[2] Leslie Hall, Co. Armagh? I thought that Leslie Hall was in Co. Monaghan.

[3] Joseph OLIVER (1765-1837). This is just a year before his death. Curiously, if I am right about him also being the Joseph OLIVER at Tullymore, I would have thought that would have been his residence at this time.

[4] Benjamin OLIVER, brother of Joseph OLIVER. We do not know when (or even if) Benjamin OLIVER married. He died bet 1837-1840 at Ballyrea. A Mary OLIVER died March 11, 1834 at age 7 at Ballyrea and she may have been a descendant.

[5] Ballyrea, Co. Armagh was the long time home of the OLIVERs.

[9] Manor of Loghey [?] Barony & Co. of Armagh I don’t know where this is.

[10] Camack & Henry MAHALLAM This is a strange enough name that I suspect a transcription error. Possibly McCALLUM?
