NOTES

  1. ALL Colby - Close Moar
  2. This mortgage was assigned from David jnr to a third party in 1822. David's uncle John also loaned money on at least one occasion, and unlike many farming families, this was one that was able to lend funds
  3. David was the older son of David Mylroie snr & Margaret Killey, baptised 1762. His father settled the family estate [Close Moar] on him in 1781. It had originally been part of the 1755 Marriage Contract between David & Margaret, given by Margaret's family, considerably expanded by David snr in 1766
  4. David married Catherine Quayle 10 January 1789. Possibly nine children, six surviving to adulthood: James (1793-?), Thomas (1797-? ) William (1803-1848), Daniel (1808-1900) Robert (1811-1869), Margaret (1790-1851)
  5. David made a Settlement upon oldest son James in 1829
  6. David made a Settlement on youngest son Robert in 1833, perhaps because this son cared for his parent in their old age
  7. Nothing is known of the fate of sons James & Thomas although they were alive when their father died so in their 40s. Son Daniel was the successful shoemaker and business man who died in 1900
  8. Catherine Mylroie als Quayle died 1834
  9. Lonan parish registers from the early 1700s are far from complete so extreme caution must be exercised when attempting to draw conclusions about these families and their relationships
