	Gentleman's Magazine 1863 part 1 p.206 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.
