NOTES

  1. This mortgage was taken by William the same day that the Ballacorraige estate was settled on him. It is difficult to know precisely what was settled on him since several pieces of Ballacorraige land had been mortgaged or sold in the preceding years. This current mortgage might have been an attempt to consolidate the debt
  2. Events after this mortgage included (1) William selling two small parcels of Ballacorraige for a total of £21/15/- in 1816, (2) William dying in 1816, (3) William's widow Ellinor taking another mortgage with Thomas Kelly for £25 in 1821, and (4) the guardians of William jnr taking a mortgage for £284 with Thomas Kelly, presumably to consolidate the debt over Ballacorraige and hopefully save the estate for William's son, William jnr
  3. The lands involved in this mortgage were recorded as returned to William Mylrea jnr in LV 1830
