    10.  Boyd Gray viewed the GVRBs from Killygullib to find out
    more about Robert Stewart’s time there.  The GVRBs
    recorded that before Robert Stewart secured his land
    in 1886 it was occupied by John Stewart in 1867,
    deleted from Mary [nee Stewart] Workman.  It appears
    that Mary Workman and John Stewart swapped properties
    about 1867.  Mary’s, in lower Killygullib, being
    deleted to John Stewart and John Stewart’s, in upper
    Killymuck, being deleted to Mary Workman.  Both
    properties, though in different townlands, are very
    close together.
    
    11.  This family of Stewarts leased land located near a small area (possibly a clachan) called Lisgranaghan in upper Killymuck Glebe.  Other Stewarts were on the east side of Kilrea road in "Killymuck", another clachan.
