and Linton are townships in the Parish.
The Registers begin in 1558. The first and second Books
are bound together, and are both written on parchment.
Thu first has loaves 13½ inches by 8¼, and the second 11 inches
by 6¾. The first book has 51 loaves, 30 of which have the top
corners destroyed, and the first 10 leaves have a piece in the
middle destroyed in addition. In the middle of the second
hook is bound a small pamphlet of 4 leaves, called " The
Prophesies and Predictions of James Usher, late L. Arch-
Bishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland," dated 1678.
The third and fourth Books are also written on parchment.
The third one contains the Baptisms and Burials from 1690
