WILSON - MCCULLAGH

 

NOTE: Transcribed by Wendy Jack with capitalization of family names inflicted on it by Sharon Oddie Brown (in the interests of readily finding family names – the purpose of this site). Wendy’s transcripts are faithful to original spelling in the Memorial (which I really appreciate), but since I use voice recognition to do mine, I don’t attempt to replicate that level of detail.

[1] Alexander WILSON. NOTE: The name WILSON comes up in a number of deeds associated with the BARTLEYs. Margaret ORR who married George BARTLEY of Lossit was previously the widow of an Alexander WILSON.

[2] Denroman aka Dunraymond, Parish of Kilmore, Co. Monaghan.

[3] Aughavilly, Parish of Carrigallen, Co. Leitrim. This reference interests me considerably since David JACKSON, father of Sir Thomas JACKSON held a lease here at the time of his marriage (1838) to Eliza OLIVER. He seemingly lost his interest in it by the time of the Griffiths Valuation.

[4] Thos McCULLOUGH, Linen draper  I suspect this is the Thomas McCULLAGH (1764-1848) of Derryvalley who married Elizabeth REED of Slieveroe. His father’s full name is unknown and his mother is known only as “Elizabeth” SOURCE: PRONI D1968-2  1801 Will of Elizabeth McCULLAGH. He would have been an uncle of the Elizabeth McCULLAGH who was the grandmother of Sir Thomas JACKSON.

[5] Derryvalley Interestingly, in the Ordnance Survey Memoirs of Ireland. Volume 40 Counties of South Ulster 1834-8  is the following entry: Mr. McCULLAGH's farm of Derryvolly [sic] is kept in superior order.

[6] Losset There are four townlands named Losset. Going by BARTLEY holdings registered at the time of Griffiths (James BARTLEY & Margaret BARTLEY), I would suspect the Paris of Kilmore, Co. Monaghan is the appropriate one.

[7] Wm BREAKY, linen draper This is most likely the William BREAKEY (abt 1834-1808) of Drumskelt. He married Mary SCOTT with whom he had 13 known children.

[8] Drumskalt aka Drumskelt, Parish of Aghnamullen, Co. Monaghan.

[9] James LECKY. I do not yet know who this is, but I find it most interesting that in 1723 a James LECKY transferred lands in Co. Carlow to a Thomas JACKSON. NOTE: I hope to work on that line sometime August 2009.

[10] Chas GILLESPIE

[11] Arotuaghy. I suspect this is the townland of Ardaghy, Parish of Monaghan, Co. Monaghan.
