Part of the Kilteel estate had passed to the Earl of Tyrconnell before 1669. Between 1669 and 1677 Tyrconnell granted several leases of lands in Kilteel. Jonathan Hayes and James Ashton held the '"millfarm"' for 51 years from 1670; a 38-year lease of '"Porters-farme"' to James Sharpe from 1670 had passed to Daniel Reading by 1703; George Eaton held Cromwellstown for 39 years from 1670; William Palmer held a portion of Kilteel for 99 years from 1670 and in 1677 Thomas Cholmondley was granted a portion including the modern townland of Cupidstown for 51 years. Daniel Reading also held the lease of Kilteel Castle and the adjacent lands. After the Williamite Wars Tyrconnell was attainted and his lands confiscated. The castle and " 'Reading's farm, being part of Kilteele' " with 376 plantation acres, were bought by the Hollow Sword Blade Company for £976 on 23 June 1703. This estate was sold to Sir William Fownes in 1706.
