Ita northern bdrder eonslritB \nof upland tracts, but the enrfaoe generally is \nlow-lying, and slopes to the southwest, form- \ning a ipart of the east side in the basin Bystem \nof the Erne. Olonkelly is a comparatively \nsmall barony, and contains only f>art of the \ntwo parishes tff Clones and Galloon. Ite onto \nHttte village ia fcaified Rosslee. The Oom> \nmisstoners only could find 'lb it 5,000 acres of \narable land, which they marked off into four \nproportions\u2014 two of the mlddlesfee, 1,500 acres \neadh,'and flwo of the small size, 1,000 acres \neach These four proportions made five of \n1,000 acres each, which were afterwards \nallotted to five English Undertakers, 'Whose \nnames are as fottbw, vel?-*\u00bbir Hugh Worrall, \n\n\n\nKnight ; Robert Bogas, Esq. ; Robert Calvert, \ngent; John Sedborough, Esq.; and Thomas \nFlowerdew, Esq. When these English planters \nhad been fully twelve months in possession, Sir \nGeorge Oarew reported from Clonkelly as \nfollows:\u2014 \"Thomas Flowerdew, 2,000 acres; \nIs resident ; has oast a trench about an old rath, \nand Is building an English house of 50 feet \nlong and 22 feet broad ; providing materials. \nJohn Sedboroogh, 1,000 acres ; Is resident with \nhis wife and family ; has felled timber, raised \nstopes, set np an oven and two chimneys \nin his house, and intends to go in hand with \nhis bawne. Robert Calvert, 1,000 acres ; is \nresident ; has built a house after the English \nfashion ; has two families of English, unto whom \nbe will give estates ; six other families have pro- \nmised to come to him at May next. Robert \nBogas, 1,000 acres ; has not appeared, nor \nany for him ; nothing done.\" Of Sir Hugh \nWorrell it is stated by a soribe named Philip \nGatisfeth, \" that he [ Worrell] hath his brother \nthere taking up his rent, but as yet nothing \ngoes forward.\" \n\nNot much is known of the five planters above \nnamed. 1. Sir Hugh Worrell was a lawyer and \nhad some employments as an agent for the \nGovernment. He wanted to undertake for a \nlarge proportion of 2,000 acres, but only suc- \nceeded in purchasing the small one of 1,000 \nacres called Ardmagh from Thomas Plumsteed. \nAs an apology for his delay in attending to \nplantation duties, there is the following note to \nChichester from the Council in London :\u2014 \" Sir \nHugh Worrell, Knight, undertaker in Ulster, \nbeing detained by suits beyond the time pre- \nscribed by the proclamation, prays a licence of \nabsence for two months, which we have \ngranted. And, one of his deputies settled there \nto oversee his proportion being dead, he has \nappointed one Richard Cotes in his room, under \nwhose charge he intends to send over presently \ntwenty English to inhabit part of his propor- \ntion. We accordingly accept the said Cotes as \n\n\n\n15ft \n\nhis deputy, so as he send over the ssid twenty \nEnglish presently. April 30, 1611.\" 2. Robert \nBogas was one of the forty applicants for the \nwhole County of Fermanagh, as above \nmentioned. On that list be named his place of \nresidence in England, Dehsham Paik, Suffolk j \nbat in his grant he is styled of Braham in \nBrantham, Suffolk. He soon sold his propor- \ntion of Oloncain to Edward Hatton, and does \nnot appear to have ever visited it. 3. Robert \nCalvert's place of residence in England is not \nknown. He settled for a time on his proportion \nof Gortgunan, and expended a little in improve- \nments, but he soon sold his lands to George \nRidgeway, a brother of Sir Thomas Kidgeway, \nthe Treasurer at War. 4. John Sedborough's \nplace of residence in England is not known, but \nhe became an energetic planter. Philip G-atis- \nfeth, above quoted, has mentioned that \" Mr. \nSudborough has with him eight men well \narmed, including two sons and one Mr. \nStookes, a leaseholder ; he has contrived an Irish \nhouse into three rooms and built a wattled \nchimney in it ; he has one plough of mares. and \ngarrons, an English horse and mare, and \ntwenty bead of cows.\" He died before 1629, \nand his granddaughter, Barbara, the child of \nhis deceased son, Peter Sed borough, became \nhis heir. She was nineteen years of acre at the \ntime of her grandfather's death, and soon \nafterwards married John Mayne. In 1630, the \nlands of Gortgunan were sold to Lord Robert \nDillon and Francis Annesley, who had been \ncreated Lord Mountnorris. 5. Thomas \nFlowerdew was one of the forty applicants for \nthe whole County of Fermanagh, and on that \nlist it was stated that he had come from \nHetherset, in the County of Norfolk. Philip \nGatisfeth, perhaps an assistant of Sir George \nOarew, stated that ** Thomas Flowerdew has \nbuilt an Irish house with a chimney at the end \nmade of wattles, contrived into two rooms, and \na frame for a timber house of birch, most part \nto be set up in a Dane's Fort.\" He \n\n\n\nw \n\n0MI WflW W*9, aa *n tb*t, year \nthere was a rqgnuri in his proportion pallet} \nIisresk to. his son Edward Flqwerdew,."

