Place & story

The 1662 conveyance

Alex Watson’s transcription of the Seskinore estate title abstract records a conveyance of Mullaghmore from Sir Audley Mervyn to James Perry on 26 June 1662. Its conditions required Perry to build a house, live there and grind corn at the Mill of Tuchett. The grant therefore linked possession of land with residence and use of a particular mill. The account comes from the transcribed title abstract, not a newly examined original deed. [2]
