There is a Barbavilla House just south of Collinstown and N.W.of Drumcree a
fraction.In 1814 there was a Ralph Smyth Esq. in Castletown-Delvin , living in
Barbavilla. Ths Smyth family owned many estates in the area. Castlepollard is in
the parish of Rathgraff, Kullican is partly in the parish of Rathwire,and barony
of Delvin, but chiefly in Farbill.But today some records of the parish can be
found in Castlepollard. The early Prosd. records burned, but the Catholic
records are at the church in Castlepollard.[ Never been filmed by the
Mormans].Have fun.
