NOTES

  1. ALL COLBY - Close Moar
  2. David was the older son of David Mylroie snr & Margaret Kermott als Killey, baptised 1762. His father settled the family estate [Close Moar] on David in 1781.A part of Close Moar had enn given to Margaret in the Marriage Contract between David & Margaret, by Margaret's family in 1755
  3. 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)
  4. David made a Settlement upon his oldest son James in 1829
  5. David made a Settlement on his youngest son Robert in 1833, perhaps because this son cared for his parent in their old age
  6. Catherine Mylroie als Quayle died 1834
  7. Oldest son James unfortunately died before his father and the lands settled on him by his father were transmitted to James's oldest son, Thomas, who ppassed it on to his son Joseph
  8. 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
