45 Deed Margaret McCausland (Heyland) – 20 December 1788

Source Merze Marvin Book

Later comes an indented deed by Margaret, widow of Alexander McCausland of Omagh. This would indicate that the Lt. Alex. McCausland mentioned in the previous deed had married a second time, and therefore tallies with the tradition of the founding of the Donaghanie family.

It is said that after several generations a dispute arose concerning the inheritance of the Estate. The father had married a second time and the second wife secured the estate for her sons. The alleged rightful, or disinherited heirs, lacking the funds necessary for a law suit, were unable to substantiate their claims, and were obliged to bid farewell to Drumnakilly and the estate. The disinherited heirs scattered from Drumnakilly. William settled at Donaghanie, Beragh, and founded the family which is traced in the succeeding chapters.

Memorial of an Indented Deed, dated 20th December, 1788, and made between Marg. McCausland of the City of Dublin, widow of Alexander McCausland, late of Omagh, Co. Tyrone, Esq, deceased, of the first part, George Madden of the same city, Gent, of the second part, and Richard Eaton of Richmond, Co. Dublin, Esq, and Rowley Heyland of the City of Dublin, Gent, of the third part, whereby said Marg. McCausland did grant and assign unto said Rich'd Eaton and Rowley Heyland, all that and those one annuity yearly rent charge of £ 100. for the life of said Marg.
