6	From Anne's Death Certicate stating her age as 68 in 1903 it may be deduced that she was born in 1835. However 'The Belfast Newsletter' of Thursday 7 May 1903 reports "McQuillan - 6th at Parkside, Richhill, Anne McQuillan widow of James McQuillan and daughter of the late John Cox, Derryhale, Co Armagh, aged 73 years." PRONI "Child of John and Frances Cox, Derryhale, 19 September 1830 - Ann." (Jim McKinty, Larne F H S - email 3 Oct. 2004) [ Wouldmake her 73 ] When she was married in 1851 was she 16 or 21? James evidently was 19. Information on her death was given by County Coroner W H Atkinson from an inquest held 6 May, 1903. She is stated to have suffered concussion of the spine caused by her being thrown off a car (sic) on the 2nd inst. So she survived the accident for 4 days. See also note from Brian M'Q to Cecil M'Q under her husband's notes herein. G4492 report states at the time of her death she was living with her married daughter Frances Jackson of Richhill. She is described as formerly of Crownhall, Enniskillen the same address given for her son Joseph McQuillan. She is buried in a single grave in the Dobbin graveyard attached to St Saviour's Church. Her will dated 5 May 1903 which was written for her by Rev Thacker of St Saviour's Rectory gave her age as 72. Executors were John Jackson, Parkside, Richhill, grocer and Carson Halligan, The Desert, Annaghrea.

10	Brian MacQuillan letter to Mrs Madill 15.7.1978 "The only other member of the family that I know of was a younger sister of Frances, but she must have died young. How I knew about her was because her memory was a source of friction between Mother and Father! When Mother made potato-cake Father used to recall (tactlessly) the lovely potato-apple pie that his younger sister used to make in a Dutch oven. You put a layer of thin potato-cake, then a layer of sliced apples and sugar and a little butter. Over this goes another layer of potato-cake, then a layer of the apple mixture and so on until the pan is nearly full. It is cooked over the open hearth with the hot coals on the lid. This description always made Mother furious as she believed her cooking was being questioned, which of course it was not and in any case she had no Dutch oven over a turf fire on an open hearth to enable her to emulate the culinary exploits of her dead sister-in-law. I wonder what that pie tasted like - I bet it was smashing!!)	MacQuillan
11	Engaged to be married to John Ingram of Lisfannon, Dromore Road, Omagh.

Birth date confirmed by entry in civil register 22 June 2004 (which states her name as Eileen Anna)	Eileen Anne MacQuillan
12	Went to Canada after her husband's death. Brian MacQuillan letter to Mrs Madill 15.7.1978 "Another member of our family was our Auntie Frances who married a John Jackson of Richhill, who had a grocery and general store in the village (that's probably where Joseph met Sophie Connor). The shop had bull's eyes, aniseed balls and conversation lozenges and outside there was strawberry patch. I had a very high opinion of Auntie Frances as she was always very generous - just like Kathleen's mother [Alice MacQuillan]. Anyway, there was a son (I can't remember his name) who was a National School teacher and there was a scandal over some girl who became pregnant. Our cousin skipped to British Columbia, but I believe it or not the "disgrace" killed our Uncle John and Auntie Frances followed her son to B.C.	Frances MacQuillan
13	CJM'Q script on reverse of photo of farm house: "Your (great) grandfather's residence at Drumnahuncheon Farm, County Armagh. The house is very much larger than it would appear to be, having been built as a hostelry about 1800 and the front is flanked by stables etc., for changing horses. The house having been built as an inn and being on one story has a very deep return with adequate accomodation for family and overnight guests. It is well set back from the road with a pleasant formal gateway entrance. It is now tennanted and my grandfather's successor built a new house costing 17,000 pounds which was a large sum even 60 years ago (sic). There are pleasant gardens at the back and sides and the farm must have been quite large to justify such capital expenditure." Typed letter from Brian M'Q to CJM'Q August 1975 " I can help you about our grandparents home as I passed it several times with father (Joseph) many years ago. It is on the Armagh Road out of Portadown (perhaps 3 miles from Portadown) I can't recall the name of the Townland - it may be Drumnahuncheon- however it is a very pleasant whitewashed country farmhouse set back from the road and flanked on both sides by the outhouses. If I go North again, I will Take a photo for you. Nearer Portadown on the same road is the Dobbin church, where our grandmother Anne is buried. I never knew her as she was accidentally killed the year I was born (1903). She was thrown from a trap or cart when the horse bolted. I don't know anything about grandfather - I don't know why; his name is not on the headstone in the Dobbin churchyard." According to a copy of an undated page of Valuations of Tenements, Parish of Kilmore, Drumnahunshin (sic), "No. and Letters of Reference to Map _18A, B" James M'Quillan is shown as occupier and Louisa Bacon as lessor of House, office and land: A 8a 0r 10p, B 6a 2r 10p with a Rateable Annual Valuation of 7 & 6 pounds respectively.

The latter is in the civil parish of Kilmore but is part of the ecclesiastical district of Richhill. Alexander a farmer leased 12 acres of land in Mullalelish and is noted in the Tithe Applotment Book for Kilmore parish (1833) and is still seen to be living there at the time of the 1864 valuations.By following the annual revisions to the valuation we noted Alexander's name deleted in 1870. Since he was probably born around 1800, we would assume that his name disappeared at the time of his death."	Alexander McQueland

25	John, the son of (James?) and Mary (Neason?) McQuillan, came to the United States sometime before 1844. On July 23 of that year, he made application for citizenship. John lived in Vinegar Hills Township, northwest of Galena, Illinois, when he first arrived In America. In 1856, he and his brother Patrick bought adjacent farms in Elizabeth Township, eight miles east of Galena. He lived there until May, 1865 when he sold his farm to his brother Patrick and moved with his family and mother to Apple Valley, Minnesota. His youngest brother Philip. F. was already living in St. Paul, which could have been the reason he decided to move to Minnesota. He owned 80 acres and the farm was quite hilly and much of it was wooded with a small pond near the farm house. John raised eight children on a farm which provided them a very scant living. John sold his farm to his son John in 1881 and continued to lived with him. John sold the farm in 1887, and both John, Sr. and his son moved to St. Paul. John then lived with his sons Phillip and Peter until his death in 1889. John is interred next to his wife and mother in Highland Cemetery in Lakeville, Minnesota.	John McQuillan
