BALLs of Armagh Leases – and several leases of other BALL families in Ireland

These are notes that I have done for my own purposes – some entries are more complete than others.

NOTE: The various branches of the BALL family intermarried – more than once - so it is worth looking sideways when trying to make sense of the land transactions of the various BALLs of Co. Armagh. My personal interest in tracking the BALLs is because of their connections to JACKSONs of Urcher [aka Urker], Parish of Creggan as well as Tullyvallen, Parish Newtownhamilton (which was previously included in the Parish of Creggan). The BALLS were landlords to generations of the JACKSONs of Urcher and were also related to the JACKSONs of Coleraine.
