In Response To: Cain(e)s of Orrisdale Michael ()

The adam Caine of Orrisdale had a son Pat who inherited Ballameanagh - however further research in Museum indicates that the Patrick Caine twin to Philip was not his son but the son of Adam Caine + ann Callister (she is buried Bal 17390520 + w ill(not yet looked at) - he bur Bal 17680128 + will)
remember the bapt had 'of the gill' - Adam farmed Knockan in Scrondall - a valley - there is a deed of settlement NSS May 1738 26 - dated 21 Feb 1736/7;Adan Caine + wife Ann als Callister settle & estate on our son Patrick half of all our houses & lands (quarterland, intack & cottage) in Ballaugh inc quarterland of the Knockan & of Gliondoo; Pat paying us £4 10s as we shall have need for towards paying out debts and incumbrances;witt Tho Cowley x, John Tear - Patk had a child called adam but died of smallpox in 1764 along with sister Cath - Pat bur Bal 17760225 (described of the Knockan) - his will is a strange agreement summarised on MNB
this can be followed in lib assed and lib vast -

the 1691 composition book (on MNB under Ballaugh) indicates his gfa was Adam - who left a will in 1680 - d feb 1680;dau-i-law jony cain als cluage;son james,john,philip + dollin jt execs

This adam was an interesting character - An agrarian riot ensued, of which some graphic particulars may be found in the Exchequer Book of Castle Rushen, from July 22 to August 21, 1724, how that the Governor and officers being somewhere in the mountains with a person who was treating for a part of the land, some provisions intended for them were stopped on the way, the rope harness cut, and a wish uttered, " That those whom the provision were. intended for might be choked at the eating thereof;" how Philip Quayle expressed himself in these words—" If Mr. Macguire will come to take our mountains we will fight him." How the Governor, with the great inquest, having met upon the mountains, in order that the same might be rented, there was a mob with long sticks and staves, which they would not lay down at his bidding; that Adam Caine cried out, "Maugher," which in English, said the witness, "I take to be battle"—and that, advancing before the rest, he said to the Governor and soldiers, " Come on, where are you now ? You would talk enough what you would do before ;" that Caine, being arrested, the mob took hold of him to rescue him; that Robert Cullet said he could beat any two of the soldiers with whom he had been struggling, for he did not feel them in his hands." Many were fined, and set in the stocks of the market towns, with schedules of their offences. Adam had to sit in stocks in the 4 markt towns - I have a copy of most of the pages from Lib Scacc

Eventually I will transcribe the relevant sections but Ballaugh property records are both long and somewhat complicated
