Macky [Mackay] (Raphoe South)
|
James Thompson Macky, with an address at Belmount, Londonderry, was the owner of over 2600 acres in County Donegal in the 1870s as well as over 100 acres in County Derry. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, he was among the principal lessors in the parish of Donaghmore, barony of Raphoe South, County Donegal. In 1874 the property at Magherycallaghan, which the McCurdy family were leasing from the Macky estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation, was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court. Various members of the McCurdy family were among the vendors as well as Thomas Monck Mason, trustee of the will of the late James McCurdy.
Family history sources suggest that this branch of Mackays were long established in County Derry but descended from a family in Islay in Scotland. [http://www.macky.net/].
