==Early history==
Before the Plantation of Ulster in the early seventeenth century, Prehen was in the freehold of
Captain Manus O'Cahan but was taken over by the Goldsmiths' Company of London. The first settlers arrived in the 1620s but it was not until 1664 when the land was granted by charter
to Alexander Tomkins, who established the main house, that it became truly habitable. Later, in 1738, the Prehen heiress Honoria Tomkins, great granddaughter of Tomkins, married Andrew Knox of Rathmullan and Moneymore; he was the great great grandson of Andrew Knox, Bishop of the Isles who first arrived in Ireland in 1609 from Scotland to establish the Protestant faith. In this way, Andrew Knox of Rathmullan and Moneymore acquired Prehen as his third property in 1740 after which he set about building Prehen House which stands in Prehen to this day.
