GENERATION 4 - BENJAMIN S. QUINE OF BALLAGAREY

Ballagarey adjoins Ballachrink on the northern side, and before surviving records the two farms formed a single Quarterland. In the 1600’s and 1700’s the farm was held by the Clague family, but two areas were sold - Thie Phillip [as it later became] being disposed of to the wealthy merchant John Murrey of Douglas in 1715, and around half of the remainder being sold to John Quiggin of Kirk Michael in 1764.
