"..... James Radcliffe was succeeded by his son John born 1655-1660 who was Sumner of Andreas and lived at Old Belfast. He married Jane Teare and is described as a tailor in the Lords Survey where he is entered for McTeare's Half Quarter, being part of the quarterland of Ballacross, of 8d rent, which according to the survey was compounded for in 1643 by John Kneale of Ballavarry. James Radcliffe also held besides Old Belfast a portion of Ballavoddan meadow and the croft now known as Ohio Cottage. He had issue by Jane Teare, his eldest son James born in 1690, who succeeded as Sumner of Andreas, and a second son Richard born between 1695 and 1700. Jane Radcliffe died in 1720 and by her will bequeathed to her son James her part of all the houses and lands including the crop of corn and the bigg barrel (barley barrel). Her husband, John, died six years later and mentions in his will as bequests to the son and heir, James, the brick kilns, the crop and all the utensils "belonging to ye house".

James Radcliffe, of Belfast, who succeeded as eldest son and heir was Sumner of Andreas. - Born in 1690 he married Mary Christian, of Ballayonaigue, Bride, in 1720, and had issue, John, the heir, Thomas born 1735, and James born 1738. The youngest son, James Radcliffe, was tenant of Ballacleator, the second son, Thomas, was a mason, and known as 'Tommy the Reaish’ which means the Span, in reference to his short stature.

John Radcliffe, the heir, born in 1729, married Catherine Christian in 1758, by whom he had John, his heir, and five other children. He was Sumner of Andreas in 1772 and probably held this office for a number of years after this time. In 1772 he purchased a part of the quarterland of Ballachurry in Mullen Lowne of 5/2 rent from John Quayle, of Castletown. According to the late William John Radcliffe, of Ballaradcliffe, he demolished the old homestead of Ballachurry and built a new house which he called Belfast after the home of his predecessor. Two years later he sold the Mullen Beg and McTeare's half quarter and also the West Croft opposite Ohio to his cousin Thomas Radcliffe, joiner. John Radcliffe died in 1809 and his wife, Catherine, in 1804.

John, the heir of Belfast, born in 1763, married in 1785 Jane, the eldest daughter of Philip Radcliffe of Ballaradcliffe. He survived his father only four years, dying in 1813 leaving nine children."
