Sheweth
That some time ago Thomas Kelly of Barroose in the parish of Lonan

and swear them to make a full and just valuation and appraisement of the s

I Thomas Lewin of Rose Villa Garwick in the Parish of Lonan being sworn

1. I know and was well acquainted with the above named parties.
2. I remember that Thomas Kelly the younger paid the sum of Four hundred
pounds referred to under the aforesaid Deed of Settlement on his entering
into possession of the Estates of Baldrine Barroose and part of Balladhoo
in the said Parish of Lonan.

pounds along with other moneys referred to in an Agreement bearing date the
first day of December One thousand eight hundred and forty-three and made
between the said Anne Kelly then a widow of the one part and John Killip
and the said Thomas Kelly (the younger) of the other part (such Agreement

exception of those payable to their son Charles Kelly and their daughter
Sophia Kelly both of whom died under Twenty-one years of age and the
