From 1868 O/S Plan IX -14 - SC 235795
The 1515 manorial roll notes the "mill of Glenmoy this year in tenure of Jenken McCaly and Thomas Kerdar rent 12s 2d;by 1600 the three owners were noted as Finlo Quaill (4s share), Philip Crosse and Ralf Killy (he had just been entered as son of Gilchreest McKilly decd. the last 2 would appear to be equally concerned.- in 1611 Phillip Crosse's share passed to Thomas Raydcliff and in 1616 Finlo's share passed, on his decease, to son Thomas Quaill and in 1638 Wm killy likewise acquired his father Hugh's share; thus in 1639 this mill, still at rent 12s 2d was held by Thomas Quayle, Thomas Ratcliffe and Willm Killy.
Jumping forward to the 1704 composition book, which conveniently makes reference to the situation in 1643 we find the three shares, each of 4s and the third part of 2d of the Great Mill Glenmoij, were held by Ellen Ratcliffe (for that part compounded for by Henry Ratcliffe), Wm Quaile (for the part held by Thomas Quail and Ann his mother)and Wm Killy (grandson of the 1643 Wm Killy)
The term 'great mill' would imply that there was at least one further mill.
The 1760 Lib Assed has under 12s 2d rent Tho Martin, Cornelius Quayle + Wm Killey (all 4s + 3rd pt 2d) with a change May 1767
NSS Oct 1766 3 dated 2 Jan 1764;Thomas Martin + wife Esther als Gell, Wm Killey + wife Elizabeth als Christian and Cornelius Quayle sell for £30 to Capt Thos Radcliffe a quarter share in our miln at Glanmoij in Kk Patrick especially to cover costs of erecting our Miln commonly called the Big Miln at present a floor milln and for making the sd Milln a wheel milln and putting a slate roof thereon and all other things necessary towards the rebuilding + finding all materials necessary to fix sd miln to grinding which we estimate to be £30 - also a quarter of the crofts thereunto belonging (lords rent 3s 0.5d plus 10d hogg rent);witt Wm Quilliam x, Patrick Sayle x
Annexed note dated 22 Oct 1764 that Capt Thomas Radcliffe hath full liberty at his own expence to build a flax mill either within the walls or adjoyning the same.
The same Lib Assed has Capt Wm Cubbon & Hen Saile for a new water corn miln on Glenmoij River rent 12d with changes Oct 1771 and May 1775
In 1819 Thomas Martin (grand son of the Thomas Martin in 1766 document) sold his share of mill to his mother:
SSS May 1821 6 dated 16 Jun 1819;Thomas Martin(Kk Patrick) + wife Ann sell for £100(British) to Catharine Martin als Quay sell our half to a certain mill known as the Big Mill in Glenmaye - Thomas paying half the cost of a big wheel now to be erected upon sd mill and in lieu of wch Catharine to pay Thomas half of the profits of sd mill for 4yrs; Witt Thos Graves, John Quirk
However it would appear that Thomas soon decided that there was little profit
in the mill or farm, his mother agreed to quit any interest and in 1828 they
sold:
NSS May 1829 3 dated 15 Jun 1828;Thomas Martin (Kk Patrick) + wife Ann and mother Catharine Martin sell for £60(British) to Edward Gawne(Mount Gawne, Rushen) our right to that water corn mill at Glenmoy known as Mullen moar together with 1/4 of the the miller's croft houses etc being one qtr thereof held in conjuction with Thomas Moore, William Quayle and Patrick Cain also one fourth part owners of the sd mill; Witt W Hinley, John Crellin
