Had this been so, and had the original Huguenot William Breakey been at least twenty years of age in 1685 when he joined up with William of Orange, he consequently would have been 75 years of age at the birth of his son in 1740.

i. OBADIAH6 BREAKEY (Source: (1) Earliest Known Documented Dates for Appearance of BREAKEY Surname, Isaiah Breakey of Greenvale Mills and Obediah, who lived at Derry Big House, were brothers of John 'Soople' Breakey and William (Billy Bon) Breakey; however, no dates of birth can be ascertained for them. Isaiah Breakey is allegedly the ancestor of the Breakeyville, Quebec lineage. Obediah's grandson, Obediah, fought in the French War under Wellington in 1809 and died from gun shot wounds at Isaiah's in Aughnamullen. This entry has been taken from extant lineage lines in circulation, but the reader must remember that these charts are based on The Memoirs of Thomas C. Breakey of Drumskelt House. John A. McIvor in his Extracts from a Ballybay Scrapbook, 1974, states: James Breakey, of Drumskelt, wrote two quarto manuscripts books - the former in 1898 and the latter in 1901 (book courtesy of Art Montgomery to author, 1983)., (2) From the Ford of the Birches, 274, "His [Isaiah's] brother Obadaiah partnered Isaiah in the mill for a time but he eventually sold out his interest and went to live in Queens COunty [Offaly] where it appears he continued to have an interest in the bleaching of cloth.).

He said to my Father when a wee boy, "Come to the Mountain Meetinghouse with me and I will leave you all I possess.” Father did so and that is how he came to be a Covenantor.

