James Stuart CB of Gracehill

[Benody1921]

I believe Grace Lynd was the daughter of William Lynd and Margaret Templeton. There is a Will for Grace Lynd otherwise Bell who was the mother of William. She mentions Grace Stewart otherwise Lynd. I believe this Grace Lynd otherwise Bell or one of her daughters was somehow related to the Todd family but I haven't quite figured out how.

In the context of the house...It is believed that James undertook the construction of the house around 1775 and named it after his wife Grace (Lynd).


James still went on to father 21 children with his wife Jane Irwin from Roscommon.


??

Are these 2 different James??

[Benody1921]

Yes. James who built Gracehill House was born in 1743. He was one of Irwin Stuart's sons. Irwin Stuart is the son of either James or Henry Stuart. Haven't been able to figure out which name is correct.

From family notes I have that Grace Lynd was the daughter of Rev. Charles Lynd.

So......... Ballintroy ones have been flogged to Death!

Do you think they were the Stewarts of Bailiborough Castle?

From the Will I posted it looks like Rev Charles Lynd did have a daughter named Grace Lynd who married a Todd. I could be very wrong though. The way the Will is written I took it as William Lynd had a few daughters and one was Grace Stewart, wife of Mr. James Stewart.

That 5th child, William, Colonel and Brigaider, who married Mary Villiers looks familiar but I've never seen the other names before. I'm getting more confused than I already was!
