In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Bawnboy like this:
KILSUB, or BAWNBOY, a village, in the parish of TEMPLEPORT, barony of TULLAGHAGH, county of CAVAN, and province of ULSTER, 3 miles (N. W.) from Ballyconnell, on the road to Swanlinbar; containing 24 houses and 60 inhabitants. A fair is held here on the first Monday, and petty sessions on the second Monday, in every month. Near Bawnboy is the seat of F. Hasard, Esq., in a well-planted demesne; and there is a small boulting-mill.
