    3. Can someone help me with a geographical question or set me straight if I have erred in relating the facts? In the Plantation of Ulster, 4 Hamilton brothers received grants of land in Ulster, as follows. All were sons of Claud Hamiltion, 1st Baron Paisley. 1. James Hamilton, 1st Earl of Avercorn : portion of Strabane (1000 acres) and Dunnalong (2000 acres) 2. Sir Claud Hamilton of Shawfield later Baldony: portion of Killeny (1000 acres) 3. Sir George Hamilton of Greenlaw and Roscrea: middle portion of Largie, alias Clochogenall, and Derrie-woone. All these grants are in Tyrone. The fourth brother received lands in Leitrim: 4. Sir Frederick Hamilton: Manor Hamilton A George Hamilton, kinsman to the above, also received land in Tyrone (Teadane, or modern Eden). This grant was transferred to Sir Claud Hamilton, the grantee at Killeny. Sir Claud's son is styled Sir William Hamilton of Elieston (variant spellings). Does there exist a map showing where these grants in Tyrone are situated? And where precisely was Elieston? Thank you for your attention. Roy
