At a Consistory Court held at Balnahowin Novr 7th 1738
The trustees of the Goods of John Fargher decd
not amounting to the payment of his debts - And Adrw
Kenedy wth some other of his creditors had charged
to this court Gilbert Comish attorney & agent for Philip
Fargher the extr who is out of the Island alledging
that one half of a certain house & garden in
Peeltown ought to be added to the inventory as
assetts of the decd - upon hearing the matter
it appears unto us by the will of Phinloe Fargher
in Lib 3tis 1721 Ep Reg - that he left his half of
the premises to the decd - conditionally vizt that
if he dyed without issue the same was to fall to his
second son Philip &c as by the sd will appears
- persuant to this bequest, we find that upon the
decease of the sd John his brother Phillip is entered
in the Court Rolls on May 6 1736 For which reason
as also in [] that John enjoyed the chattels
aforsd during his life - We adjudge the same not
liable to the debts of John Fargher, and therefor
have Philip the second son in the peaceable possession
of the premises - as for the claimrs alledging that there are
certain particulars omitted out of ye inventory wch belonging to ye decd
we say that wn they produce a list of these things such persons
as they suspect to make any concealmt shall be interrogated upon
oath

The 1703/1760 Composition Book has an entry #26 in Cottages:

Phinloe Fargher: for 3½d cottage rent near the church yard formerly on the name of William Otiwell being part of 4d compounded for in 1643 by William Cotch Fine then for the whole was 3s 4d Lives expired so now to pay for the sd 3½d
This would appear to be in Bishop's Barony as in 1731 find entry "Gilbt Comish 3d /John Comish his son 1½d entered by virtue of the last will and testament of Ellinr Comish his mother produced in court " There is also a deed of gift (NSS May 1730 #11) bearing date 18 Nov 1728 in which Gilbert gives half house garden & croft (other half left to him in wife's will) but with right to live there (and for his children if necessary) + to pay £4 to Gilbts executors.

There is a marriage Kk German 19 Dec 1724 Gilbert Comish (Cornish in IGI) and Jony Gell, no details of either party given; there is a marriage 30 Dec 1703 also at Kk German between Phinloe Fargher & Joney Gell. Phinlo Fargher was buried Kk German 25 Oct 1721. I cannot however find any baptism of a John Comish (son of Gilbert). A Joney Comish (als Gell) was buried Kk German 13 Nov 1751. This would appear to have been the spur to note the deed of gift of 1728 in Lib Episopi in 1758.
