Index to Tithe Applotment Book, Moville Parish, County Donegal, Ireland 1774 <https://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/moville2.html> Thanks again to Joe McCorkell for another FANTASTIC addition to CTI! Jim McKane Kitchener, Ontario

NICE -- while not "in my area" I did learn from reading this... In many instances, the entry will give a name followed by '& Partner/s', I think this refers to the type of farming which was carried out in the Parish at this time. 60 years later when a statistical study was carried out by the Ordnance Survey in the 1830’s, Stewart Marks the Curate of Upper Moville Parish described the farms as: “All various in size, but in general all small and scarcely any enclosures at all, as the greatest part of them are occupied in rundale. The method of cultivation is such as might have existed 2 or 3 centuries ago. The succession of crops are potatoes, oats or barley, flax and oats. I consider that the first great step to improvement would be to divide the farms into reasonable sizes, say from 10 to 20 acres, according to the ability of the occupier, and to cause the tenant to enclose his farm with a good clay ditch planted with thorn quicks and to build his house upon his own farm. As the cabins at present are generally built in a cluster which is a continued source of contention, from their cattle, fowls etc. trespassing on each other.” The Rundale System is described by Wikipedia - The rundale system (apparently from to run and dale, valley, originally something separated off, cf. deal) was a form of occupation of land, somewhat resembling the English common field system. The land is divided into discontinuous plots, and cultivated and occupied by a number of tenants to whom it is leased jointly. The system was common in Ireland, especially in the western counties. In Scotland, where the system also existed, it was termed run rig (from run, and rig or ridge). Appreciate all that everyone does to create value here!

Thanks for the kind comments, I always like to get as much background information as possible on my ancestors and where they lived, I am fortunate enough to live within 25 miles of where this ancestor farmed so makes things easier with research and field trips.
