[1]James LECKY: SOURCE: http://www.ballykealeymanorhotel.com/history.htm
Apart from Ballykealey and Kilnock, the family
had homes at various periods at Staplestown, where they first settled in county
Carlow, the location of a mill run by Robert Lecky; Kilmeany, Rathrush and
Newgardens, near Carlow town. In his will of June 1707, Robert left his son
John Lecky one gold guinea, and his interest in land at Kilnock; his sons James
and John got equal shares in Ballykealey. "To my cousin Alexander Lecky
his house and garden and free grazing of six callops of cattle on the land of
Conoborough; £3 to the poor of Friends at Newsgardens Monthly meeting. £20 to
the poor people in the neighborhood of Ballykealey. To my three daughters,
Dorothy, Jean and Rebecca, £600 between them , provided they marry with consent
of executors and trustees. My son James to build a dwelling house upon the
lands at Rathrush for my wife Mary to dwell in." It was Mary, one of the
Quaker Watson family, who persuaded her husband to join the Society of Friends.
