NOTES

  1. This was the second sale of Ballacorraige land by Nicholas jnr in 1808 (discounting the Crow events), which in total netted the family £180
  2. Presumably it was required to pay off the outstanding mortgages, in order to settle what was left of the estate on William, the oldest son
  3. Curiously, the attestation that Margaret Mylrea "acknowledge the same to be her act and deed" in 1820 flies in the face of the knowledge that Margaret Mylrea had died a decade ago. The hearing in the Court of Common Law in 1820 is also interesting. William had died in 1816. Perhaps it was the beginning of the process through which the guardians of son and heir of William jnr sought to restore the boy's inheritance
  4. Sale recorded in LV May 1813, after Margaret's death in 1810. Known as Intack #16
