In the 1881 directory I see a Belle Cluff at the same address as Eliz and Mary.Wonder if that is sister Isabella who was referred to in thw will and died in 1924 in Ireland?

I have just discovered that two Crosh area,s exist inTyrone.
District of Cappagh and district of Ardstraw
According to Griffiths Valuation The Johnston family appear in both.
Since William Cluff lived in Magheraglass, possibly the Cappagh Crosh would be the mast likely home of Martha Johnston.just a few miles apart.

Hi All
Miss Mary Cluff died in Magharaglass,Cookstown aged 37 on 23 Aug 1884.I found an obituary on"Death Notices from Christian Advocate,Nashville ,Tennessee 1883_1884" where it mentioned that Mary had returned from Louisville,Ky 2 years previous.Would like help in finding who she lived with and was it family that I don,t know about. Possibly census records would help in finding when she migrated.Thanks for reading and any help would be aooreciated
