  • Notes 
    • "Information from wee John McGlade:- old Padna (Patrick) McGuinness' brother Michael married Betty McArdle and (they) went to live in the former McParland residence in Levelamore. Then in the next generation Dominick, brother of Michael McGuinness Sen. got married to ?? Bennett (sic)(maybe Mary Crawley) and went to live in the former "Smith" residence of Clarkill. This property is now in the possession of their grand-sons - wee John and Danny McGlade" (Eugene McCann, local historian).
      In 1867 Michael takes over 37 acres from Peter McParland in upper Levelamore. These are the Levelamore land plots 4A, 4B & 4C bordering Ballard townland (Griffith's Land Valuation Revisions 1865-1929). Michael later takes over land in Aughdanove in 1908 possibly for his son Dominick who took over the following year. Michael died in Levelamore in 1910.
