Sworn before me at Armagh in the County of Armagh this 11th day of January 1809 by virtue of a commission to me directed for taking oaths in said county and I know the Deponent Robt Livingston [31] [1] Patrick McCLELLAND. In 1808, twins David & Susanna were born to Patrick McCLELLAND of Laragh. SOURCE: Full Circle p. 42. These names are almost certainly an echo of the names of his wife’s parents. A Thomas McCLELLAND of Laragh was still an elder of 1st Ballybay in 1842 [2] Ballybay is a town in Monaghan where many ancestors in our family trees come from or pass through. [3] Margaret OLIVER, daughter of David OLIVER of Ballyrea and sister of Joseph & William OLIVER. Her mother’s name was possibly Susanna. who died in 1808 after a long life (SOURCE: Belfast Newsletter).

David OLIVER. Just to confuse us, there are two David OLIVERs of
Ballyrea who had wills probated – one in 1800, the other
in 1807. I suspect that they are father and son.
I have yet to find the wills.
[5] Ballyrea is a townland in the Parish of Armagh, County Armagh. [6] John McCLELAND. 1st Ballybay Presbyterian Church has a tombstone that is almost certainly connected to this family. What is even more interesting, is that it is right beside the graves of James OLIVER (Abt 1741-1826) and Margaret OLIVER of Augnamullen and descendants. The stone reads: Here lyeth the body of Samuel McCLELAND of Laragh w.d. 5th March 1805, a 79 years; also Samuel McClelland, son to John McClelland of Ballibay w.d.t.l. January 1808, a. 15 years. Also Jane McClelland wife of John McClelland of Ballibay w.d.t.l. 18th February 1818 a. 77 years. SOURCE: At the Ford of the Birches. p. 127. NOTE: On the other side of this grave is likely another family connection: Mary McCULLAGH, and her husband David McCULLAGH (1769-1824). Her second husband was William HANNA of Ballibay. Also, in 1812, John McCLELLAND (treasurer of the poor money) was one of the elders of the church during John MORELL’s ministry along with Thomas McCLELLAND. SOURCE: Full Circle, p. 41. A Thomas McCLELLAND of Laragh was still an elder of 1st Ballybay in 1842 SOURCE: Transcription of church records thanks to Wendy JACK.

Rev. Dr. Henry LESLIE. The LESLIE family had married into the OLIVER
family. (Nathaniel LESLIE (son of William LESLIE) m. Martha OLIVER
and they had a son, David LESLIE. Martha was a sister of the William
OLIVER (Abt. 1764-Abt. 1844) who married Mary Anne HYDE. [11] Tandragee, Co. Armagh. Since the above footnote indicates Co. Down, I wonder if the parish borders changed. [12] John LEE. There is an 1807 deed between Joseph OLIVER of Tullymore and Joseph Lee, Innkeeper of Armagh. The relationships between the two families are currently unknown, but there are some enticing clues about where to look next. In 1797 there was an Armagh Presbyterian record of a son James OLIVER LEE born to John LEE and Margaret OLIVER. To increase the intrigue, in BRADSHAW'S 1819 DIRECTORY FOR ARMAGH CITY there was also a mention of OLIVER LEE, ironmonger of Thomas Street. Interestingly, there was also a William OLIVER, farmer of Thomas Street mentioned in this directory. This address is of interest because there was an Andrew OLIVER of Thomas Street who had a lease dated 1774 that was renewed in 1793. This Andrew OLIVER was described as a chandler. The occupation of chandler also comes up for another OLIVER in another deed. [13] Alexander McCLELAND? There is an Alexander McCLELLAND who turns up in the Ballyalbany Presbyterian Church records. His wife is Jean LOWDEN of Corness and their 1st daughter Elizabeth was born in 1808. Their 1st son William was born in 1815. [14] Laragh is a townland in the Parish of Aghnamullen, Co. Monaghan. (NOTE: There are other townlands named Laragh, but this one fits the description of being beside Cornacarrow in the earlier lease thatthis lease refers to. [15] John LEES [16] John & James LEE. Whether these are sons of the first John LEE, I do not know. [17] Rev. John McCREERY? The CREERY family had extensive flour mills in Tandragee. [18] WILSON? [19] Ballalley? [20] Patrick McCABE? [21] Dr. McMURRAY? The McMURRAY family of Co. Monaghan is in the family tree in a few places. The Will probates of Clogher list an Andrew McMURRAY of Ballybay in 1822. An Andrew McMURRAY married Elizabeth McCULLAGH (b. abt 1730). Also, an Andrew McMURRAY of Caddagh, Ballybay married a Sarah OLIVER (b. abt 1789) daughter of Thomas OLIVER & Margaret McCLELLAND. There is also a John McMURRAY of Caddagh who died in 1830. I expect him to be related. [22] MORROW? [23] Samuel McCLELLAND. According to the tombstone inscription, he died at age 15 in January 1808 (therefore born 1793), a son of John McCLELLAND of Ballibay. This would mean the original lease had been made in 1802. [24] Margaret McCLELLAND – Sister of Samuel MCCLELLAND and daughter of John McCLELLAND of Ballybay. [25] Hugh McCLELLAND. Brother of Samuel McCLELAND and son of John McCLELLAND of Ballybay. [26] Nappage also named Nappagh, a townland [27] Thomas McCLELLAND? Of Nappagh, Co. Monaghan Linene Draper. [28] Benjamin OLIVER. I wonder if he is the Benjamin of Lislooney or of Ballyrea or both?

William HUTCHINSON (1758-1827) SOURCE: 1828 Jan 4 The Newry Commercial Telegraph In Ballyrath, near Armagh, on the 27th ult., in the 69th year of his age, the Rev. WILLIAM HUTCHINSON, a gentleman who signalized himself at an early period of his life in Trinity College, Dublin, as an accomplished scholar. He was a man of extensive information--whose mind was stored with interesting anecdotes, which he related with great candour, energy, and humour. He was a fond husband--a kind and affectionate father--a steady friend--and a man who wished well to the whole human race. He was the survivor of three brothers, who in the prime of their youth attracted universal attention at the general reviews of Volunteer Corps in Belfast and Newry, for their remarkable elegance and symmetry of features and of form. In activity -- in muscular power, they could not have been excelled by any three men in Ulster. Mr. Hutchinson, prior to his entering into the Church, was a member of the Second Armagh Corps of Volunteers, raised in the year 1789, in which he was a very active and useful member. [30] Ballyrath is a townland in the Parish of Armagh, Co. Armagh. It is on the western border of Tullymore, home of Joseph OLIVER. [31] Robert LIVINGSTON. His name appears on other Deeds. |
