[1] David OLIVER (1725-Feb 1806), husband of Susannah WALKER. Curiously in spite of all the leases involving Ballyrea, he does not show up in the PRONI Freeholders Records with that particular holding. In fact the only David OLIVER to show up there is one at Bangor, Co. Down in 1813-1821.
[2]
Susanna OLIVER née WALKER. There is an internment record at
St. Marks for a Susanna OLIVER of Ballyrea dated March 24, 1808.
This matches with the newspaper account: Belfast Newsletter March
29, 1808: At Ballyrea, near Armagh. During the course of a long life,
she fulfilled the duties of a daughter, wife and parent with undeviating
propriety: as she lived beloved and esteemed so will her death be
long regretted not only by her family and friends but by the neighbouring
poor, to relieve whose distress her heart was always alive and hand
open.
[3] Ballyrea is a townland in the Parish of Armagh, County Armagh. [4] Thomas WALKER of Ballydonagh in the County of Antrim farmer [5] Ballydonagh AKA Ballydonaghy, Parish of Camlin, Co. Antrim [6] Leonard WALKER He is listed in the Antrim Deputy Check Book of 1776 as the freeholder of Ballydonaghy as well as resident there. SOURCE: PRONI D/1364/L/1. He is likely the same Leonard WALKER of Glenavy, Co. Antrim who shows up in the Armagh Probate Records with a will dated 1777. He is a good candidate to be the father of Susanna WALKER. There is no record in the Index of Irish Wills by Enneclann. There is a graveyard at Ballydonaghy [7] Parish of Glenavy, Manor of Killuta. I don't know where this is. [8] Francis WHILLA. I could not find WHILLA in either the Enneclann Will indeces nor in PRONI Freeholders lists. Son of of George WHILLA and probably Frances STEEL Francis WHITLA – son of George and Elinor WHITLA of “Gobrana” in Glenavy. Francis was born approx 1733. He later owned the property “Glendonna”. [9] Elinor WHILLA Daughter of George WHILLA and ? Elinor WHITLA was born late 1720s or 1730s to George and Elinor Whitla of “Gobrana”. [10] George WHILLA Father of son Francis & daughter Elinor WHILLA George WHITLA – born “Gobrana” abt 1689 and died there in 1762. [11] Francis STEEL [12] William STEEL. The name occurs often in PRONI Freeholders Lists, but not in relation to Ballydonaghy. [13] Lord Baron CONWAY [14] Isabella Leonard WALKER No record in Enneclann Will indeces. I suspect a connection to an earlier GERVASE WALKER, son of Thomas WALKER & Isabel ABELL, who was born Abt. 1566 in Kilmore, Armagh, Ireland, and died 15 Sep 1677.
