 | Adare eventually came into the possession of his great-great-grandson, Thady (1645-1725), a clever lawyer during the turbulent upheaval of the Jacobite and Williamite wars of the late 17th century. |
| The title to most of the Co. Limerick estate, in and around Adare and elsewhere in the county, is piecemeal and exceedingly complicated, and no doubt had to be made deliberately obscure after the passing of the Act to Prevent the Further Growth of Popery, with its swingeing restrictions on Catholic landownership, in 1704. |
| However, the surviving papers of Thady, Valentine and Windham Quin of Adare, 1678-1769, and of Valentine Richard Quin, later 1st Earl of Dunraven, 1770-1824, are all really estate papers, consisting of bonds, case papers, schedules of deeds, accounts, receipts, tenants' proposals (particularly for the period 1804-1814). |
