Later nineteenth century copy of extracts from a Chancery Bill between Francis McDonnell of Ballinchalla, County Mayo against Ferdagh McDonnell of the same place. States that his father leases the lands of Ballikiserk and Meleerre in the barony of Carra, County Mayo to Edward Browne of Tullamore in the said barony. He states further that this lease was contingent on the marriage of Ferragh McDonnell and Mary Browne, daughter of Andrew Browne of Breaghaven as well as a marriage portion of £150. States that the son of Ferragh, Randell, concealed this settlement from his wife, Catherine Joyce, and her father Walter. The land was to be inherited by all the sons rather than the eldest as a result of "the acts of parliament made to prevent the further growth of Popery". To secure Catherine the McDonnell brothers entered into bonds with a number of gentlemen, including Dermot O'Connor of Woodquay, for £3000. By provision of the will of Randell, should his only son, Walter, a minor, die, then Francis was to receive £180.
