It is years since I did much on these families but I may be able to add a tiny amount. I have Philip Moore dying 1681. Two children by deceased first wife, Margaret is the heir to the farm, which therefore must have been the property of her mother. Margaret is apparently of age but unmarried - I have noted "Try Ballakilley" by her name. She is one of the next of kin on the fathers side. The other next of kin was Patrick Christian. This is Patrick of Baldromma who married Ann Moore. They are my distant ancestors through the Woods family of Ballawoods, Malew. Philip Moore's 2 children by a second venture were Thomas and Katherine, They were clearly under age. I have noted that Katherine died as an orphan - see Episcopal Wills 1685. Her brother Thomas "ex linea patri et matri" is administrator of the goods in their father's inventory..

I am a bit confused about the Quarks and Balladhoo.. My research is years old, but I thought that Balladhoo belonged to John Kermott and Catherine his wife. I have an entry in Lib Vast of Catherine's half being inherited by her daughter Isabel 1724. Isabel Quark was the executrix of her mother Catherine Kermott alias Clague (d. 1724/5: Arch. 1724, 2/82). Cath's will mentions (second) husband John Kermott, son James Quark, daughter Catherine. She is my ancestor Catherine Cain alias Quark, , married John Cain of Bwoillee Vane East Baldwin. First husband of Cath was Philip Quark (Episcopal 2 - 1692) who died intestate. Children Dan, James, Philip, Katherin, John, Issable.

I may be confused, but I thought I had identified Cath as the mother also of Don or Dan Quark in Keele Callin (near B'beg, Lonan). Dan Quark and Cath his Mother held intack and cottage rent of 2d rent (Keele Callin) and 9.5 pence rent (Crott Iny Quill). Cath and Dan were both dead befoire 1726 when John son of Dan succeeded (Lib. Vast). John Quark and Joney his wife als Corkill sold the 9.5 pence in Croit e Qui;ll to Danielk Costain for £3 in 1739 (SSS M 1740 - 498). The next generation Thomas Quark and Elinor alias Kewley sold "The Clerk's concerns" for £20 to Johmn Lewis in 1812. This was apparently Keele Callin. SSS O 1815 - 31

Think this all hangs together
