You are correct about a =93glebe=94 and you will find a townland named =
Glebe in
many parishes. Killygullib was the land supporting the Churchtown Pres
church. The vicar=92s manse is still situated there beside Moran=92s =
crossroads.
The Tamlaght Ocrilly (aka Churchtown) COI has its manse in Hervey Hill,
about a mile towards Kilrea.The neighbouring townland of Killymuck was, =
and
is, associated with 1st Kilrea Pres. You will find many of its =
parishioners
in Killymuck.
I have a copy of some land rental records dating from 1800-1814 for =
various
townlands in the area. There is not much detail recorded =96 just names =
and
amounts along with townland, but some familiar names do crop up and give =
an
idea of the relative =93affluence=94 of the families.
Let me know if you want a name looked up.
