Against the lands of
Farnaloy,
Glenkeen (also called
Glendavagh),
Bohard, and
Derrykintone, situate respectively
in the Counties of Armagh and Tyrone, in Ireland.
As to
Farnaloy, situate in the
Manor of Toaghy (west of
Drumconwell), Barony of Armagh, and County of Armagh:
The first deed I find recorded is from
Henry
Richardson of Ballycleran, County Monaghan, to
Sir Alexander Cavines Baronet and
Robert Clements of the city of
Dublin, Esquire. Whereby the former grants amongst others the lands of
Farnaloy for the residue of the term
for which same were held upon the several trusts in said deed
mentioned. The foregoing deed is dated 5 June 1712.
In 1738 I find
Trinity College,
Dublin, granted a lease of
Farnaloy
to
Edward Matthews for 21
years.
The first mention of the
Marshall
Family in connection with
Farnaloy
occurs in 1800 on the 13th of June, when
Michael Marshall of Darnton in the
County of Armagh, Farmer, granted a mortgage of the lands of
Farnaloy to
Bryan Hughes of
Kilcreevy, in said County, farmer.
This mortgage was subsequently paid off and the lands reconveyed.
On the 31st of January 1809,
Henry
Marshall of
Derrycantone
in the County of
Tyrone sold to
Richard Lynn,
for £150, part of said lands of
Farnaloy,
to hold to said Lynn for the residue of the term of 20 years, granted
by
Dillon Pollard, Esq. to the
said
Henry Marshall and
William English from the 1st May
1799.
On the 22nd January 1812,
Joseph
Marshall of
Derrycantone
granted to
Richard Lynn his
share of
Farnaloy. In this
deed it is stated that the
Marshalls
held from
Dillon Pollard, who
held from Trinity College.
Pollard
consents to a new
Marshall
lease, so often as the College may renew his.
On the 28th day of July 1855,
Trinity
College granted to
Anne Lynne,
the lands of
Farnaloy,
containing 2,730 acres 0 R, 29 P, at the yearly rent of £938.6.7.
to hold to her forever.
Mrs. Lynn
appears to be the party now in possession.
As to
Glenkeen otherwise
called
Glendavagh, situate in
the Parish of Aghaloe and County of Tyrone.
In 1757,
Henry Marshall of
Mullaghmassagh, Parish of Aghaloe,

Hugh McNeely
the farm of
Glendavagh of 20
Irish acres with the proportion of bog for 20 years at £6 a year.

On 22nd October 1783,
Joseph Marshall
of
Mullaghmassagh devised to
John Wilson part of
Glendavagh for 31 years at £14
sterling.
On the 11th of December 1786,
Henry
Marshall of
Glendavagh
granted 15 acres 3 R 20 P, of
Glendavagh
to

Caledon to hold to him forever for
the sum of £150.
On the 7th February 1787,
Henry
Marshall of
Glendavagh
granted to
Pringle a rent
charge of £20 a year, charged on said land.
On 30th April 1787
Robert Cummin of
Aghnacloy, County Tyrone granted to
Robert Pettigrew of
Crilly, in said County 15 acres 3 R.
20 P. of
Glendavagh to hold
for the lives for which the same were held, subject to £10 a year
rent.
On the 16th October 1788,
Henry
Marshall of
Glendavagh
granted to
Robert Pettigrew of
Crilly 70 acres of
Glendavagh to hold for the lives in
the original lease thereof and all renewals subject to redemption on
payment of £109.17.6.
On the 5th March 1789,
Cummin
again mortgages to
Pettigrew
for £185.7.10. 70 acres of
Glendavagh.
On the 16th March 1790,
Henry Marshall
of
Glendavagh and
John Marshall, his eldest son and
heir-at-law, grant a mortgage to
Pettigrew
for £69.3.6.
On the 11th September 1795,
Joseph
Marshall devised to
Harrison
Marshall the lands of Glenkeen, containing 61 acres, for 31
years, @ £91.10.0.
On 29th April 1800 John Pringle grants to Robert Pettigrew 32 acres 1
R. 7 P. of
Glendavagh in
consideration of £522.10.2, to hold for the lives in the original
lease, subject to rent.
On the 21st August 1852, the incumbent estates commissioned sold to
Mary Campbell, the estate of
Joseph Marshall called
Glenkeen, containing 467 acres. 3 R.
31 P. for the sum of £3,950. to hold to her forever and on the
19th of June 1856, the said commissioners granted to said
Mary Campbell for the sum of
£440, the hill, part of
Glendavagh
to hold forever.
Mrs. Campbell
appears to be the party now in possession.
As to
Bohard, situate in the
manor of
Ballymagrane, Parish
of Aghaloe, and County of Tyrone.
In October 1753,
Henry Marshall
of
Glendavagh, County Tyrone,
Gentleman, granted to
Revrnd. Moses
Campbell the 1/8th part of the townland of
Bohard, containing 41 acres 1 R. 0
P. to hold for the lives named therein with Covenant for perpetual
renewal.
In December 1865,
Thomas Fortescue
and
William Jones Armstrong
mortgaged said lands of
Bohard
along with 256 other denominations of land for £20,000. to
Willoughby Newton and
Henry Oulton in whom the said land
appear to be now rested as mortgages.
As to
Derrycantone I have not
found any mention of
Derrycantone
as a separate townland. It appears to have been merely the name of the
residence of members of the
Marshall
family and now forms part of
Lord
Caledon's Demense.
Upon the whole, I have been unable to find anything upon the Records of
Deeds or Wills to justify the impression that any of the
Marshall family or their descendants
are now entitled to claim the ownership of any of the aforementioned
lands.
As to money deposited in Banks or in the government funds, it very
rarely occurs that it is not claimed by the parties entitled or their
re£presentatives; but in the case of no apparent owners, after
the lapse of a certain numbers of years and being duly advertised,
funds thus circumstanced are applied for public purposes.
