Before I leave the early Ballajora Corkills, there was something that bothered me about William 1656-1711, the eldest son of James Corkill & Jony Callow (and brother of Edward who married Ann Cattin/Cashin in 1701 and moved to Ballasloe).

CR has William's son William also dying in 1711, yet there was only one burial for William Corkill in 1711 in Tom Corteen's transcripts. Did he miss the burial on or shortly after 1 Nov.1711 [will]?
This was the son William:

(to father William, stepmother, brother Daniel, sister Jony, brother Ewan)

This was the father William:

Some people have interpreted “and he made his son Ewan and his wife Margory executors” to mean that Ewan’s wife was Margory, but I think she was the stepmother – “his” (William’s) second wife. His son and his wife, not his son’s wife.

There are dozens of bapts during the 1600s for father William Corkills (no mother given).
