---

[1] Charles SEAVER. According to the 1782 DEED: 242429, Sarah SEAVER was his widow. NOTE: In 1762, a will for a Charles SEAVER was probated. NOTE: Need to find her maiden name. It could be JACKSON or more likely OLIVER. NOTE: A Nicholas SAVER was registered in the 1663 Hearth Rolls Records at Ballyaghy. I would expect him to be a relation if not also an ancestor.

[2] Ballinahonebeg also known as Ballynahonebeg is a townland in the Parish of Lisnadill bordered by Farmacaffley, The Kennedies, Ballyards, Moneypatrick. Umgola touches at the northern tip. All these townlands are significant with respect to several other OLIVER leases.

[3] David VERNER. Died before 1772. SEE Also 1772 May 11 LEAVER (or SEAVER) – JACKSON DEED: 190992. I have not done any work on this, but VERNER is a name that crops up in many leases both in Armagh & Monaghan.

[4] Gillis is not a townland name that shows up in contemporary townland names. I do not know where it is.

[5] Cargagh is a townland in the Parish of Armagh. I don’t know where in Armagh Cargagh Road is.

[6] HUTCHESONs. I do not know who this might be, but it is possibly significant that in 1776 a Robert OLIVER married an Agnes HUTCHINSON (SOURCE: Notes on OLIVER marriages at NA, Dublin) and that there is also a HUTCHINSON-WALKER deed for Ballinahonebeg (which I have yet to look at). With respect to WALKER, bear in mind that David OLIVER of Ballyrea married a Susanna WALKER sometime before 1764 when their twins were born.

[7] John VERNER. I have not done any work on this, but VERNER is a name that crops up in many leases both in Armagh & Monaghan.

[8] Termagranen. This is not a contemporary townland name.

[9] Richard SEAVER NOTE: A Nicholas SAVER was registered in the 1663 Hearth Rolls Records at Ballyaghy. I would expect him to be a relation if not also an ancestor.

[10] Bellaghy. I expect this is in Eglish Parish and is the same townland as the one called Ballyaghy. NOTE: A Nicholas SAVER was registered in the 1663 Hearth Rolls Records at Ballyaghy. I would expect him to be a relation if not also an ancestor.

[11] Thomas CARR of Armagh. I have no information on him.
