By 1805 Andrew Saunders had a lease for 12 Irish acres on the Coolatin estate. It was good for the life of his son James, age 14 in 1805. His name appears in the yearly rental books for another 40 years. Evidently Andrew was alive in 1824 but was possibly dead by 1827 according to the Tithe Applotment and the Coolatin Tenants census of 1827. The 1840 townland map from the Coolatin Estate shows that James Saunders lived on lots 176-183 on the NW side of Knocknaboley. The lots form a thin strip across the west side of Knocknaboley, totaling 14 Irish acres.
