It was often walled.) and residence of Mr. Edmund M'Neill, J.P.

It is situated at a distance of 2½ miles north-west of Cullybackey, the nearest railway station. The land of the district is of medium quality.

The above entry appears in "Bassett's County Antrim" by Henry George Bassett, originally published in 1888."

According to Griffith's Valuation of 1862 (the printed version), Robert Hoey was leasing 15 acres of land at Craigs Townland, Craigs Civil Parish, Ballymena Poor Law Union, Kilconway Barony, County Antrim. For rateable purposes, the land was worth £9-15-0, the house and out-buildings £1-10-0, that making a total of £11-5-0. Craigs Civil Parish was carved out of Ahoghill Civil Parish in 1851. The printed Griffith's Valuation also shows that the lessor of the land was Henry Hugh McNeile.

"Marriage 13 Feb 1862 Robert Hoy, son of Robert Hoy, Craigs Townland to Mary Johnston, daughter of William Johnston, Greenhill; Witnesses John Johnston & James Eagleson"
Marriage witnesses are probably the brother and brother-in-law of the parties involved.

Notes:

Neighbors in Ontario were James Johnston & his wife Mary Ross and William Johnston and his wife Elizabeth Dinsmore, possibly cousins of William Johnston.

"William and Betty Johnson. He was a tailor. They had five sons and three daughters. They came to Ontario, Canada, with three children when 50 years old. My mother, Mary Johnson, was their daughter. Robert, John, Archie, Eliza were married and lived in the Green Hill, Ireland. Alex, Paddy, and Sarah were the three that came with them. They bought a farm. Grandfather lived to be 80 years old and made clothes all his life. His wife lived to be 96. Sarah married Alex Esler. A forest fire burned out their home. Alex borrowed 10 dollars and came to Fort Hope, Michigan, and was a lighthouse keeper for 10 years. He and his wife adopted five children, they had none of their own. He bought a farm there. We visited them several times before they died. Aunt Sarah was 80 when she died. "- from oral history by granddaughter Margaret (Hoy) Tate in possession of the website author
