OLIVER, Andrew - PRINGLE 1758-1786
NOTES: 1765 Oct 30 Deed of Release between Andrew OLIVER[1] of Corrodonen[2] [?] in the Parish of Donagh & Co. of Monaghan, Farmer and Elizabeth OLIVER[3] wife of said Andrew OLIVER of the one part and William PRINGLE[4] of Caledon in the County of Tyrone, Gent of the other part £35 pd by PRINGLE for release one half part of the land of Mullin[5] formerly in the possess of Thomas GREISSON [6]deceased - abt 10 acres in Barony of Tohrany[7], Parish of Tynan & Co. Armagh. Witness Wm. DONNOLLY [8]wigmaker Bryan Mc[?]ANNA[9], Labourer both of Caledon.
[1] Andrew OLIVER of Corragh Down, Parish of Donagh, Co.
Monaghan is a mystery to me. The parish
of Donagh is on the Armagh border and close to the townlands of Lislooney and
Derryhaw where several OLIVERs held leases for several generations. I suspect a relation to the William OLIVER of
Farmacaffley, Co. Armagh – possibly given the
time frame, a brother (and hence linked to various Co. Tyrone OLIVERs ). If
they were brothers, their father would probably be an Andrew. (SOURCE: p. 11 Henry
(William) Oliver: 1807-188: Ancestry and Descendants by Henry Oliver Rea, 1959. I base this link on
the mention in the DEED: 234-237-152813 with his link to the townland of
Carriketee and Canaveagh – both townlands that would seem to tie in to Creevy
(Oliver) and other deeds that connect to the OLIVERs of Ballinahonebeg (the townland beside
Farmacaffley).
[2] Corradown AKA Corragh Down, Parish
of Donagh, Co. Monaghan – it was part of the Leslie estates in the mid-1800s.
[3] Elizabeth OLIVER. As yet, I do not know who she might
be.
[4] William
PRINGLE of Caledon in the County of Tyrone, Gent. His will was probated 1779. He
was the son of John PRINGLE of Lyme Park. The family shows up as signatories on
many OLIVER leases.
[5] Mullin AKA Mullan, Parish of Tynan,
Co. Armagh. This townland touched the townland of Lislooney – a townland that
William OLIVER held a lease to as early as 1718.
[6] Thomas
GREISSON
[7] Barony of
Tohrany AKA Barony of Tiranny, Co. Armagh
[8] Wm.
DONNOLLY wigmaker of Caledon, Co. Tyrone
[9] Bryan
Mc[?]ANNA, Labourer, of Caledon.
