Samuel GILMORE has the house worth £9.0.0 & David

The lease of the Police barrack & yard are connected
to William STITT (this would likely be the father of Gordon STITT)- lease
value of £8.0.0. He also owned a house valued at £3.5.0, another at £3.0.0 an
unoccupied one at £5.0.0 and significantly, one leased by him to Gordon
HOLMES valued at £12.0.0. It would have been down the street from where I
stayed at Murtaghs. |

David JACKSON had 55 acres leased. Presumably it was
reasonably fertile as it was valued at £41.10.0 while in the same parish
about 82 acres was valued as £43. Urker house was valued at £9.0.0. A much
grander house was leased by Margaret Anne BERNARD valued at £29.0.0. I
suspect that this became the CORR residence. There is also a Michael PIDGEON
– likely of the house that I thought was the pigeon house. A modest house,
valued at 10s. |

DONALDSON, Rev. Joseph; DONALDSON, Elizabeth. SEE also:
1871 Dec 18 document. In 1857, Elizabeth Johanna DONALDSON née JACKSON was assigned the farm. In 1858, Margaret BRADFORD assumed a mortgage. Margaret
BRADFORD (aunt of Elizabeth Johanna JACKSON and also of Eliza JACKSON née
OLIVER) died in 1874. Work started on a building for “Aunt Bessie” in 1874 –
I suspect this was at Kiltybane (need to clarify footnotes in one letter). It
seems that Bessie was rejected by the DONALDSON family – possibly as a result
of her son’s mental illness and her husband’s early demise (age 36). |

included 71 acres as well as buildings valued at £10.0.0. He also leased a
house & forge valued at £1.5.0 and three houses valued at 0.15.0. NOTE:
There were several holdings held by Thomas SIMPSON. NOTE: There was a Thomas
SIMPSON, a flour merchant in Armagh, who was named in the will of Benjamin
OLIVER to deal with his assets which in 1832 included holdings in Maghery
Kilcranny. Benjamin’s grand-daughter Mary JACKSON married William MENARY jr. Although
in the Griffiths records, Maghery House is leased by James HAGAN from Thomas
SIMPSON, ten years later when William MENARY (husband of Mary JACKSON) dies,
his residence is given as Maghery House. TO DO: Look at deeds under LYNE,
Anne. |

The buildings that Osborne KIDD leased from the Lord
Archbishop of Armagh as documented in the 1864 Griffiths are valued at £45.
The farmland amounts to 62 acres 2 roods. Total value of land and house =
£167.15.0. This acreage corresponds to earlier OLIVER presences on the land:
1766 Jan 10 – 77 acres of Tullymore leased by John OLIVER
from John JOHNSTON for 14 years. It is significant that the deed mentions: to
manage and repair the mill dam and mill race belonging to the mill of
Tullymore and also mentions Joseph OLIVER.
1776 will mentions nephew William OLIVER of Tullymore
(1807 Jan 20 deed)
1780 lease from 1766 would have matured. I have nothing of
this
1800 May 5 Robert WELSH-John OLIVER Lease of all the mills
and farm of Tullymore.
1803 John OLIVER married WHITESIDE -5 acres of Tullymore
part of agreement.
1804 Oct 31 Jane HAMILTON of Tullymore married
Joseph OLIVER. Laragh and Cavananore were offered up as an annuity should
Jane survive her husband (which she did). This is part of the legal and
financial underpinnings to the conflict in Laragh in the 1840s. Also of
interest: the lands of Tullymore then in the possession of the said Jane
Hamilton containing sixty acres three roods and thirty three perches
excepting as in said Indenture mentioned situate in the Parish and County of
Armagh aforesaid together with all and singular the houses buildings ways waters
easements and appurtenances thereunto belonging or in any wise
appertaining.
1807 May 6 Joseph OLIVER of Tullymore had 94 acres in the
Kennedies leased from John PRINGLE.

Adelaide Sarah KIDD leased to Joseph KIDD (Manager of
Belfast Banking Co.) The Belfast Bank Manager’s home valued at £98.0.0. I
suspect that she was the Adelaide KIDD who was the daughter of Thomas KIDD
& Sarah SHILLINGTON. Joseph KIDD was likely the son of Benjamin KIDD
& Agnes OSBORNE. Rev. Daniel Gunn BROWN[E] owned two houses (#73 &
74) just down the street that he leased out. They were valued at £28.0.0
& £46.0.0 |

Given that Andrew OLIVER held leases here in the late
1700s, the absence of any OLIVER name is significant. There is however a Jane
McCULLAGH. This could be the Jane OLIVER who married John McCULLAGH (she was
a sister of my g-g-grandfather Benjamin OLIVER). She leases out a couple of
houses at ££6.0.0 & £6.0.0. Further down the street, Messrs McCULLAGH
also leased a house valued at £8.0.0. The Misses KIDD had a house valued at
£10.00. Interestingly, there is also a sawmill with house and stored valued
at £46.0.0 owned by Rev. Samuel SIMPSON (Note the name SIMPSON as a witness
in will of Benjamin OLIVER). Leonard DOBBIN also had a house valued at
£24.0.0. |

abstract of a will for an Esther OLIVER who may be an ancestor of the one
who was alive in 1864 (Griffiths records). |
