Proto-Corjeags

I have got my eye in again with the circa 1490 Liber Assed Northside.

It is very strange reading it and knowing that everything earlier has gone - a bit like a geological fault-line.

BTW acknowledgement to Michael Crellin and Roger Sims.

2. Change made to this entry:

3. New entry:

Ric Creer's name entered in their place for 16s

4. Next Treen - Name ripped off, but obviously Balynemade

1st Quarter Rent 17s 6d
Original name in Roll:

5. Ric's name struck through

6. New names entered for 17s 6d

Ric McQuartage cu*m mere

All this seems to mean that the Proto-Corjeags were leaving one of the 2 Shoclague quarterlands and exchanging most of it for one of the following:
Cooildarry
Ballacorlett
Bargarrow Beg
Ballaleigh
As we know, before 1513 Ric and his mother had disappeared, and John was the tenant of Ballalonna in the Treen of Dromruagh

I wonder what became of Katherina and her 2s rental: it must have gone back with the rest. You will see that Shogclague Quiggin has a small detached parcel over the hill in Little London - maybe she kept that??