See James Breakey of County Cavan - 1768., (2) The Memoirs of Thomas Cathcart Breakey Volume 1, circa 1900, 4, 11, 12, built Greenvale Mills;“[His father William] built the house now occupied by Thomas Henry at the Church for his son Isaiah and the year after, Derry Big House (as it was called) for his son Obadiah. Said house is now occupied by John McCreery. Those two men bleached the linen that was manufactured near here. The flat lands of Greenvale reaching up to near Veldon's cross were covered with linen. All the Greenvale Mills were built by Isaiah Breakey. It can honestly be said our Huguenot ancestors brought the knowledge of manufacturing and bleaching linen to this country.”“Father’s uncle, Isaiah BREAKEY of MILLMORE HOUSE (as it is now called) had four sons.”“It was Captain Johnstone who gave the house [MILLMORE HOUSE] its present name. Isaiah BREAKEY called it SALLYVALE, others MILFORD, and people this side GREENVALE.”., (3) Full Circle, 20, 1796 received flax premiun; son of William; lived at Millmore House at Aughnamullen, married Sarah GIBSON; worked as a bleacher. p29 elder at 1st Ballybay. p. 44: accepted as student for ministry 1821, d 1822. p.106 Of Rockcorry, merchant, father of Rev. Andrew BREAKEY., (4) At the Ford of the Birches, 274, "It was Isaiah BREAKEY who was chiefly concerned with bleaching in Aughnamullen. He lived at Millmore House. His wife was Sarah GIBSON. He built the bleach mill at Lisnagalliagh on property leased from Ker the estate (AUGHNAMULLEN). Col. KER had the water rights of LOUGH SKEAGH. Isaiah BREAKEY constructed a very expensive millrace from the lough and developed the land for a bleach green. Thomas BREAKEY says that the bleach-green stretched from the 'Mill up to VELDON's CROSS' a distance of half a mile. brother Obadiah was partner.Thomas BREAKEY says that Col KER was fostered by the Isaiah BREAKEYs of MILLMORE HOUSE during his minority. When he came of age, for some reason or another not disclosed, he blocked off the water to the LISNAGALLIAGH mill and ruined Isaiah's enterprise. The linen then had to be brought to Queens Co. for bleaching"FOOTNOTE: This is hard to credit when the CREEVE mills were fully operational at the time but perhaps they were anxious to bleach the linen bought in BALLYBAY by their own process.", (5) Colin Ferguson Family Tree., (6) The Memoirs of Thomas Cathcart Breakey Volume 1, circa 1900, 11, , Isaiah Breakey of Millmore House (as it is now called) had 4 sons., (7) Isaiah Breaky of Greenvale Mills, by Kenneth C. BREAKEY and Marilyn J. BREAKEYThe first task at hand was an attempt, based upon our findings, to determine the birth date of Isaiah Breakey. It was not given in the memoirs, yet most extant records provide the date 1742. However, if we consider the 1758 Belfast Newsletter article (see Chronology) whereby Isaiah and James are listed as among those individuals “who complied with a requirement to return an impression of their linen seals and securities,” we would propose it highly unlikely that Isaiah Breakey of Milford [also referenced in Thomas C. Breakey’s narratives as Isaiah of Millmore, Sallyville/Sallyvale, and Greenvale Mills] at age sixteen, and Isaiah Breakey of the newspaper article be one and the same.Other data has provided a birth date of circa 1734 for Isaiah (see Appendix B, correspondence from Drumskelt House 17/7/1945). Could this be a logical birth date for Isaiah of the news article? One would have to consider the likelihood of whether a twenty-four year old individual in the mid-1700s could be an eminently successful businessman in that he had a linen seal and was able to provide securities. Further, if we consider the 1734 birth date then we must also consider the possible ages of Isaiah’s sons, John and William Breakey when they were parties with John Kerr of Thornhill in the County of Monaghan to an indenture bearing the date of 8 February 1780 for ‘’all that part and parcel of the town and lands of Lisnagalliagh containing thirty acres or thereabouts.” Based on generation estimates, is it likely that John and William, barely in their twenties, would be parties to an indenture that would find them fourteen years later in debt to Isaiah, their father, for over three thousand pounds (see entry III)?., (8) History of Latton Parish – Aughnamullen West by Seamus Drudy, [quoted in Isaiah Breakey of Greenvale Mills by Kenneth C. Breakey and Marilyn J. Breakey] subtitled ‘Greenvale Estate (Sallyville or Milford)’"The Greenvale Estate in Famine times embraced the Townlands of Lisnagalliagh, Cormeen, Corfad and Drumlood. It was in the possession of the Goodman Family in 1849. Round 1850 the Irwin family bought it…A family named Breakleys [sic] earlier built the flax and corn mills (1760). The tenants of the Breakley estate had to pay tithes and a collector called ‘Johnny the Proctor Duffy’ saw to it that the tenants did not evade their questionable obligation.".) was born Bet. 1734 - 1742.

Sarah NIXON, rec’d townland of CORMEEN."late of CORMEEN"p32: When my ancestors took this farm in 1710 it was all a scrub. In 1717, this house was built, the chesnut tree at the road was planted, and a lease was taken out by my Grandfather, Billy Bon Breakey, of 130 a year for the life of my Uncle James Breakey, late of Cormeen. Do not remember what rent was on this farm prior to that. James Breakey was the eldest brother of my Father. The week he died, Dr. Ker, the land-lord, noticed my Father to leave this farm for non title, as he wished to give it to his brother's son, a young man in his office. William Ker, the illigitimate son of Barrister Ker., (2) Colin Ferguson Family Tree., (3) An expanded Lineage for the Breakeys of Drumskelt, By Edward P. Breakey, 3, James Breakey of Cormeen was born circa 1760 (this fact being supposition since he was the eldest of 13 children born to William and Mary Scott Breakey). According to the Memoirs, James married Sarah Nixon. (Author’s note: Sarah Nixon was the stepdaughter of Humphry Thomson of Bushford, in the County of Monaghan: see chapter titled "Marriage Settlement." William Breakey of Drumskelt was "of the third part" to this marriage settlement dated 9 Dec. 1802. Once again, this author questions to which William Breakey of Drumskelt this applies, since according to the Memoirs, William ‘Billybon’ Breakey died in 1798). According to Thomas C. Breakey, James was given the Townland of Cormeen as a wedding portion. Further reference to James Breakey of Cormeen may be found in the chapter “Conditional Bond 11 April 1809,” whereby he is due receipt of funds from John Breakey of Drumskelt to the sum of £ 2680 sterling. Further reference to James and his son William may be found in the chapter “Statement of title of William Johnston Esqre to the Lands of Carricknaveagh in the County of Monaghan.” Dated 19 Jan 1833 it reads: “…did add insert nominate and appoint the life of William Breakey son of James Breakey of Cormeen in the County of Monaghan""James and Sarah Nixon Breakey had issue (from “A Registry of Children Baptised by the Rev.

