Listiernan

[1]) is a townland in the civil parish of Kildallan, barony of Tullyhunco, County Cavan, Ireland.

On 1 May 1611 James Craig leased, inter alia, 2 polls of Listernan to John mac Edmond Oge McKernan.

James Craige is their deputy for five years, who has brought 4 artificers of divers sorts with their wives and families and 2 other servants.

Stone raised for building a mill and trees felled, a walled house with a smith's forge built, 4 horses and mares upon the grounds with competent arms.

[7] An Inquisition held at Ballyconnell on 2 November 1629 stated that the two polls of Lysternan contained eleven sub-divisions named Drommean, Dromshorte, Knocknehearne, Tuonorbie, Kynnagh, Drommane, Tawnelyn, Corraghe, Knockneden, Knockeban and Tawnegallen.

In his will dated 20 June 1682 and proved in Dublin on 20 October 1683, Captain Ambrose Bedell directed that he should be buried in the churchyard of Kilmore beside his father.

He devised his lands in Carne and Listiernan, Dromheriffe and Uragh, Killerolyn with the two mills, Antner, Ardue, Clony, Clonachatige, and Greaghrahen, first to his nephew James Bedell and his heirs male; and failing such to his nephew Ambrose Bedell (James Bedell's next brother) and his heirs male; and, failing such, to his (the testator's) heirs next in blood to his father William, late Lord Bishop of Kilmore.
