Place & story

Annual aid and a separate bequest

In Racavan parish, within Lower Antrim, Samuel Lewis recorded a subscription-supported clothing society providing clothing for fifty males and fifty females annually. His 1837 account separately mentions Mr. Jamieson’s £600 bequest to the poor, made in 1829, which had not yet been paid over for that purpose. The promised legacy therefore should not be counted as money already distributed through the society. [2]
