James inherited half the farm at Killeinagh from his father.
In 1883 he bought out the other half of the farm from
his first cousin
Michael,
who was emigrating to America.
Most of the children of James and Bridget, except for Pat and
Catherine, emigrated to the US.
Bridget is listed as the owner of Killeinagh in 1895, but her son
Patrick is listed in 1902 (according to Griffith's Valuations.)
