[CoTyroneMailingList] Murder of John Hazleton by Michael Linn at Cavanakeeran, Pomeroy Parish, Co. Tyrone, November 1847

[Len Swindley via CoTyroneList]

Hello Listers,

Am hoping a subscriber (or three) will find this extract from the Weekly 
Vindicator (Belfast) November 27, 1847 of a little interest. This short item 
also includes the names of the siblings of MICHAEL LINN (treasure!)

MURDER. – We are sorry to have to announce that the north has been disgraced by 
another murder, which occurred on Tuesday last, at Cavanakeeran, in the barony 
of Dungannon, and parish of Pomeroy. On that day, JOHN HAZLETON, a bailiff, 
proceeded to execute a quarter sessions decree against a family of the of LINN, 
when he was stabbed by MICHAEL LINN, with a bayonet, in the side, which caused 
his death in a few hours. A coroner’s inquest has been held upon the body, and 
a verdict of wilful murder returned against MICHAEL LINN. Five brothers were 
concerned in the murder. FELIX and JOHN have been taken into custody, but the 
murderer, with PATRICK and PETER, have escaped. Mr. COULSON, R.M., of Omagh, 
has offered a reward of £30 for the apprehension of the parties

Regards and much luck with your research,

Rick

Referring to William Roulston’s essential RESEARCHING SCOTS-IRISH ANCESTORS, 
there is an earlier surviving run of muster rolls (1618) for the Northern 
counties housed in PRONI, Belfast. These are available for consultation at 
PRONI only and am unable to advise the breadth of the records. The PRONI 
reference for Co. Tyrone is D/1759/3B/5 (Mss copy extracts)

Thanks … I doubted there would be. Do you know how may years of muster rolls 
there are that can be searched?

Hello again Rick,

There are no records of passenger movements between Scotland and Ulster; there 
was no need as both belonged within a single country – the United Kingdom. 
Similar to a person travelling between NYC and Long Island.

Thank you all again for your help on this. One more question: are there any 
sort of emigration records on the Scotland side to search? I don't guess there 
were anything like passage records for such a short boat ride.

Rick,

In the early 1600s, the English & Scottish undertakers (ie big landholders) 
were required to “Have ready in their houses at all times a convenient store of 
arms, wherewith they may furnish a competent number of men for their defence, 
which may be viewed and mustered every half year, according to the manner of 
England.”

We don’t really know to what extent each undertaker actually followed those 
instructions but where they did the local Muster Rolls could contain a list of 
every able bodied adult male in the given area. The complete absence of 
Morrisons in both Fermanagh & Tyrone (save for the 2 in Strabane) would suggest 
to me they hadn’t arrived in big numbers at that time. There’s 329 of them in 
the 1901 Fermanagh & Tyrone census. None in Fermanagh in 1630 and just 2 in 
Tyrone. There were a lot of undertakers estates in those 2 counties. If 
Morrisons were present in significant numbers then you would expect more to 
show in the Muster Rolls, even allowing for some estates that didn't keep 
records..

I agree with Les that we can’t say for certain, but my feeling is they hadn’t 
arrived in Kilskeery by 1630.

The Scots arrived in the North of Ireland in several waves dependent upon 
political and religious conditions in Scotland. Many settlers returned to their 
homeland as a result of the 1641 Rebellion 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Rebellion_of_1641 but returned once peace 
had been restored. Following the Relief of the Siege of Londonderry in 1689 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Derry and the defeat of the forces of 
James II great numbers of new settlers arrived.

My thoughts are that it will not be possible to ascertain the date of your 
forebears arrival in Kilskeery parish

Thanks Len
I checked Fermanagh … there was one Alex. Morison (note one s) in Barony de 
Magerbuy (with "sword and pike"). No way to tell at this point whether this is 
an ancestor of mine, though. Given all your experience, would you
