James OLIVER [SEAL] etc sworn 2 Aug 1785.

[1] Rev. Andrew OLIVER of Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh. He shows up there in the 1788 poll of electors.

[2] Andrew OLIVER of Newtownhamilton. Brother of William OLIVER of Mullinture.

[3] John OLIVER of Tullymore. One John OLIVER of Tullymore died in 1772 (SOURCE: Will Probate). He was the father of Rebecca OLIVER & Andrew OLIVER and also was the brother of William OLIVER –the bachelor linen draper who died probably in 1779.

[4] Tullymore, in the Parish of Armagh. SEE My web page under Maps for Tullymore.

[5] James OLIVER of Augsebragh. I can’t yet place him. In the same time frame as this lease, PRONI Freeholder records show a James OLIVER of Tulnaloobe (AKA Tullynaloob) – a townland in the Parish of Drumkeeran, Co. Fermanagh.

[6] Augsebragh. There is no townland with the name in modern times. My best guess is Armaghbrague in the southernmost tip of the Parish of Lisnadill and with Tullyvallen (Parish of Newtownhamilton) on its southern border. Could he then be a son of Andrew OLIVER of Newtownhamilton?

[7] William OLIVER. This is probably the father of William, Mary & Andrew OLIVER, the same William OLIVER who died in 1726 (SOURCE: Will Probate)

[8] Mullinture AKA Mullanture is in the Parish of Eglish, Co. Armagh. It is bordered on the east by Tullysarren.

[9] Tullysarren, Parish of Eglish, bordered on the west by Mullanture.

[10] William OLIVER. Probably the bachelor linen draper who died in 1779.

[11] Andrew OLIVER – this would be the one of Newtownhamilton.

[12] Henry HUTCHINSON – there may be a familial connection. In 1776 a Robert OLIVER married Agnes HUTCHINSON (SOURCE: National Archives 2007 Notes on Armagh Marriages). The 1833 Tithe Appointments for Eglish Parish show a Robert OLIVER at Mullinture.
