Partial List, Parish of Dromore - 1666

Transcribed from: Notes of Dromore Parish, Co Tyrone by P.O. Gallachair Part One General History
The first list of Dromore Parishioners available is of those who paid the hearth tax in 1666, when the parish population was only a few hundred at the most. A tax of 2 shillings on every hearth and fire-place. Of fifty-six Dromore taxpayers then, only eight or nine had foreign names, showing how few colonists resided there then. The surnames also are mainly the same as we find in the parish to this day.(Day Notes were written) Apart from a modernising of the spellings of the townland names, BUT NOT THE SURNAMES, this is a copy of the original tax list: Esker & Galbally: Daniel O'Donnell, Robert Harper Aghnamoe : James Pearsy, Paule Knoghton, Gilgrome O'Hoine Rahoney: Manus O'Sclevin, Phelemy m'Cann, Patrick m'Rory Glengeen : Neill O'Neill Tullyclunagh: Laughlan o'Corigan Lisenedin: Patrick o'Markill Cornamucklagh: Phelemy m'Kevir, Torlogh o'Mughan Tattycor: Edmund o'Gorman, Daniel o'Dolan Cranny & Kieldrum: Edmund m'Ardell, Cormick m'Sorley Tummery: Edmund o'Kelly, Patrick m'Kilreavy, Connor m'Canny Dergany: Art o'Dally, Brian o'Cassedy, Terlagh m'Gilterny Drumskinny: James Stewart Mullaghnagoagh & Magheragart: James Stewart, Andrew Steel, Mathew Fleming Aghlisk & Drumconnis: Ouen Magrah, Patrick Magrah Gardrum: Shan m'Guigan, Donachy m'Caverra Mullanboy: Phelemy o'Neill, William Woods Oughterard: James m'Quead, Neal m'Glaghlin Aghadarra: Art o'Conally, Phelemy m'Glaghlin Drumderg & Coyagh: Rory o'Dorygan, William o'Dorygan, Ouen o'Soraghan Shaneragh: Fereagh Macosker, Neill o'Mulavell, Cormick o'Connellan Aghadulla: Conn o'Neill Mullaghban & Goland: Adam M'Quad, Torlogh m'Quad Drumlish: Patrick Clarke, Henry m'Quade, Brian o'Barron Grennan & Dressogue: John Anthony, Shan O'Neill, Hugh m'Kilmay Dullaghan & Letteree: Rory o'Neill, Torlogh O'Donally Corbally: Phelemy o'Quine, Morish m'Canny Lettergesh: Robert Woods, Francis Clarke Corladergan: Edwards Woods, Hugh o'Boylan |
