http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=WM&regno=15317049 OK, here is another part of what's confusing. It looks as if William did not acquire teh castle; John, his son, brother to Anne Clibborn who married John Miller, acquired the castle. John was born in 1623, and bought the castle in 1659. So now we don't know who lived there OR where they came from.
