Does anyone recognize any of these people, (from Frances' will summaries of Lonan)?
My biggest question is "who is James Skillicorn?"
1766-2 E w SKILLICORN Joney LOONEY [?bur]d 17 may 1766;bought land to be sold to pay debts;husb james;aunt ellinr looney;mother christian harrison;daniel kewley exor (+ to take care of her mother);names christian quayle
James Skillicorn and Joney Looney were married at Lonan 24 Apr 1762
(Did James marry again?) 5 Feb 1771 SKILLICORN James LAWSON Ann John Quayle;John Skillicorn al als fargher;both lic

1794 A 7 SKILLICORN Ann FARAGHER [?bur Lon 17940322] d 19 apr 1794;unnamd dau;names jane cubbin;husb james [james skilicorn = ann lawson als fargher lon 17710205]
I found a burial for Christian Harrison at Lonan, 29 Mar 1767, and possibly her husband William Harrison 10 Jul 1761.
Did not find a burial or will for Daniel Kewley at Lonan.
Was Daniel Kewley related to Joney Skillicorn and Christian Harrison? Possibly a brother-in-law or brother? There is a marriage in Lonan of Daniel Kewley and Peggy Looney 8 Apr 1752
Are these land records pertinent?

From Frances' notebook:

There is a deed: Daniel Kewley & Christian Harrison to Jas Skillicorn (SSS Oct 1781 # 22), but I don't have it.
Also Mortgages: May 1784 # 88 and Oct 1799: Robert Looney to Jas Skillicorn, I am thinking this land is Hegnis or Ballacregga (Lonan) and Intack 46 & 48
Well, there are a lot of bits and pieces here. Any help is much appreciated.