She was educated by a Miss Godfery of Banbridge. She could do lovely pen and ink sketches and imitate (reproduce) any handwriting. Father and Henry too. For years she was writing for the Pal Mal Gazett, Chambers Journal, and a paper called the Armagh Gazett. John Heatly was the editor and proprietor. When he was doing badly with whiskey, she wrote his leader for several months and, in fact, kept his paper afloat 'till her death, when he paid her remains the last token of respect and cried like a child over her grave. She stood high, had a splendid address, was very comely, had one mass of brown curls on her head. She played the violin to a turn, sang sweetly and was the best at elocution of all of us except Father. He poor man would look at her in love and admiration when reciting some of his old things, clap her on the back and say, "Letty you are the blood of the Brealaghans".“When she was on her deathbed, she got a letter of admittance to the staff of a London paper called Judy and £100 a year to begin. When I read it to her, she said, "Long looked for is come at last but too late for me". She died the 28th May, 1870. Letitia also had the gift of ventriloquism. She often brought those who believe in ghosts to a stand. She could speak as if it were a voice up the chimney, under the table or under the bed. It hurt her throat so she gave it up.”… buried beside her father in the Derrivally graveyard 28 May 1870””When I was getting instructions on the violin from James Miller, Letitia hearing me instructed, could play much better than me at the end of the year. She and I were the last to play on the water. Young people would dance on meadows and high firm banks in the Brownbog.””My sister Letitia had her character told by the above mentioned graphologist, by a London noted physiognomist, and a London chronologist., (3) The Memoirs of Thomas Cathcart Breakey Volume 1, circa 1900, continued, My sister Letitia had her character told by the above mentioned graphologist, by a London noted physiognomist, and a London chronologist. All four agreed that the most prominent feature in her character was she had a very distinct and decided taste for literature. True enough, as that can be seen in what I have said of her in front of this book.), b. 09 Jun 1837; d. 28 May 1870.

HUGH GALT8 BREAKEY (JOHN7, WILLIAM6, WILLIAM5, WILLIAM4, WILLIAM3 DE BREQUET, SECOND UNNAMED2, UNNAMED1) (Source: (1) Colin Ferguson Family Tree., (2) The Memoirs of Thomas Cathcart Breakey Volume 1, circa 1900, 9, Hugh was a very hard worked man for a number of years on this farm. He was the strongest man of us all. Could carry 5 cwt. easily. The late Hugh Karns of Tullycorbet and he carried 5 cwt. each in a limit of time of white seed oats from the present markethouse to Gray's corner on a bet of a £1 (pound Sterling). Hugh Breakey lifted the pound. John Thompson of Shantna and David Carson lifted the sacks on them. Hugh was a self taught carpenter. He made a cart on his leaving this country over 30 years ago. One wheel is working still. He left for Australia and was very prosperous. He married Elizabeth Swan, a Scotch girl, one of 7 sisters who were all in Melbourne. His father-in-law, being a builder and contractor, employed Hugh as a joiner at big pay. Hugh bought a bit of waste land in a direction the city was likely to reach, and time after time built on it. The last bit he sold for a site of a public building and realized quite a fortune in that speculation. Now the city is 8 miles outside his property. He was a man about 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighed 14 stones. He had dark, strong, stiff hair and a good complexion. His wife had four children by Hugh; John, Ada, Earnest, and Letitia. His boys learned joinery and son John is a contractor and builder in Capetown. Earnest lives on his Father's property. Ada is married. Hugh died the 30th of April, 1873. He was the most resolute and pugnaceous of any of us. He would very soon let the offender know the odds between mutton and goat. He was most honourable and, seeing money was not plentiful when he left, his out- fit and passage costing quite a round sum, he refunded all out of his first earnings.) was born 21 May 1829, and died 30 Apr 1873. He married ELIZABETH SWAN. She was born Bet. 1824 - 1834, and died Bef. 1934.

