Douglas landholdings in Gransha

The map of Gransha townland drawn in 1793 by James Williamson, Surveyor for Lord Dungannon, delineates the boundaries of the land leases by the various farmers and includes their acreages and values.
 
By the late nineteenth century, the Douglas family occupied a compact cluster of farms in the southern part of Gransha townland. Plots 84B, 90A and 90B, held by Robert and Samuel Douglas, lay beside Plot 19, forming a continuous family estate along the Rathfriland road. These lands, recorded in Griffith's Valuation and later PRONI revisions, mark the enduring Douglas presence in Dromara parish - a lineage rooted in the same fields for more than a century.
