NAMES OF THE CROMWELLIAN ADVENTURERS FOR LAND IN IRELAND
           From "Irish Pedigrees" by John O'Hart, vol 2

 "Adventurers for Land in Ireland"


To finance Cromwell's  campaign to put down the "rebellious" Irish who just
could not accept English rule, Parliment devised a scheme where every person
who contributed  was to receive estates and manors of 1000 acres , and lands
proportionatley for less sums.

In Ulster the price was 200 pounds, Connaught, 300, Munster, 450, Leinster
600.
This Act of Subscription began in 1642 and in 1653 Ireland was declared
subdued and  the lands were given out. Some of the Adventurers had
died or sold or  assigned their Adventures. Some of the Adventurers were
Irish,
living in England or Ireland.

For the full name and address of each Adventurer the reader is directed to
Prendergast's "Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland".


The list of surnames ONLY  begins on page 699, vol. 2 of "Irish Pedigrees"
