Manuscript items include representations from Patrick French to the Commissioners for Adjudications for Claims and Qualifications of the Irish, as well as records chronicling the various contests over the estate. These disputes involved Patrick, Stephen and Dominick French, Teige O’Conor Sligo, Sir Philip Percival, Sir George Radcliffe, Thomas, Earl of Strafford, Sir Philip Percival, Sir George Radcliffe and Sir Francis Gore, among others.
