1790 Mar 10 DEED: 485-366-307174 OLIVER- WHALEY

 

NOTES: Wm OLIVER [1] of Ennislare [2] in parish & Co. Armagh & Francis OLIVER [3] of Ennislare ... Thomas WHALEY [4] of Dublin had leased on 10 Mar 1790 to Wm. OLIVER abt 31 acres of Ennislare “meared and bounded on the north by Farmacaffly [5] on the west by Townland of Err [6] . Witness William OLIVER & James OLIVER [7] both of Ennislea [8] , linen drapers. William OLIVER jr. [9] was the witness

 



[1] William OLIVER of Ennislare – I am assuming this is William OLIVER who married  Elizabeth STEEL in 1757 and was the father of the Francis & William jr. mentioned in the deed. He would probably have been the son of another William OLIVER – the one who shows up in Parish Registers as the father of David OLIVER.

[2] Ennislare, Parish of Lisnadill, Co. Armagh is on the southern border of Farmacaffley.

[3] Francis OLIVER of Ennislare is a daughter of William OLIVER and Elizabeth STEEL. SOURCE: Gravestone of her brother Benjamin OLIVER. A will for a Frances OLIVER, spinster of Enagh was probated January 14, 1837. It is most likely her as it seems she never married.

[4] Thomas WHALEY? I took very fast notes of : "WHALEY, Richard. incl Farimmacsetaney als Farinmcouth ...Enislare ... Ballyscandle. 1 Nov 1707 fro 21 years"SOURCE: Abstracts from the rentals of the archbishops of Armagh, 1615-1746 copied by T.G.F. Paterson. He may be the scoundrel described here:   http://www.irelandseye.com/irish/people/famous/whaley.shtm NOTE: It might help to see if there is a WHALLEY-OLIVER deed for Mar 10, 1790.

[5] Farmacaffley, Parish of Lisnadill is a townland that the OLIVERs have inhabited already for more than a hundred years – first records in the Hearth Money Roll  of the 1660s.

[6] Err? To the west is the townland of Ballyards on the maps that I have.

[7] James OLIVER of Ennislare? Linen draper. He could be either a son of William sr. or a brother – or neither. He does not show up in other corroborating records in either case. There is a brother of Benjamin OLIVER (1765-1831) mentioned in the 1931 will of Benjamin OLIVER.

[8] Ennislea. This is probably Ennislare as I can find no townland named Ennislea.

[9] William OLIVER jr. I am assuming he is the son of William OLIVER & Elizabeth STEEL.
