NOTES

  1. Ballacooley
  2. Married Rich Cannell in 1659 - children Gilbert (1669); Bahie (1671); Ellin (1673); Nich (1676). No baptism records for Kath or Margaret but both also mentioned in will
  3. Two marriages for Ellin Mc ylrea & Rich Cannell couples - one Ellin died in 1690/1 and the other in 1700
  4. The Ellin who died in 1690/91 was born about 1630 (NOTE: I believe there is an error in her age and she was probably 70 when she died, not 60 which would put her birth during the early 1620s)
  5. The Ellinor Cannel als Mylrea who died in 1700 might have been the daughter-in-law of Ellinor Cannell als Mylrea who died in 1689/90. Her son Gilbert was the tenant of Ballacooley in 1680 but he died in 1725, naming his siblings as his children's supervisors
  6. Rich Cannell who died in 1689 had children Ellinor, Hugh and Donald so was not the husband of Ellin who died in 1700 (and probably not the husband of Elin who died in 1690) since the children's names are different
  7. 1679 LIVES FOR MICHAEL - record of an Ellin Mcylrea, daughter of Ric Mcylrea (and possibly wife of Rich Cannell) - in fact, this is a mistake and she was the daughter of Thomas
  8. 1687 COMPOSITION BOOKS shows Rich Cannell & Thomas Gremsher as partners on Ballacooley (see name of witness to Ellin's 1700 will)
  9. Several Mylrea-Cannell marriages in Michael in the 1600s (Jony Mylrea & William? Cannell ; Ellin & Rich Cannell m1659; Jane Mylrea & Jon Cannell c1670; Mary Mylrea & Rich Cannell c1690)
