This document has been extracted from FHL Film #1736518
Transcribed, Compiled & Submitted by Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia
On September 19 1745 the Earl of
Abercorn directed his agent, John McClintock in Strabane.....”I would
willingly have you go round the manors of Magevlin and Donelong (freeholds
included) and take an account of the number of firearms, distinguishing the
condition they are in. If any are backward in producing them, you are to
assure them the enquiry is made only with a view to their own security”.
McClintock’s Observations:
“Those marked with the Letter M are
pretty Large Muskets & those marked with F are small fusies, and those
marked with C are Carabines. Those in the Best order are Generally, but
Tolerable and some of them want a little Repair, But those in the Second
Column are Bad and Good for little or Nothing”
