[1] Thompson BROWNE[E] Esq. (1837-1915), son-in-law of Eliza JACKSON (1815-1903) of Killynure. [2] James Birch GILLMER aka GILMORE. His grandfather, Alexander GILLMER (1835-1773) was the 2nd husband of Elizabeth BIRCH (1733-1812). Elizabeth BIRCH had married 1stly William BREAKEY (1712-bef1760) and they were the parents of Elizabeth BREAKEY (1758-1844) who married Thomas BRADFORD (1739-1790) of Cavananore. Elizabeth BREAKEY was one of Eliza’s grandmothers. [3] Thomas BRADFORD (1739-1790) of Cavananore. [4] Elizabeth BREAKEY (1758-1844), wife of Thomas BRADFORD (1739-1790). [5] Thomas McCULLAGH (1793-1877) of Derryvalley, who married his cousin Sarah McCULLAGH (1816-1857). She was a daughter of Thomas McCULLAGH (1786-1849) & Mary BRADFORD (1782-?). Mary BRADFORD was a daughter of Elizabeth BREAKEY (1758-1844) and Thomas BRADFORD (1739-1790). [6] Andrew Bradford OLIVER (1818-1877) of Killylea, brother of Eliza. [7] Rev. Mr. William REID (1829-1906) was the husband of Mary McCULLAGH (1840-1919). She was the daughter of Thomas McCULLAGH (1793-1877) of Derryvalley, and Sarah McCULLAGH (1816-1857). · When William Reid, minister of Derryvalley from 1854 moved in May 1883 to nearby Stonebridge, Ballybay Presbytery wrote to the Convener of the fairly new Committee on Unions of Congregations (note: suggesting the union of two parishes?) SOURCE: Full Circle David Nesbitt. 1999. p. 96 · "Rev. William Reid of Scarva ... had a ministry there of some 48 years and was succeeded there by a nephew, John Reid. The Reids were a ministerial family - John's son, Robert McAlister Reid, was minister of Glascar from his ordination in 1880 to his death 4 years later." ... educated at Old College Belfast gaining the General Certificate in 1849. He was licenced at Banbridge on 7 September 1852.As minister of Derryvally congregation he served almost 30 years until he resigned on 13 August 1883 having accepted a call from Stonebridge congregation. His ministry was one of a series of short ministries there, from 28 August to 31 March 1884, when he moved to Cremore, Co.Down. "When minister of Derryvally he was Clerk of Ballybay Presbytery from1875 until he left 'the bounds'". "It seems that the Reid family moved house several times in these years since when the first two children were born they lived at Cordevlish, at Balladian at the time of Thomas' birth, Caddagh for the next 3 and Ednaferkin for the remaining 4. SOURCE: Full Circle David Nesbitt. 1999.. p.344 · William Reid retired as minister of Cremore on 4 July 1898 and lived in Belfast until his death on May 1906.. SOURCE: Full CircleDavid Nesbitt. 1999.p. 346 [8] Alexander McCOMBE, a lawyer, had offices on Dame St. Dublin This was near where Thompson BROWN's father also had an office. My hunch this Alexander McCOMBE was related to Rev. Alexander McCOMBE, a minister of Freeduff Presbyterian Church. On a deed dated 1800, an Alexander McCOMBE of Castletown, Co. Louth Attorney was a witness. This may be the connection. SEE: ROD: 530-381- 348624. An Alexander McCOMBE was a lawyer who was a signatory in other DONALDSON documents. This one would likely be his son. [9] GILMORE, DICKIE, McCULLOUGH…. [10] Based on context, this is most likely to be John OLIVER (1841-1909) of Ballycrummy. I believe that he was the grandson of James OLIVER, a brother of Eliza’s father Benjamin OLIVER. It could also be his father, but I have no death date for his father who was also a John OLIVER (1810-?) of Tullamore [11] This would be David Jackson, Eliza’s husband. The mention of him in this context would be particularly galling since he was responsible for the loss of all the assets Eliza had brought into the marriage. [12] Andrew Coulter Bradford JACKSON (1846-1929), Eliza’s 3rd son. He and his wife Eliza GILMORE were about to move to Lions Den, Co. Meath, a property that he had bought since Cavananore was not available to him (although Eliza felt it should have been). [13] Andrew Bradford OLIVER (1818-1877), Eliza’s brother. [14] Alexander McCOMBE, see above. [15] William OLIVER (1815-1873) Eliza’s eldest brother. [16] Most likely Benjamin OLIVER (1842-1905), son of Andrew Bradford OLIVER and a nephew of Eliza. [17] Mary Jane OLIVER (1821-1875) of Cavananore – sister of Eliza [18] Liscalgot, home of Eliezer GILMORE (1845-1919) & Sarah JACKSON (1848-1942), 3rd daughter of Eliza. [19] Andrew Bradford OLIVER (1818-1877), Eliza’s brother. [20]. Killynure & Enagh SOURCE: Irish Times April 28, 1875. [21] Thompson BROWN (1837-1915) husband of Elizabeth JACKSON & son-in-law of Eliza. [22] Benjamin OLIVER, son of Andrew Bradford OLIVER [23] John OLIVER (1841-1909) – HUNCH: There is strong circumstantial evidence that he was the son of John OLIVER (1810-?) of Tullymore, a nephew of Benjamin OLIVER. [24] Alexander McCOMBE. See above
