ch6naigh ins na bailte fearainn fa leith - cuid acu a bhfuil a n-iaruaibh ina gc6naf ansin go f6ill, cuid eile nach fios anois cerbh iad. Bhreac me sfos as na cuntais sin cupla sampla. Ba e James Sweeney an fear a ba mh6 a raibh clos air i 1 'Goala Island". Bhi dha acra aige a raibh 1s-6p an t-acra air agus 5ac. 2rd. 20p a raibh 6p an t-acra air - sin 7s-O % p de cheart eaglaise ar fad. Bhf Arthur 0 Donnell i nDoare Middle - sin athair m6r Phaidi Mhiche6il Airt ta me cinnte. Bhf acra amhain aige a raibh 2s-3p air agus 5ac. 2rd. 20p nach raibh ach % pan t-acra air - portach is d6cha. D'fhag sin gurb e 2s-6p an t-iomlan a bhf air. I Machaire Gllth16n bhf Rev. Hugh Friel i seilbh trf phfosa talaimh agus an clos eaglaise le dfol aige chomh maith le duine. Bhf 1rd. 6p do reir 1s-Op an tacra, 3ac. 3rd. 9p do reir 3p an tacra agus 1ac. 3rd. 25p do reir 1p an tacra - sin 1s.-5p. ar fad. Nf fios anois ea 'ait i Machaire Gathlan a raibh an talamh sin n6 an raibh an sagart na ch6nai ann. Ar bhfeidir gurb f an reilig an pfosa deireanach sin a raibh 2p de cheart eaglaise le dfol air? Cupla bliain ina dhiaidh seo (1836) a rinneadh par6iste do Ghaoth Dobhair agus ba e an tAthair Aodh 0 Frll an chead sagart par6iste. Ach do reir an Dr. Maguidhir i 'History of the Diocese of Raphoe' bhf Fr. Hugh Friel ina shagart par6iste i nGleann Fhinne cupla bliain sul ar hathrafodh go Gaoth Dobhair e. D'fheadfadh se ar nd6igh gur hathrafodh as Gaoth Dobhair e go luath sna trfochadaf go Gleann Fhinne agus gur hathrafodh ar ais e mar an chead shagart par6iste ar Ghaoth Dobhair. Ar oilean lnis Mellin ba ar MiChael Gallagher a bhf an"tythe" a b'airde - 3s-11 p. Bhf 3rd. 30p do reir 1s-6p. an t-acra agus 5ac. Ord. 10p ar 6p and t-acra.

Rud suimiuil eile sna liostaf seo - Bhf 57 as Machaire Chlochair agus Ard na gCeapairi a raibh talamh acu ar an Tor agus ceart eaglaise, a bheag no a mh6r gearrtha orthu. Ar an tythe a socrafodh faoi Acht 1823 a bhf me ag tracht go dtf seo ach is cosuil go raibh an sceal i bhfad nfos measa roimhe sin. Ba e an ministeir Gallda e fein a shocair an cfos agus ba mhinic iar6g da thairbhe. Rud amhain cfos a ghearradh ach rud eile ea chruinniu. Bhf Revd. Mr. Ellison, Magistrate ina mhinisteir, i Raymunterdoney agus i gcuntas a scrfobh sear Su Eanair 1822 trachtann sear 'mob' chupla cead duine a bhf cruinnithe le cur in eadan an chfosa. 0 ••• The mob also, I understand, held a consultation among themselves whether they should not go to the house of the Revd. Mr. Jenkins, the Rector of Tullaghobigley and tell him that he must reduce his tithes. This proposal however was put a stop to by a man asking them howmuch cheaper they could have their tithes, as they at present did not pay the Rector anything at all. 60 .
