1534
le Rathe near Ardcath
Edward Nugent of Balibranage was not seised at his death of any lands in co. Dublin, but long before his death, on 10 June 1534 he enfeoffed James Cusake of Nowan of all the lands he had in Balibranage, le Rathe near Ardcath & Kernys, in co. Meath, & of all the lands he had in Corbally, Couloke, Legrayn de Baldoyle & Derndall, co. Dublin. He made a will declaring that James was to stand seised to his (Edward's) own use for life, the lands then to be charged with £20 for payment of his debts & £40 marriage portion for his dau. Catherine.
