- (continued from previous page)Ternans held the mountain and upper Lonaugh for themselves.
My great grandfather died about eighty years ago and his wife got his possessions. She lived twenty-eight years after him but was landlord only for ten of those years.
The deeds were in an ofice in Dublin and the office was burned. When the deeds were lost she had no claim to the land.
James MacTernan (a cousin of her husband put in a claim for it and got it. James left it to his daughter (a half sister of Captain MacTernan.) When she was dying she left it to the Captain's children. Wolfe Flanagan was the agent for collecting the rent until 1938. We are paying the rest to the Irish Land Commission since May 1938.
