Hi Lois,
The Wills of Issabel Callin als Kegeen [1684] and Gilbert her husband [1890] both confirm their extant children as Phillip [heir], Joney, Marriod & William.
The Will of 1684 names Bessy Skillicorn als Kegeen as a neighbour of Isabel Callin [& possibly her sister?] - so this and the 1703 Abbeylands records establish the two families farming adjacent half-quarterlands in Ballaragh. The only scenario I can see which would put daughter Joney Callin & husband Christopher Bell as owners of Ballaragh would be if Joney's two brothers and sister had all died sans issue, and the heirship would then reside with Joney; if she were childless, the next in line might be Joney's aunt Elizabeth Skillicorn als Kegeen, mother of John?? - it's extremely tenuous, and not sure if it complies with laws of inheritance which must involve "direct bloodline of the parent from whom the land descended" - this would thus imply the Kegeens not the Callins originally owned the land [?or does it? - there were different inheritance rules for purchased land?]
There is a curious Will of 1700 Malew for a Phillip Callin:- Frances' mnb summary: "1700-1 A 22 CALLIN Philip: bur 8 Mar 1699/1700;master Christopher Harrison(+ dau Alice, Margt);uncle Wm Caveen;sis Jony Callin (? if dead) exex if she came otherwise Alice Harrison;exex in Ireland"
In 1684 Issabel Callin als Kegeen named her brother William Kegeen [?=uncle Wm Caveen?] If this was Phillip Callin heir of Ballaragh then by 1703 the land had been officially transferred to Joney & husband [seems rather quick] and also the other two siblings must have died before 1700.
There are IGI records of the burials of Marriod Callin [1699-09-10 Malew] and Phillip Callin [1699-03-08 Malew, see above]; also Christopher Bell & Joney Callin were "of Rushen" in 1709 when they sold to John Skillicorn.
Hope I'm not re-ploughing old ground here; comments, corrections and enlightenment welcome.
