- 1997 From talk by Kieran White:
Ballysallagh was Purcell property. Mary Purcell married
Gerald Byrne and in 1720 his (her?) father assigned the
property to him. A date stone, 1722, was found in the
attic which would accord with the style. Carrigan says
the house was new in 1810, but he was probably referring
to a remodelling. Gerald Doyle, grandson (of Gerald
Byrne?), inherited the property in 1760. The Doyles were
not locals. William Doyle died1847, the last resident
Doyle died in 1939 after which came the Hanlan family.
The Whites bought the house in 1986.
