THE BLOODS OF APPLEVALE (BOHERSALLAGH)
Near Corofin, Co. Clare, Ireland.
Descended from Thomas Blood, of Kilnaboy, Co. Clare, Ireland.
Thomas was a great-grandson of Edmund Blood of Makeney; for his ancestry, see The Bloods of Kilnaboy.
Bohersallagh (later known as Applevale) is situated on the Craggaunboy River, approximately two miles from the village of Corofin. The name 'Bohersallagh' means 'The Boggy Road'. The property, composed of about 200 acres of river flats, was renamed 'Applevale', after the fruitful apple orchards. Although the orchards are long gone, the stone gateposts and the shell of the house still stand today.
The landowners of Applevale were:
-
Thomas BLOOD, b. 1640, d. 1726.
-
Neptune BLOOD, b. 1672, d. 1744 - Thomas' son, who changed the name of the property from 'Bohersallagh' to 'Applevale'.
-
William BLOOD, b. 1720, d. 1791 - son of Neptune's younger brother, Thomas, who d. before Neptune.
-
Neptune BLOOD, b. 1751, d. 9 Oct 1791 - William's son.

m.(1)
Robert GREENE,
b. abt. 1730;
d. 1752
Note: I have not established the connection between
Robert and Elizabeth
Greene (my 6th Great Grandmother; wife of Thomas Blood, Elizabeth's uncle). However, Robert was
known as Robert Greene of Old Abbey, and Elizabeth's
father was John Greene of Old Abbey, so it seems that
Robert was probably the son of one of
Elizabeth's brothers. As George was the only of Elizabeth's brothers who
survived their father, and John Greene's estate passed to George in 1745,
it is very likely be that George Greene is Robert's father.
Abigail and Robert married abt. 1750.
