Hello Barbara, Have referred to Introduction to the Abercorn Letters as Relating to Ireland 1736-1816 - John H. Gebbie (Strule Press, Omagh, 1972) and am unable to locate a reference to any Birneys. This 424-page publication contains extracts from a selection of the thousands of letters (archived in PRONI, Belfast) sent to the Marquis of Abercorn at his residences in London and Scotland by his agents in Ireland. The letters contain detailed information on economic, agricultural, political and social conditions in Cos. Tyrone and Donegal. Thousands of tenants are named (generally those who had committed misdemeanours, sold their leases and emigrated, accepted a new lease or had been evicted). Thus, the Marquis was intimately acquainted with his tenants on his Tyrone and Donegal estates. Those tenants who paid their rents when due rarely are mentioned. I guess you have viewed my approx 50 files of Abercorn data on CTI? www.cotyroneireland.com/menus/estate.html<http://www.cotyroneireland.com/menus/estate.html> Estate Records & Papers<http://www.cotyroneireland.com/menus/estate.html> Estate Records & Papers www.cotyroneireland.com Thanks for your query, Barbara, Len Swindley Melbourne, Australia

If you come across any in your readings, I'd be very appreciative of knowing which Birneys may have been on an Abercorn/Hamilton plantation estates.

Is the book available online? Is it accessible in Australia somewhere? I'm in Albury NSW.

Baronscourt is certainly a grand residence I was unaware that the Abercorns had an estate near Dungannon. There is no reference to any East Tyrone holdings in William Roulston's superb Abercorn: The Hamiltons of Baronscourt (Ulster Historical Foundation, 2014). Interesting. All the best, Len ________________________________ From: Gordon Wilkinson via CoTyroneList <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, 12 November 2022 9:55 AM To: James McKane via CoTyroneList <[email protected]> Cc: Gordon Wilkinson <[email protected]> Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] Re: New Content - Abercorn Estate Salaries Paid 1859 & Townlands of the Manors of Cloghogle & Donelong My forebears rented farm land near Dungannon from Abercorn in the 19C. Not an easy life. However, Baronscourt is another matter, I think I could comfortably enjoy living there in 1840. Yet so isolated - no internet 😁.
