1821, Establishing Roots.
[Note by Michael Purcell]
"By the end of the 17th
century a great deal of Ireland's natural Woodlands had been
cut down and timber was beginning to be in short supply.
Sir William Petty suggested that two
million trees should be planted. It would appear that over
200,000 trees were planted in Carlow between 1770 and 1890.
In 1698, the first of seventeen Acts
was applied to Ireland to enforce, or at least to encourage,
the planting of trees.
The provisions of the 1765 Act,
stated that, on the expiration of his lease, a tenant could
claim for the value of the trees that he had planted,
provided that he certified this planting and then lodged the
certificate with the clerk of the peace for the county.
This exercise resulted in the
Register of Trees which have survived for various counties
in Ireland.
The
registrations were recorded at the quarter sessions and
published in The Dublin Gazette.
Subsequently this information was
entered in the ledger entitled Register of Trees into which,
depending on the diligence of the Justice of the Peace, the
original affidavits were copied out in full or in summary
form.
This information can be useful to
genealogists interested in a particular family who had
long-established roots in a particular townland or county.
Note added 2012 by Michael Purcell :
I
believe that
many of the trees claimed for during this period were not
planted, the application was a means of availing of the
grant, all one needed was a friendly Justice of the Peace or
a fellow Magistrate to witness your signature on claiming
the grant.
