1641 Creggan Parish Holdings of Henry O’Neil

SOURCE: Down Survey maps at Trinity College.

• 75 townlands were listed. Current maps of the Parish Creggan include 58 townlands. There have been many boundary shifts. Some are now included in the Parish of Newtownhamilton.

NOTE:

• Although the Trinity College site has recorded Thomas Ball as a Catholic, this is most likely a mix-up with the Balls of St. Audeon’s Parish, Dublin.  SOURCE: http://www.thepeerage.com/p26608.htm#i266078  The Catholic Thomas Ball was born in 1608. [Montgomery-Massingberd, Hugh. Burke's Irish Family Records. London, U.K.: Burkes Peerage Ltd, 1976.] He was the son of Bartholomew Ball and Jane Finglas.¹ He died in February 1679, unmarried.¹ He was buried at St. Audeon's Church, Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland^G.
• The Protestant Lieut. Thomas Ball who was assigned the lands that had belonged to Sir Henry O’Neill was a Protestant who had served in Cromwell’s army. He died in 1674, and his sons inherited his leases. It is alleged in the available sources that he was born in 1642, but I suspect that he was born earlier.

NOTE:

• The numbers which I have used in the left-hand column are to help me sort the townlands roughly North to South.
• X indicates townlands which were not included in Henry O’Neill’s holdings, but are currently within the boundaries of Creggan Parish.
• XX indicates the townlands which were also listed in the 1692 Ball Dividend with the names as they were spelled in that document.

Glasdrummanaghy was as far south as that map went. Possibly, Annaghgad was then included in what is now Co. Monaghan.
