Re: Perry family's titles explained
Stackpoole's Court (there are various ways of spelling it) was located North of Castle Lake which is in turn North of Sixmilebridge.
It's shown on Moll's map of 1736, Pelham's map of 1787, and Rocque's map of 1790.
In the OS maps, 1st. edition onwards, it's shown as Enagh Castle in the townland of Enagh West. Its ruins are still there, much demolished and covered in thick vegetation.

Re: Perry family's titles explained
Yes, thank you. It's great to see another person willing to post about maps and locations of placenames (when there was
another group, on a Rootsweb mailing list, there was an American Pete Schemerhorn who would post such things). But
now we have someone right in the area, so that's very nice indeed.
Since there were two sets of Earls of Limerick, knowing who was actually living in/on the edge of the Parish of Clonlea
allows a decision, in this case, the Perry/Pery family as the Earl of Limerick who held title to the land on which our people lived.
