In the Plantation of Ulster King James VI and I by grant dated 23 July 1610 granted the Manor of Clonyn or Taghleagh, which included one poll of Clonine alias Tagleagh (after which the Manor was named), to Sir Alexander Hamilton of Innerwick, Scotland.

[4] On 29 July 1611 Arthur Chichester, 1st Baron Chichester and others reported that- Sir Alexander Hamilton, Knt, 2,000 acres in the county of Cavan; has not appeared: his son Claud took possession, and brought three servants and six artificers; is in hand with building a mill; trees felled; raised stones and hath competitent arms in readiness.

Besides there are arrived upon that portion since our return to Dublin from the journey, as we are informed, twelve tenants and artificers who intend to reside there and build upon the same.

[5] An Inquisition held at Cavan on 10 June 1629 stated that the poll of Clonyn alias Taghleagh contained four sub-divisions named Tachamoir, Clonemeighragh, Tivilagh and Tivinagour.
