncagh Civil Parish. Do you have names and dates?
