• Notes

  We now know that Thomas Vokes and his wife Elizabeth Barker were the parents of Thomas Vokes “the younger” who married Susanna Phillips in January 1767. Because of the Barker connection they are the most likely couple to have settled at Cragbeg, which had an imposing four storied mansion built on the land there. (See Taylor and Skinners 1777 Map). Cragbeg was the address of a George Vokes when he died in 1771, he was succeeded by a Thomas Vokes, who died in 1800. The Christian name of the heir is a strong hint that George’s father’s name was also Thomas. Thomas, who died in 1800 was succeeded by his son George. This George lost Cragbeg in the Court of Chancery in 1816. The Estate was encumbered with unpayable debts which could only be paid off by selling the lands or the lease on the lands.
