[1] John OLIVER of Tullysarren. Given the date of this deed (1807) and the deed dated 1785 that deed Tullysarren to a James OLIVER, I wonder if John might be a son of James.

[7] I don’t have this lease. Need to search under Charlemount leases to see if there is a record in the Deeds Registry.

[9] Samuel KNIPE

[10] William OLIVER of Tullymore. He could be a son of John OLIVER of Tullymore.
