John Cuttle (1790-1841) of Ardkeenagh (son of George Cuttle of Estersnow) was baptising children in Estersnow Church of Ireland since 1816.
With his first wife Margaret Cuttle (1797-1817) three children appear on church records: Anne Cuttle b. 1813, George Cuttle b. 1816 and Mary Anne Cuttle b. Jun 1817. His wife, Margaret's burial was recorded soon after.
John then married Mary Purdue and baptised a large family in Estersnow from 1819-1838. Among their emigrating children were:
-
Jane Cuttle (born Oct. 1823 dau. of John) who married Benjamin C. Rea of Knockrush (born July 9, 1819 son of Adam Rea) on June 8th 1848. Later that month they emigrated to the U.S. arriving in New Orleans in Aug., 1848, they finally settled in Morgan County, IL in 1849.

John farmed at Ardkeenagh until 1877, when they migrated to New Zealand arriving at Port Chalmers (Dunedin) on 29 December.
CUTTLES OF KNOCKROE & ARDKEENAGH at ESTERSNOW
In the townland of Knockroe near Rushfield (civil parish of Estersnow) there is a field still known today as "Cuttles field". The small lane leading to Cuttle’s field is known as Cuttle's boreen. (SOURCE)
In 1858, at the time of Griffith's Valuation, the only farm recorded in the parish of Estersnow was that of John Cuttle & Anne Ekins (son of John Cuttle & Mary Purdue). "Cuttles Field" at #5a Knockroe, was a farm of 18 acres, just north of Cavetown Lough, on the boundary with Ardkeenagh.
George Cuttle (1760-1837) of Estersnow potentially had the following sons (naming their children after him)
-
Maurice Cuttle & Mary ? of Ardcarna (sic) aka Ardkeenagh baptised a George in 1804.
