The following information was provided by Muriel Sherlock I have transcribed the document exactly as it was. The townland spellings in 1702 were not as they are now, and in that case I have put the spelling of these in brackets. The old way of spelling for example ' pofsefsors ' possessors I have left as they were. As you know where there were two 'S's the first one was transcribed as an f, as in the word "purfuant" which is actually pursuant.
