NOTES

  1. John became the steward of Ballacooiley when his father John died in 1814 at the age of 76
  2. He was 55 when he took over, married to Eleanor Corlett and the father of 8 children, most of whom survived to adulthood
  3. Charlotte & Elizabeth were his daughters
  4. Brother Daniel (b1761) and Mary Hughes had eight children in Ballaugh. As a teenager, he had been left a small legacy by his grandfather, Daniel Clark "to put him to some honest trade" but there's no evidence of what that trade might have been
  5. His other brother, Thomas, who was baptised in 1781, was most likely the fellow who married Ann Cannon in Braddan, and worked as a gardener/labourer
  6. In 1868, Ballacooiley was lost forever when the oldest son of John jnr, Thomas, was drowning in debt and the bank stepped in and sold the estate
