So it would be great to know more about the people – Irish, Scots and English who would have been around in the first few decades of the 17th C. I am particularly interested in Captain Manus O’Cahan who was given back some of his land in the form of a freehold centred on the townland of Ballyshaskey; and his relationship with Alexander Skipton who “acquired” his property in around 1622.
