1612 Magheraboy, Fermanagh: Sir William Cole bought 1,000 acres from Jerome Lindsey, Esq., Leith, Edinburghshire. Cole was apparently in Fermanagh from 1607 and was captain of the long boats and barges at Ballyshannon and Lough Erne. He descends of John Cole of Devon whose father was Sir Michael Cole. John Cole became Lord Enniskillen. Another bio on him in the Enniskillen, "Castles by the Erne" says Cole was a Londoner who had opted for a military career and was not originally one of the major players in the plantation scheme. He was commissioned as keeper of the Crown's boats at Ballyshannon; constable of the royal fort at Enniskillen in 1607; established Enniskillen. The Cole family resided in the castle until 1710. Sir William Cole: 1000 acres; stone castle and bawn; windmill; 2 freeholders, 11 lessees; able to produce 34 men and among Cole's grantees in 1613 were Thomas Shaw of Enniskillen, Clinton Ogle and Richard Orme. "History of Enniskillen With Reference Some Manors in Co. Fermangh"; Muster Roll of Co. Fermanagh 1630: states there are six men surnamed WIGG(a)N calling them "unusual Christian names" and "English" with the spellings of WIGGAN or WIGGINS. It gives "Thomas WIGGIN and Alexander WIGGIN as having no armes. William with sword and pike. Alexander WIGGON and Andrew WIGGIN with a sword only. Another surname of interest on these lists is BAREFOOTE (William and Thomas). 1631 Muster Roll only has listed William Wiggin (Swd & P) and Richard Whitinge (Swds). So where did the rest of the Wiggin clan go? This combination of WIGGIN, BAREFOOTE and WHITINGE show up in colonial New England by 1630. Oddly enough we know practically nothing of where these three surnames came from in England and IRELAND is the only place I have found them in combination together....on these rolls. Cole is rather well documented. So there is a lot out there on Cole, but not on his men. What I am trying to find out is where did the men who make up the roster of Magheraboy under Cole come from? Devon? London? Did they follow him to Ulster? Ballyshannon? ...and where did they,or their descendants, go after 1630/31? -----Original Message----- From: Bill Barber [mailto:wbarber@adelphia.net] Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 9:30 PM To: FERMANAGH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [COUNTY FERMANAGH] Sir William Cole Joy, I had also wondered about these Muster Rolls.

Could it be in Cavan? We are Maguires, and from Cavan originally.

I have a record of a Baptism from the Roslea Heritage Center of a Michael Maguire on 8 29 1904. Parents are Michael maguire and Ellen Sheils Sponsors Margaret Tierney and Patrick Sheils. The Priest is D Gormley and the address listed is Tulleevan. Can someone help me to determine what/where Tulleevan is? I was told that Michael was born in Roslea. Thank you, Geraldine

Hello Everyone, This is my first time on this list. I am hoping someone there will have information regarding PLUNKETTS from Fermanagh. The PLUNKETTS I am seeking were Presbyterians and the names were predominately as follows: Isaac, William, John, Francis, Hugh, Robert, Thomas. If anyone knows anything about any of them I would be grateful to hear from you. Thankyou for reading - June JOHNSON (NZ)

My parents (age 93) really enjoyed the sailing and farmer stories you related in your previous e-mail. Regarding the Yacht Club in Cleveland, Ohio - they have sailed from Erie Pennsylvania on many occasions to the yacht basin, and have eaten at a particularly good restaurant there - it takes 2-3 days to get to the Edgewater Club in Cleveland by sailboat from Erie Pennsylvania, and at that time they were sailing a Tartan 31 (which they sailed for 18 years). They had gotten their start racing as 'daysailors' with a 20' Highlander - covering a lot of the east coast races (then based at the Otsego Sailing Club, Cooperstown, New York). Although they never had the chance to come to Ireland, they 'bareboated' sloops in the Caribbean and off Granada, charting their own course, and experiencing some pretty terrific storms. Thanks for sharing the Lough Erne Yacht Club stories - my parents and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Although I have been to Ireland on three occasions, the group I was with was prevented from coming north, where my heritage is...but, perhaps sometime in the future! Happy sailing!

Hello - I am trying to figure out where in Fermanagh George PERRY came from. He was in Belfast in 1845, where he married Rachel TUTON, and 2 of his children were born. One of his sons was named George Martin Perry. George Sr. was a customs official in Belfast, then in Liverpool. He gives his birthplace, on the 1861 census, as Fermanagh. I'd be grateful for any help pinpointing his birthplace or parents. Regards, Marny Janson

