Young was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge. He was Chaplain to George Montagu-Dunk, 2nd Earl of Halifax, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland who appointed him to the Deanery of Clogher in 1761. In 1763 he became Bishop of Dromore in 1765 he was translated to Ferns.

Edward Maxwell Daniel married Edmund Ferrers daughter Isabella.
Edmund's wife dies so I am assuming he left his property to his daughter and then it passed into the daniells family.
They must of acquired it from the church around 1830s because in a previous document 1824 Edmund Ferrers leases the mill from the lord bishop of ferns.
The Coclough papers from tintern abbey have some items relating to gardamus.
A deed dated 1770 for gardamus great is in that collection.
And some other things in that collection are of interest.
