The Hearth Tax was introduced into England in 1661, and into Ireland in 1662 and resulted in the Hearth Money Tax Rolls of 1664.

The following is a list of persons paying this tax who were resident in Rosbercon parish (which adjoins the parish of Glenmore). The list below was recorded by Danny Dowling (1927-2021) (DD Notebook 4).
