Carrickistuck aka Carrickastuck is a townland of 229 acres in the Parish of Philipstown. At the time of the 1740 Census, it was in the Parish of Castletown (NOTE: I do not know when the Parish boundaries and/or names changed). On its north eastern border is the river of Castletown, on the south-east, the townland of Philipstown; on the south, Barronstown, to the west Clonaleenan and Annaghvacky and to the north-west, Cavananore. The families connected to these lands also had significant business and family connections with people living in these neighbouring townlands.

1776 Dec 4

Deed: 323 232 213562 NOTE: I clearly have inaccuracies in my notes re: rent (was it £57.7.6 or £7.7.6 – I recorded both, as well was the acreage: 136A or 135A. I recorded both versions.

This deed between John COULTER of Carrickastuck and William POLLOCK (land in the possession of William POLLOCK - I assume a sub-lease?) refers to an earlier lease from the late Lord BELLEW dated the 4th day March 1734 of the said lands of Carrickistook . for the lives of Wm. COULTER, John COULTER and James COULTER, son of Charles COULTER. The acreage of 136A in this new deed is substantially less than the deed of 1734 March 11 (223 acres) because 1/3 of it had subsequently been demised to William BELLEW by John COULTER.

A Catherine COULTER is also mentioned as is the townland of Longfield[1], Co. Monaghan. SEE: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/1776Dec4-COULTER-POLLOCK.html
