MCCOLLAGH and FISHERs Marr. Setttlement Ref 29^th Nov 1838 11 o’clock forenoon

NOTE: I know little of who the people mentioned in this deed are, but I do find the interconnections between Co. Tyrone, Co. Down and Co. Monaghan quite fascinating and suspect that I will make more sense of them as I progress. Perhaps with the help of others.
