Detail Maps around Aghabog (including houses)

These are larger maps that show the town lands of Rossnaglogh East, Corravilla, Faltagh.  Also attached is a region map that also includes Tonagh Townland.

 

These are color maps that I think were created between 1829 and 1842.  What is interesting is you can see the buildings and other features.  In Faltagh, for example, you can see the bog.  The Smyths appear to have leased land in and around this bog in both Faltagh and Rossnaglogh East.  Rossnaglogh East is just north and adjacent to Faltagh.  For additional information, refer to:

 The map of Rossnaglogh is interesting too.  There was a John Smith (Smyth) leasing land in mid-nineteenth century Ireland here.  I think it was located around where you see the number '125' on the map (easier to view after clicking on maps to enlarge).  That may also indicate where they had their housing. Other names  that appear in this townland Kearns (Australian Smyth) and McPhillips.  The McPhillips leased land in the eastern section of Rossnaglogh

 

In Corravilla we find McPhillips leasing a large part of its northern and western section.

They are kind of big maps for Killybegs in County Donegal.  Ballyara is where you find most of the McGonigles in this Civil Parish.  One Francis McGonigle lived in the lower left portion of this map, and you can see the housing there.  This was a rather large townland; however, most of it was mountainous.  While it appeared these leaseholders had large tracts of land, only part of it was arable.  In fact, probably only a small part.
 
Drumbarity Townland is where you find a Peter McGonigle living in the mid-nineteenth century.  His family was still living there by the beginning of the 20th century.  Also living here was a James Murrin family.  Notice how close together these houses were?
 
I also included a color map of Killybegs town.
 
Well, that is about it.  I will be seeing my 'Mormon wives' again today.  Still have not received any documents I requested.  I am trying to get some stuff through inter-library loan but was told it may take awhile.  The National Archives only promises I will get what I requested within 120 days.  I have time to wait. Laurel is suffering through some flu symptoms right now.  She had the shot, but her doctor said it was probably one of the viruses running around right now.  Talk to you later.
