Ballylane Townland County Armagh, Northern Ireland 14/12/2014 1:58 PM http://www.igp-web.com/armagh/townlands/Ballylane.htm Ballylane Townland County Armagh, Northern Ireland Civil Parish Kilclooney Barony Fews Lower Poor Law Union Armagh Catholic Diocese Armagh Catholic Parish Whitecross (Loughgilly), Ballymacnabb (Kilclooney) KILCLUNEY,or KILCLOONEY, a district parish, partly in the barony of Lower Orior, but chiefly in that of Lower Fews, county of Armagh, and province of Ulster, 2 miles (S.W.) from Markethill, on the road from Newry to Armagh; containing 7627 inhabitants. It was constituted, in 1792, by disuniting 22 townlands from the parish of Mullaghbrack, and comprises, according to the Ordnance Survey, 12,833¼ statute acres, of which 3109 are heath and bog, and the remainder in a high state of cultivation. At Carricklane is a quarry of good clay-slate, from which was raised the stone for building Gosford Castle. Lead ore has also been found in considerable quantities, and there are indications of coal. The weaving of linen and cotton cloth is carried on. It is in the diocese of Armagh, and on its separation from Mullaghbrack, a perpetual curacy, in the gift of the Prebendary of Mullaghbrack, was instituted, under the provisions of an act of the 7th of Geo. III.; and a church was built at Glassdrummond, a plain neat edifice, for the erection of which the late Board of First Fruits gave £500. The glebe-house, towards which the same Board granted £450 as a gift and £50 as a loan, is a handsome building, situated on a glebe of 22 acres. In the R.C. divisions the parish forms part of the union or district of Lisnadill, or Ballymacnab; the chapel is a large and handsome edifice at Clady. There are two places of worship for Presbyterians in connection with the Seceding synod, one of the first class at Redrock, the other at Ballylane. There are eight public schools, some of which are aided by donations from the Rev. Dr. Blacker, others by Lords Charlemont and Gosford, and the parochial school by the prebendary and perpetual curate; they afford instruction to about 680 children. Some vestiges yet exist of the old church of Kilcluney, which was burnt in 1641, and also of a bawn built in 1619 by H. Achison, Esq., which was destroyed at the same time. Cairn-amnhanaghan, or “The Vicar’s Cairn”, which is noticed more particularly under the head of Mullaghbrack, is in this district. [The Mullaghbrack head adds the following: "On the estate of Lord Charlemont is a cairn, called Cairnamnhanaghan, or “the monk’s cairn”, a conical heap of stones still covering more than two acres, though much reduced by the peasantry, who have carried away many of the stones for building, a practice now prohibited by the proprietor."] A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland” by Samuel Lewis, 1837, extracted from FHL film 413528) 1 of 19 14/12/2014 1:58 PM 14/12/2014 1:58 PM http://www.igp-web.com/armagh/townlands/Ballylane.htm A Ballylane Panorama Kilpatrick Farm in Ballylane Gray Farm in Ballylane 2 of 19 14/12/2014 1:58 PM 14/12/2014 1:58 PM http://www.igp-web.com/armagh/townlands/Ballylane.htm Ballylane in 1835 3 of 19 14/12/2014 1:58 PM 14/12/2014 1:58 PM http://www.igp-web.com/armagh/townlands/Ballylane.htm Ballylane in 1864 (The numbers on the farms match the numbers on the Griffith's chart below) 4 of 19 14/12/2014 1:58 PM 14/12/2014 1:58 PM http://www.igp-web.com/armagh/townlands/Ballylane.htm Ballylane in 2005 Ballylane Tithe Applotments No tithe applotment records survive for Ballylane. There were definitely some tithe-free townlands 5 of 19 14/12/2014 1:58 PM 14/12/2014 1:58 PM http://www.igp-web.com/armagh/townlands/Ballylane.htm in the area around Ballylane, does anyone know whether Ballylane was tithe-free or whether the tithe records don't exist for some other reason? Fortunately, an even better alternative exists. (See the next section.) Ballylane Survey by the Earl of Charlemont (1827) In 1827, Francis William Caulfeild, 5th Viscount Charlemont and 2nd Earl of Charlemont, had a survey taken of many of his properties in County Armagh and Count Tyrone. For Ballylane, the result was a wonderful schedule of every tenant and subtenant in the townland, with a description and the area of each parcel. Each parcel was numbered, and there is a large matching numbered map of Ballylane showing precisely the boundaries of each tenant's parcel(s). The adjacent townlands of Ballymacnabb, Clady More and Clady Beg were surveyed at the same time, and others, as well. The schedule of tenants can be found on FHL film 1279357, but the map has to be gotten directly from PRONI where it is in fond T/1176/5. There was also a survey of bog leases done at the same time.

  • Early History of Hamiltonban Township (1730 – 1860)
    Early History of Hamiltonban Township (1730 – 1860) The earliest European settlers came to the area in the 1730s. Before 1767, parts of what are now Adams and York Counties were claimed by both Maryland and Pennsylvania. Two disputed settlements in Adams County were "Digges Choice", in the vicinity of Littlestown and Hanover, and "Carroll's Delight," in the vicinity of Fairfield and Hamiltonban. Pennsylvania countered the claims of Maryland for the disputed areas by importing settlers. About 1729 the Governor of Pennsylvania, in order to stop further encroachment on the part of Maryland, sent word to the Penn brothers, sons of William Penn, to send him some fighting men. In response, they sent a colony of one hundred forty families from Ulster, Ireland, led by Captain Hance Hamilton. This colony of Scotch-Irish settlers landed at New Castle, Delaware, August 24, 1729, and went almost immediately to what is now Adams County, where they took up land and began to build their homes. Captain Hance Hamilton had a large family, including two daughters and six sons. One of his sons, also named Hance, became Sheriff of York County. In 1735, the proprietor of Maryland, Lord Baltimore, granted 5,000 acres in what is now Hamiltonban Township to Charles Carroll, who named it Carroll's Delight. In 1741 Archibald Beard, John Withrow, James McGinley and Jeremiah Lochery purchased Carroll's Delight. At that time, the purchasers believed that the land was in Maryland, and it was not until the Mason-Dixon line was surveyed in 1767 that it was determined that Carroll's Delight was actually in Pennsylvania.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
