The extensive Abercorn Estate consisted of four manors in Co. Tyrone and another in Co. Donegal. Those in Tyrone were Donelong/Dunnalong, Cloghogle/Cloghogall, Strabane and Derrygoon/Derrywoon. The Donegal Estate contained the manor of Magavelin & Lismochery.
A huge collection of records relating to the management of this estate was presented to the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) by the Abercorn family and is catalogued under reference D/623 and these have also been microfilmed by the LDS.
