speaks of it as "a very ancient and curious original MS.,"
but does not tell where it is preserved - states that
"Ballylinch, Leogan, Raduth, Killarney, &c. were at the
same time given (amongst the forfeited estates of the Grace
family) to Captains Rogers and Joyner. ... Joyner had been
cook to King Charles, though not his friend; wherefore to
secure said estate he conveyed it to his brother-in-law,
Colonel Daniel Redman, who gave Ballylinch and Leogan to his
daughter, the lady Kerin, and the remainder to his other
daughter married to Sir John Meade." It was thus that
Ballylinch came to be the property of the Carrick family;
but no mention is here made of a third daughter of Redman,
or any marriage with a Vicar of Kirkby Lonsdale; and it
would be a singular arrangement that lands given as a
marriage portion should descend not to the children of the
marriage, but to the husbands successor's in the church
living which he chanced to hold. The information obtained by
Mr. Robertson is certainly most curious and interesting; but
it would be very desirable that a more detailed and
circumstantial account of the matter should be ontained if
possible.
