NOTES

  1. Nicholas Mylrea jnr & Margaret Kneen were married in 1774
  2. Kneenland was probably whatever remained of the three parcels of land contributed by Margaret's parents to her 1774 Marriage Contract with Nicholas Mylrea jnr. The sale price would tend to suggest that the land was not especially large or valuable Ellen beg was sold in 1808 for £86
  3. Earlier in 1810 there was a Settlement on William from his parents, endowing him with the "family estate" although it is questionable whethere there was actually anything for William to receive other than mortgaged land
  4. Margaret died 4th December 1810, five months after this sale
