1st Part: Magdaline St. Maurice
2nd Part: Maria Crawford, wife of Rev. George of Cottage
[Monylagen Cottage], Co. Longford

Magdaline St. Maurice is possessed of one undivided moiety in
lands of
Aghnamadoo and Ballincurry in sd County [lease from Auchmuty
inherited
from her parents]did settle the same on Maria Crawford, her heirs
and assigns
for ever in consideration of the love and affection sd Magdaline
hath for
sd Maria Crawford and [token five shillings paid]. Subject
nevertheless
to payment of £40 yearly rent of sd lands during Magdaline's
natural life.

Deed Witnesses:
William West, Dublin City, Gent {Maria's brother]
John Holmes, Newtonforbes, Co. LOngford, ClerkMemorial Witnesses:
William Keough
William West, Dublin City
Maria Crawford

Dated 16th October 1810. John Griffin, Deputy Registrar

[Maria and probably William were children of Francis West of
Cloone, Leitrim
by his first wife Catherine (surname unknown). Maria Crawford
named two
of her daughters for Magdaline and Maria St. Maurice. Magdaline
at age
73 has transferred her rights, renewable for ever, to Maria as to
an heir.
The £40 rent is more than the obligation to landlord Auchmuty
and appears to be an arrangement planned for maintenance of an
elderly
person. It doesn't prove, but suggests that Maria's mother
Catherine was a St. Maurice. ]
