Transcriber’s notes :
- An apostrophe indicates that the letters following were written in superscript in the original text. The affected words were contractions or abbreviations. ↩︎
- Although this deed states that Farraher, or Farruter, was situated in the parish of Aghaloo, a later deed cites the townland name as Farriter, lying in the parish of Killeeshil. In 1730, Irish Farriter was part of the Manor of Ballymagrane held by the Whyte family of Redhills, county Cavan. ↩︎
- Griby townland was not found. Perhaps Griggy townland in the parish of Donagh was intended. ↩︎
- A subscribing witness was a witness who had appended his, her, or their signature. ↩︎
