1670 Down Survey for Carrowntemple
The 1670 Down Survey name for this area was Inishmaine Killcallon and in 1641 (Pre Cromwell) the owner was the Catholic Sir Roebuck Lynch. In 1670 (Post Cromwell) the owner was Richard Butler, Earl of Arran, a Protestant. There were 314 plantation acres of unprofitable land, 207 plantation acres of profitable land and those 207 plantation acres were forfeited.
[i] In the original entry it states that Bryan and Mary had 6 children but in the list of household members there are 7 children listed.
[ii] Considering the ages of the 3 youngest children it could be that they are actually grandchildren.
[iii] Possible Bartly was married to Mary (23) and she would be a daughter-in-law instead of a daughter, particularly seeing as there are 2 Mary’s listed as daughters.
[iv] Obviously a mistake.
[v] Possibly Margret or Maraid?
