Dear JoAnn, There are no less than 3 CARROWREAGHs, and a CARNANREAGH townland all in North Antrim. There is a Carrowreagh in each of Billy Parish, Finvoy Parish and the Grange of Drumtullagh. Carnanreagh is in Billy Parish. Cochrane is a pretty frequent surname in these parts. There are several appearances in the townlands of Moycraig and Loughlynch in the Tithe Books of 1824. But I must advise you that hard genealogical data from before 1810 for this part of Ireland is very rare. Sorry, I cannot assist with the Freemasons.
