NOTES

  1. ALL COLBY - Close Moar
  2. James's grandfather, David snr, took no land or possessions into his marriage to widow Margaret Kermott als Killey, although the Killey family contributed a portion of the Close Moar intack to the marriage in 1755
  3. David snr expanded the family holdings in 1766
  4. In 1781, David snr settled the family estate on David jnr.
  5. This current Settlement is David jnr passing the family's estate on to his oldest son, James
  6. James married Margaret Teare in 1829 in Patrick, a week after this Settlement
  7. They had four children: Thomas b1830, Margaret b1833, Eliza b1836, Joseph b1839
  8. Unfortunately, James died in 1839 and before his father who died in 1840, and the lands were transmitted to James's oldest son Thomas, who was not yet 10 years of age when his father died
  9. David jnr had also settled land on youngest son Robert Mylroie in 1733. When he died, David jnr was living with Robert so perhaps the Settlement on Robert was in recognition of his care for them in their latter years
