Place & story
Kennedy and Neave
The National Library catalogue records a lease for three lives of Ballyronan lands in Newcastle barony, dated 18 July 1685, between Robert Kennedy of Mount Kennedy and William Neave of Kilmacarrige. A separate entry describes a Ballyronan lease dated 20 July 1686 from Sir Robert Kennedy to William Neave. These are descriptions of surviving documents, rather than evidence that either man lived in Ballyronan. [2]
