Reverend Lewis Algeo

• The Algeo family occupied an estate in this part of Leitrim through much of the 19th century. As well as Glenboy they appear to have had another house at Hollymount where Robert Algeo is recorded in Leet's Directory of Ireland in 1814. McParlan includes Lewis Algro [sic] on a list of "resident gentleman of property" in 1802. In the 1870s Lewis Algeo owned 642 acres in county Leitrim and in 1901 Lewis Algeo, aged 88, was resident at Glenboy with a housekeeper and another servant.

There were two houses at Glenboy townland, one at least of which was part of the Clements estate but appears to have been leased for long periods to the Algeo family. John Marcus Clements, MP for Leitim, is described as "of Glenboy". He was nephew of Robert Clements, 1st Earl of Leitrim. A house at Glenboy was the residence of John Algeo in 1814. Glenboy is described as a seat of the Algeo family by Lewis in 1837 while Hollymount is the residence of the Armstrong family. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Lewis Algeo was leasing house at Glenboy, valued at £25, to Simon Armstrong while he was also leasing a house from the Clements estate valued at £12.
