1670/71 Drumalig, Down Land Memorial

Question

Rev. Alexander Hutcheson received the townland of Drumalig, parish of Tonaghneive (now Saintfield), County Down as part of a marriage settlement in about 1670/71 from James Hamilton, Viscount Claneboye. Since it is a marriage settlement, it will identify his wife. Where do I find a transcription?

Cheers!

Comments

NI is a mystery to me but it think Matt McNabb is pretty familiar with PRONI records which is where you might find this detail.

Thanks, David. PRONI may have it, and hopefully available online. The Dublin records for sure has the very early land memorials, but not sure how to view them, if possible.

Found! I was able to locate the original land deed at Trinity College-Dublin
