According to the Patent Rolls of James I, in 1618 the king granted the castle, town and lands of Annagh to Sir Lawrence Esmond, Knt. (Cal. pat. Rolls, Ire., Jas I, 359). The 'castle, town and lands of Annagh' which were part of the estate of Edmund Roe O'Kennedy (ibid., 356) were granted by the King to Sir Lawrence Esmond, Knt. (ibid. 359).
