The following information was obtained at PRONI recently. It will pertain mostly to branch #12 and related branches. I have only outlined the contents, and await enquiries. The contents are difficult to read,but I estimate that over 90% can be read, once you get onto the lingo. I have numbered them so that anyone can ask for particulars about any given item. There will be more to come at a later date.

1) Deed of Conveyance.
John McCrea to John Latta, 1/16th of the lands of Killeney. Consideration of 200 pds. August 30, 1810.
2) A Memorial of the said Deed, August 30, 1810. John Latta to John McCrea, the sum of 200 pds.
3) Deed forever of Land and Premises in Killeaney. Consideration money, 30 pds. August 30, 1810.
4) James McCrea received from John Latta, consideration money of 191.11.0 pds. December 6, 1806. Present were George Hamilton and James Lindsay.
5) Indenture made between James McCrea and John Latta, executed May 21, 1772.
6) Replacement receipt for one lost. John Lata to James Walker, for 30 pds. February 26, 1838.
7) Memorial of Deed Entered - January 26, 1807.
8) Paper to do with composition of Lands for Tithes in Parish of Donaghedy, Co. Tyrone. Signed, John Latta. June 26th, 1833.
9) Re: Establishment of Tithes by King George 4th, and King William. Dated February 14, 1833.
10) Receipt to John Latta from James McCrea, for 191.11.0 pds. Dated December 10, 1806. (?)
11) Boundary Map of John Latta's farm in Killeany, together with the Incumbants Certificate respecting thecomposition of Tithes. Dated 1833.
12) A Memorial of Deed filed February 26, 1824. James Lindsay to John Latta.
13) Indenture made between James Lindsay and John Latta. Dated April 21, 1827. Witnesses: Samuel Young and William Latta.
14) Indenture made between James Lindsay and John Latta, dated January 9, 1824. (Notice that John Latta may have had a stroke, or some other ailment to cause unsteady hand. Alex.)

Unfortunately no ages are given, so conjecture must be used. I think that John must have been Robert's son that returned from "America" to educate his children, and thus be Samuel's brother. Comments will be welcome. What is William's relationship?

I will try to follow this with more papers this coming week. There should be a total of three separate messages.
