Re: Moor Ballacrine/Cowell Ballavilla

Ballacrine

Thanks for the information.

You lived in a location with a lot of history, The Quiney families probably originate from the McQuyn family on this quarterland in 1511.

You mentioned Patience Moore who married one of the Quinneys from Ballachrine Farm about 5 generations ago. (?Possibly Patience Quinney who died 1879)

The two families are linked earlier in time.
In 1701 - Thomas Quiney married Ann Moor of Ballacrine who was probably a sister of Isabel Moor born 1690 who I was researching last year

Thomas was the son of John Quiney of Ballacrine, who was probably descended from either Jo or William Quinny farming there in 1643

The Quiney families probably originate from the McQuyn family on this quarterland in 1511.

The Moore family at Ballavilley also go back there a long time from Edmond Moore, of Ballavilla, who died in 1677 probably back to the early 1500's to the Widow of Robert More who married Thomas Clerke.
