On the eve of his departure through the Isthmus of Panama, Henry wrote a letter dated 26 February 1853 to his brother Frederic expressing his hopes and fears.

John Potterton I leased Rathcormick, for three lifetimes, on 28 July 1710 from Thomas Bligh of Rathmore, Esq., a Member of Parliament for County Meath. The property was among the lands purchased by Bligh after King James II was deposed and fled to France around 1689, forfeiting his holdings, and the Parliament of England passed the Purchasers of Forfeited Estates Act for Ireland in 1702. The act, implemented for the relief of the Protestant purchasers of the forfeited estates in Ireland, was repealed in 1871.1,2,3,4
