[1] John BARTLEY (1798-1871) of Coothill in the County of Cavan Mercht SOURCE: At the Ford of the Birches p 137: 2nd Ballybay graveyard inscription, 11: of Corbyfin, d. 30 Mar 1871 a 73; husb of Letitia, father of Francis Alexander.

[2] Coothill, Parish of Drungoon, Co. Cavan

[3] George BARTLEY of the Town of Monaghan Esq. I suspect that he was the George BARTLEY (1752-1800), husband of Christina METGE and son of Robert BARTLEY and possible Jane McCLELLAND.

[4] Agnes BARTLEY. I do not know how she fits in – although I suspect a connection to the Rev Joseph BARKLEY of Magherra, Co. Derry whose father was James BARKLEY and but a James BARKLEY and an Agnes BARTLEY were both mentioned in the 1791 DEED: 440 473 284746.

[5] Maghery, Parish of Maghery, Co. Derry aka Londonderry.

[6] Dunrimond Parish of Kilmore, Co. Monaghan.

[7] 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.

[8] DEED 1778 Dec 1 – NOTE: I don’t think I have seen this deed.
