Carrickistuck History from Deeds (Saved under Deeds)
Carrickistuck is a townland of 229 acres in the Parish of Philipstown. At the time of the 1740 Census, it was in the Parish of Castletown (NOTE: I do not know when the Parish boundaries and/or names changed). On its north eastern border is the river of Castletown, on the south-east, the townland of Philipstown; on the south, Barronstown, to the west Clonaleenan and Annaghvacky and to the north-west, Cavananore. The families connected to these lands also had significant business and family connections with people living in these neighbouring townlands.
For a listing of lessors and lessees and valuations at the time of Griffiths for Carrickistuck and some of the adjacent townlands, SEE: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/TABLES/Louth-GriffithsTable.html
NOTE: I have also included a few related deeds that mention the same COULTERs who show up in Carrickistook aka Carrickistook aka Carrickistuck (etc. – computers need to know all spellings in order to find information!)

1776 Dec 4 |
Deed: 323 232 213562 NOTE: I clearly have inaccuracies in my notes re: rent (was it £57.7.6 or £7.7.6 – I recorded both, as well was the acreage: 136A or 135A. I recorded both versions. This deed between John COULTER of Carrickastuck and William POLLOCK (land in the possession of William POLLOCK - I assume a sub-lease?) refers to an earlier lease from the late Lord BELLEW dated the 4th day March 1734 of the said lands of Carrickistook . for the lives of Wm. COULTER, John COULTER and James COULTER, son of Charles COULTER. The acreage of 136A in this new deed is substantially less than the deed of 1734 March 11 (223 acres) because 1/3 of it had been demised to William BELLEW by John COULTER. A Catherine COULTER is also mentioned as is the townland of Longfield[1], Co. Monaghan. SEE: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/1776Dec4-COULTER-POLLOCK.html |

1811-1820 |
DONALDSON to COULTER Deed: 751-451-510986 |
[1] Longfield, Co. Monaghan. I find the Longfield connection interesting because of its association with the JOHNSTON family.

[3] Joseph DONALDSON (1727-1805) brother of Andrew DONALDSON.
[4] James COULTER The question is how does he tie in to the DONALDSONs? I suspect that the first wife of Andrew DONALDSON may have been a COULTER – possibly tied in to the COULTERs of Carrickastuck (the next townland over from Annaghvacky). . They had a child, Mary DONALDSON.
[5] Alexander DONALDSON (1771-1843)
[6] John DONALDSON (aft 1838) His preface to A historical and Statistical Account of the Barony of the Upper Fews. was dated 1st March 1838.
