ROD 400 198 263357 JOHNSTON-OLIVER
Feb 6, 1738
|
The new bit of information that this deed adds to the mix is the fact that Andrew OLIVER, Chandler was a brother of Elizabeth Maria and Benjamin.
Lislooney, Parish of Tynan, Co. Armagh. In the early 1800s, a century after this Deed, a Benjamin OLIVER was registered as a freeholder at Lislooney and other records show the family there after this time. http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/1718June11-JOHNSTON-OLIVER.html http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/1750Oct22_OLIVER-NORRIS.html http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/1766Jan10-JohnOLIVER-JosephJOHNSON.html Tullymore http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/1768Sept2GLOVER-OLIVER.html http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/1774May12-OLIVER-KERR.html http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/1792Dec24_KERR-OSBURN-OLIVER.html http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1773Aug13-OLIVER.html

Much of the same info – adding:
The said Deed of Assignment witnesseth that the said Arthur OLIVER for and in consideration of five shillings to him paid by the said Benjamin OLIVER do grant bargain sell release and Confirm unto the said Benjamin OLIVER his heirs and assigns… [land mentioned in previous deed]
[1] Nicholas JOHNSTON of Woodpark, Armagh. The JOHNSTONs were landlords in the area.
[2] Woodpark, Parish of Tynan, Co. Armagh. Woodpark Wood Park Lodge is in the townland of Ballynameta, Parish of Tynan, Co. Armagh. It is just to the east of Lislooney – separated only by the townland of Dillay. It was the long time residence of the JOHNSTON family.
[3] Arthur OLIVER
[4] Ballynahonebeg , Parish of Lisnadill, Co. Armagh.
[5] Benjamin OLIVER
[6] Lissluny aka Lislooney Parish of Tynan, Co. Armagh. NOTE: There is an earlier lease involving a William OLIVER at Lislooney: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/1718June11-JOHNSTON-OLIVER.html
[7] Moss of Cavanapole
[8] Andrew OLIVER, chandler and brother of Benjamin and Elizabeth Maria OLIVER. The earliest lease I have in the name of an Andrew OLIVER chandler is 36 years later dated 12 May 1774 - house and garden on Thomas Street for term of 23 years yearly rent of ₤6.10.: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/1774May12-OLIVER-KERR.html Given that it was renewed 21 years later in 1792, it is possible that there is more than one generation of Andrew OLIVER, Chandler – but not necessarily. Assuming he was of full age in 1738, then he would have to be born before 1717. This would make him more than 75 years old at the time of the renewal in 1792.
[9] Elizabeth Maria OLIVER
[10] James OLIVER
[11] Alexander McILROY