----Original Message----- From: kathy laplume [mailto:toby2388@comcast.net] Sent: 30 May 2005 13:44 >>>>>>>. I'm looking for information on my grandmother's family. >>>>>>> Kathleen Goodwin LaPlume>>>>>>>>>>.. I notice Goodwin surname Below may be on interest, from an un-corrected draft on Lough Erne yachting Michael Michael Clarke, Historian, Lough Eren Yacht Club, Ireland's oldest yacht racing club. Sailor and Small Farmer Researching his ancestors, in the 1990s, Michael Goodwin came across a curious Census entry. One of them, a Patrick Goodwin, had answered on his employment with the words ‘Sailor and Small Farmer’. Goodwins traditionally worked on and with yachts. Crom accounts show a Goodwin paid five pounds and five shillings for painting the Wizard in 1867, perhaps before that September’s big LEYC regatta down at Rossclare. The Goodwins and their neighbours were also skilled racing crew, sometimes dressed in a practical sailing uniform of heavy woollen sweaters embroidered with the boat’s name, and knitted hats to suit the weather at Crom’s autumn regattas. For some years around 1900, this Patrick Goodwin’s job was the Sailor at Crom. One photograph of him at work is displayed in today’ s National Trust exhibition at Crom Estate. Another, in a private collection, shows him assisting the Earl sailing with grandchildren in a Lough Erne One-Design, a new type of sailing boat introduced at Crom in 1909. Lakeside and island small farmers often had a cot or clinker built boat with a sprit sail – just as others had a slipe or cart inland. Sailors as well as small farmers, they could handle their simple boats well. In 1875, William Ffiffe of Shanaughey ( today’s Share Centre) rowed out in his cot, and in half an hour had rescued Lord Crichton MP and his seven guests left clinging to the mast and top rigging of his yacht when it capsized and sank in a gale. He took them off in turn and rowed them to second Crom yacht, nearby yet unable to get alongside the first in the heavy squalls. Patrick Goodwin’s brother Phillip was the Sailor with the Massey-Beresfords at St Hubert’s. An LEYC minute in 1896 denotes him Sailor. His work was remembered in 1972 by Tristam Massey-Beresford in the Impartial Reporter. Phil Goodwin had charge of all the boats, including the coal-burning steamer which took the family to church (at Derryvore across the lake from Crom) and acted as tug for the cots bringing coal from Belturbet railway station. With two daughters, who worked at the house, he came three miles a day to and from his home opposite Crom, a hard cold row in winter. Pat and Phil Goodwin were typical of many Sailors whose aquatic skills found employment back down the years to the Maguire era. Regattas in the 1800s had races for turf boats and cots. They came after the yacht races because both crews were often the same men, employed on a racing yacht, and then racing again in one’s own or a friend’s craft. Employment in Sailing continued into the 1900s. In 1966, eight surviving worker-sailors were elected honorary members of LEYC to mark their service over the years. ‘Old’ Davy Johnston had begun as apprentice carpenter on the Irvine estate. He worked with Storm, then a new Fairy yacht. Before a race, he had her rigged and ready at the jetty in Gublusk Bay as Major Irvine came down his steps from the house to go racing - still the ‘Captain’s Jetty’ today. The Captain’s steps are still there in thick moss and bushes near today’s LEYC gate. Davy was an excellent helmsman, often winning the annual crew race. He worked on the new navigation marks in the 1950s. In the mid-1980s, he was elected LEYC Admiral, as the Fairies celebrated their 80th anniversary. His Admiral’s flag was at his funeral when he died, in his hundredth year. Other Johnstons made honorary were ‘young’ Davy, Joseph and Henry. Three of LEYC’s keenest young sailors today, Mark, David and Stephen Taylor, are the fifth generation of another sailing family. Their father, John is an amateur sailor. His father, Joe crewed in the Fairies Snipe and Doreen. The father of Joe’s mother, Olive was John McManus, another of those honorary members in 1966. For every photograph thereafter, he wore his Yacht Club tie. John McManus was Sailor for Angel MacManus and her Fairy Paxi and worked sand yachts with his father Andy, who was a racing Sailor at Crom in the late 1800s. Today, Andy’s great-great-grandsons, Mark and David are one of Ireland’s best J/24 deck crews and Stephen is a lively junior sailor. Work for junior sailors, maintaining their Cadet dinghies in the 1950s and 1960s, made Paddy Adams another of the eight. The final two were Thomas Balfour, boatman at Gublusk, and Douglas Ternan of Owl Island. His island farm with neat fields and whitewashed cottage, and his boat building with his two sons are described in Hugh Malet’s Wake of The Gods, an account of a voyage, and folk he met, along the ancient route to Lough Derg in the 1960s. Ternan boats used simple spars to rig an ancient sprit sail and rest the oarsman on long trips. The next generation of Ternans, George and Fred, are skilled sailors and boatwrights. They still have the Ternan “models” or moulds used to set the hull’s shape along it’s length when building a Ternan boat. Shapely craft with fine lines aft, they were easy to row yet carried a useful load. Edwina Ternan, in today’s new generation, is another young LEYC sailor in Laser dinghies and J/24 keelboats. But, none are farmers. So Douglas Ternan was among the last to be a Sailor and Small Farmer.

May I tell you how much I enjoy the delightful Lough Erne stories; although looking for Chittick ancestors, who reportedly lived along Lough Erne in a place called Drumkeeran, I had no knowledge of this yacht club. My parents were sailboat racers here in the U.S., where my father served as Commodore of the Erie Yacht Club. I believe he is also a member of the international "Blue Gavel" group of former yacht club officers. Although his health did not permit sailing after he turned 80, both he and my mother will appreciate the sharing of this boat racing information. My mother (and I) are descendants of the Chittick relatives who emigrated from Ireland in 1850...only sorry they didn't pass down some of these wonderful sailboat racing stories!

Hello, I'm looking for information on my grandmother's family. Margaret McGuinness (maybe spelled various ways) was born in 1895 in Belleek, Irvinestown, County Fermanagh, Ireland. I don't know much about her. Her mother and father were Darby McGuinness and Catherine Clancy. Margaret had 2 sisters, Rose and Sarah, and 1 brother, John. Two of the girls, Rose and Sarah, came to the US in 1910 and 1913 respectively. Margaret went to on England and John never left Ireland. I never met my grandmother. She passed away in England in 1979. If anyone has any information on this family or knows how I can obtain information, please contact me. Thanks.
