Dear Antrim List, As an experiment, I'm passing my note here to Bette Kosmolak through the List. Maybe one of you will recognize something in what I'm searching. David [Bartley = Barclay] _______________________________________ Bette! Thanks for all the work you did in searching the Buckna Presbyterian Church records for my Barkley, Logan, Wallace quest and on the place- name, Mullindrew. These data didn't just pour out of your computer when you clicked your search key! Now are you living in the vicinity of Buckna? Have you ever searched for land lease records? I'm interested in 1790-1810 Mullindrew and also the townland, Lisnahilt, where a Barclay family was living at least between 1776 and 1796. [Lisnahilt Presbyterians likely gathered in Broughshane.] I have searched and found useful information at PRONI on leases in County Tyrone, but have no idea what is available in Racavan Parish. So far I've found no information at all on Mullindrew [not a townland]. Maybe the early Ordnance Survey Maps give clues. Modern OS maps only show Mullindreen Road. By the way, do you have any idea of the origin of the name, "Mullaghboy Hill"? I had one other question, the early OS Memoirs list Racavan Parish as being in the Armagh District, though modern OS Maps label the area as "Ballymena LGD" [maybe following "Ballymena PLU?]. Do you know what "Armagh District" covered? Thanks so much, David
