Hi Anne Your ancestors are from Ballywilly *Baile an Mhullaigh* Townland of the hill-top (Flush Hill) In 1752 Michael Hampton of Ballywolley {Ballywilly} was a church warden of Kilmore. Hardly surprising as in 1613 Christopher Hampton was made Church of Ireland primate. On the church lands of Kilmore Parish he leased land in Ballywilly to his brothers Francis & Thomas. Their descendants still live there. Other family members are found in the neighbouring townlands of Ballytrue, Lurgancott and Ballyhagan. The Hamptons have a lovely burial spot in KIlmore Churchyard, enclosed by three walls with tablets set into the wall. Kilmore church, Christopher Hampton laid the foundation stone in 1622. Michael Hampton of dept. this life on 3rd Dec 1825 aged 57, his mother Mary dept. this life 5th July 1817 aged 41. The church registers for Kilmore have baptisms from 1789, mariages from 1799 and burials from 1824 and 'typescript notes from the parish from the 5th century' Pauline www.irishhomesteads.com On Sat, Feb 13, 2010 at 5:10 AM, Anne /Don Horne <[email protected]> wrote: > Henry Hampton - my great grandfather - is shown in the Kilmore Parish > records as having been baptised by John and Jane Hampton of Ballywilly on > 19th October, 1837.

Anne One branch of my family descended from a long line of Hamptons in Anglesey, Wales. A lot can be found about them in the book Pedigrees of Anglesey ...., by John Edwards Griffith, 1914, a reference to which is here: http://openlibrary.org/b/OL6574006M/Pedigrees_of_Anglesey_and_Carnarvonshire _families It is a while since I have looked into this but I seem to recall that the Hampton family originated in Lancashire back in about the 1300s and was given land in Anglesey by one of the long-ago kings. The same possibly applied to another branch of the same family in Ireland. Just a thought.
