[1] Robert WILSON the younger of Tandragee?
[2] Tandragee this is probably the one in the current Parish of Ballymore, although it could be the one in the Parish of Lisnadill.
[3] Arthur OLIVER – I suspect a link to Benjamin OLIVER of Ballinahonebeg and also Joseph OLIVER.
[4] Ballinahonebeg AKA Ballynahonebeg, Parish of Lisnadill.
[5] Benjamin OLIVER – NOTE: since he had the lands of Ballinahonebeg at the time mentioned in this deed (1765), he was likely an adult then. There is a probate for a Benjamin OLIVER of Ballinahonebeg in 1770. In the 1782 Sept 7 DEED: 242429 concerning SEAVER-JACKSON and Ballinahonebeg mentions a Benjamin OLIVER deceased. This all seems to link up. It is also interesting that this is the same year that David OLIVER made his forays in leases at Laragh. There might be a connection. Perhaps a family death released some money? Perhaps both lands had complementary uses?
[6] Robert WILSON the elder?
[7] Joseph OLIVER of Ballinahonebeg – father of John, Mary & Elizabeth. He died before 1796. His wife may have been Jane OATES (m. 1764 SOURCE: National Archive 2007 notes)
[8] John OLIVER of Ballinahonebeg – he may be the John OLIVER who was the son of Joseph OLIVER
[9] John McDAD?
[10] Lehnacollum AKA Latmacollum, Parish of Lisnadill, CO. Armagh. This is a little bit south-east of Ballinahonebeg – a few townlands removed.
