    3. Thanks Nicola, I don't have that info & if you don't mind, I would like to add some of it to the footnotes (and credit you for sharing it). Sound okay? Sharon Oddie Brown Roberts Creek, BC, Canada THE SILVER BOWL: http://www.user.dccnet.com/s.brown/index.html FAMILY TREE: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=silverbowl ----- Original Message ----- Subject: Re: [ARMAGH] SEAVER-OLIVER-JACKSON & Ballinahonebeg Hi Sharon, I am sending you this information but I am not entirely sure that there is any connection with yours. Daniel Jennings. Abode: Newry, Co. Down. Situation of freehold: Ballymacdermott, Altnaveagh, Lisdrumliskea, and B. Landlords name and residence : Jonathon Seaver Esq., Heathhall, Armagh. (Freeholders List for Co. Armagh, 1825). "Ancient Ballymacdermott was the property of the O'Hanlon family, but during the Plantation of Ulster (1593-)1603) it was granted by Queen Elizabeth I to Sir Marmaduke Whitechurch, who died in May 1635. His granddaughter, Eleanor Symonds, carried this townland into the Seaver family through her marriage to Nicholas Seaver of Ballyaghy, Co. Armagh. Nicholas was the great-grandfather of Jonathon Seaver, one of the larger landords in the area - known locally as 'Seaver of the Bog. (Collins, A.E.P. and Wilson B.C.S., VJA 27, 1964, 3-22). I really wondered if you had ever come across the name JENNINGS in your searches of Seaver documents. Daniel was the brother of my ggggrandfather Andrew Jennings of Newry. The fact that you mentioned Huguenot names is also of interest to me, as I am chasing this possibilty at the moment in relation to the name JENNINGS/JENNIN/GENNIN. Hope I am not sending you information you already have, best wishes, Nicola Jennings.
