John and Letitia Walsh lived at Ballybeg Townland in Taghsheenod Parish for many years, and certainly up to the time of John Walsh's death (buried 22 June 1838 in Taghsheenod Cemetery according to Bishop's Visitation). The farm was in the hollow just north of the hill where Richmount is located.

The family appears in registers and register transcripts for several of the area parishes besides Taghsheenod, including Taghshinny, Killcommock and Moydow. The surviving registers were in the local custody of Canon Kingston in Ballymahon as of 2006, and many of them were actually transcriptions with the originals sent to Dublin where they burned in the 1922 Four Courts siege.
