 from Capt. E. Perkins, writing from ]S"ewry to Col. E. Mathew as late 

 as 14th September, 1645, in which he says: — "According unto your 

 directions I went to Kilsaran, and I find seventeen parishes belonging 

 to that preceptory."^ This manor was granted to Eichard de Burgo, 

 Earl of Ulster,^ 1310, but was evidently surrendered by him, as it is 

 not to be found in the Inquisition on his estates at his death, and is 

 found amongst the Hospitallers' possessions at their dissolution.