She was a 7-months old and was in a sort of sleep, rolled up in wadding for 9 weeks, out of which she wakened quite brisk and took to the breast of a foster mother. She never counted the costs of any project that would be put before her, which left her the option to 'feel out at the elbows' quite regularly. She was married to a widower, Isaiah Ferguson, well on the turn of life. She went into 7 adult children. His youngest, a girl of 10 stones, never could be reconciled to Elizabeth as a step-mother. Elizabeth very soon came to see she was at sea without sails, or rudder among those step children. She had two sons and one daughter, Robert, Henry, and Bessie. Isaiah Ferguson and Elizabeth with the three children left his lovely farm at Killucan in County West Meath and went out to Queensland (Australia) after his first wife's family. At the entreaties of Elizabeth, Isaiah Ferguson went into business with his brothers, half brothers and sons who were too smart for him. Ferguson had to dissolve partnership at a considerable loss and Elizabeth again came to see she was very small fur among the Fergusons (Elizabeth wrote me this). She died on the 25th of December, 1893, and Isaiah Ferguson, her husband, two years after. She was medium size with dark hair, and no curls. She was educated at the Moravian Settlement near Cootehill (I am not sure that above dates are correct). She was particularly good at sampler work, and that work in the sitting room in this house in a frame was executed by her.) was born 22 Jun 1831, and died 23 Dec 1886. She married ISAIAH JEREMIAH FERGUSON (Source: Colin Ferguson Family Tree.). He died 1895.

Having an unretentive memory, I was not a smart boy at school. All I can say for myself is, like my Father, William, James, and Letitia, I never let boy or girl take a first prize at the school where I would be for elocution. I even went farther than that when at the Model Farm School near Saintfield, County Down. James had me entered as a competitor for a £5 gold medal in elocution in the Concert Rooms, Downpatrick, where any one under 16 in the county was at liberty to come foreward. It ended up in a lass and me going the same lines three times each before a Judge from the Haymarket Theatre-in London could decide. The prize was handed to me with some very complimentary remarks from the Judge.Lord Downshire said to the young girl, “You have pleased me to a turn, you have confidence with discretion. Be advised by me and you will be a celebrity on the stage yet. Tell your people I will introduce you to the proprietor of the Drury-Lane Theatre and I will give you the run of my London house till established." In 12 years she was worth £1.00 a night and in time, well married and in a position to retire from active service.Though I was what is termed a dull boy at school, yet I could manage points so that I never had I.D. on my back or the old wig on my head which was a favourite punishment of Owen Murphy. My tastes were a little more varied than others of our family. I could stuff birds, make shoes and play the violin to a turn. I could preserve eggshells too. Mrs. Leslie of Ba1lybay, House gave me £1 for preserving a peacock with his tail up and her Cook gave me £1 for preserving eggshells from the Jenny Wren to the Swan. However I did not produce the eggs or glass case for them. I am 5 feet, 9 inches in height, and was of a sandy complection (sic) . My hair got to be a fancy colour among horses early in life. I was born in 1834.., (2) Colin Ferguson Family Tree.) was born 27 Apr 1834, and died 02 Apr 1914 (Source: T the Ford of the Birches, 127, Burial at Second Ballybay Graveyard, Row "E.").
