NOTES
- First wife of Thomas McYlrea (Ballacooiley), married 1670s?
- Five children: Ann (1673-1673), Catherine (b1678), John (1678-1681), Thomas (b1680), William (b1682), Margaret (b1684). Ann had died soon after her birth.
- Strange that she did not mention John who was the heir at law to the estate
- Ballacooiley estate went to the oldest son of William after John died in 1739 without issue
- Claimants William & Jon McYlrea might be her brothers-in-law (ie. Thomas's brothers) for her sons were too young to be claiming against their mother's will
