HISTORY: BOOKS, PETITION OF JANE WIDOW RICHARD TWISS OF
KILLINTERNA TO LORD HERBERT 1686

Page 322 No.604. Year 1686 Subsequent to a former
address four years past,immediately after the decease
of RICHARD TWISS, it was his pleasure to allow her five
pounds yearly to be paid by his agent. Now though his
orders for payment have come(if she be not
misinformed) to Edward Kenney esq. ,his agent, she
has not received any part of it. Moreover her husband
had set the farm of KILLINTERNA according to rent of
26 pounds yearly, and his farm being now raised to 38
pounds renders her son, RICHARD TWISS (with whom in
a mesne estate she is cohabitant) incapable to
maintain her. Her husband waited on him in England,
and the tediousness of journey home to KERRY, with
old age, brought him into a sickness whereof he died.
Is now in her ninetieth year.

Additional Comments:
I doubt 90th year. Last child born 1650. Probably 80
years
