Dear Jennifer, Hi, You wrote in part .... With considerable assistance from the Medway family, I have located the original "Baltinglass" homestead and have commenced an archaeological survey of the remains. This is an integral component of my PhD research. I have been searching for any paintings or illustrations of the building so far without success. "Baltinglass" is located on Portion 9a, Parish of Gunning, County of King, a 799 acres block of land that was issued as a Grant by Purchase to Samuel Clayton on 15 January 1839. .................................................................................... Did Samuel Clayton name the homestead "Baltinglass" ? Baltinglass is a town in west Wicklow, Ireland. It is the scene for quite a few trials in the 1798 Irish Rebellion. It's gaol housed a few Rebels who were eventually transported to NSW. Regards, Peter Mayberry http://www.pcug.org.au/~ppmay/