                        "*": "[[Image:Ballyshannon.jpg|thumb|The river Erne in [[Ballyshannon]]]]\nThe '''River Erne''' ({{lang-ga|Abhainn na h\u00c9irne}} or ''An \u00c9irne''), in the northwest of [[Ireland]], rises in Beaghy Lough, two miles south of [[Stradone, County Cavan|Stradone]] in [[County Cavan]] and flows 64 miles through [[Lough Gowna]], [[Lough Oughter]] and Upper and Lower [[Lough Erne]], [[County Fermanagh]], to the sea at [[Ballyshannon]], [[County Donegal]]. For 30 miles from [[Crossdoney]] in County Cavan to [[Enniskillen]] in County Fermanagh, it is difficult to distinguish the river as it winds its way through interconnected loughs or parts of loughs nestling among the drumlin hills of Cavan and south Fermanagh<ref name=\"FF\">{{cite web | title=Fisheries - River Erne | work=Ireland Fly Fishing| url=http://www.irelandflyfishing.com/fisheries.php?&fisheries_id=26 | accessdate=28 February 2009}}</ref>. The [[river]] is 120 [[kilometre]]s long and is very popular for [[fly fishing]] for [[trout]] and [[salmon]], with a number of [[fisheries]] along both the river itself and its [[tributaries]]. The town of [[Enniskillen]] is mostly situated on an [[island]] in the river, between Upper and Lower Lough Erne. It is linked to the [[River Shannon]] by the [[Shannon-Erne Waterway]].\n\n==Name==\nThe river takes its name from a [[Irish mythology|mythical]] princess named ''\u00c9irne''. \n\n==Angling==\nThe building of hydroelectric power stations at Cliff (near [[Belleek]]) and Ballyshannon (work began in 1945 and the first power station was commissioned in 1950) caused famous [[salmon]] beats to be flooded and the run of salmon into the Erne has now declined to such a tiny trickle as to be of little angling value except for the few fish that are occasionally caught below Cliff when the power station is generating. [[Roach]] first appeared in the river in 1963 and there was a massive increase in the roach population in 1968. This increase could well have had an adverse effect on trout stocks, which went into decline at that time. Water pollution became a major problem in the 1970s and up to 1987. Since 1987 the pollution problem has been well controlled, the roach population has declined dramatically and trout stocks have made a welcome return and provide good angling once more, both on the Erne itself and its tributaries<ref name=\"FF\"/>.\n\n==Pleasure Boating==\nThe River Erne is suited to all types of pleasure craft. It is one of the most popular venues in Europe for rental boat vacations. Live aboard pleasure cruisers are available in many locations along the Erne waterway, including Belturbet, Knockniny, Carrybridge, Bellanaleck, [[Enniskillen]], and Killadeas. In addition to the use of the Erne for live aboard Boating holidays sections of the river are ideal for water skiing, bank fishing, trolling, jet skiing and scuba diving. Boaters are cautioned, by the ''Original Official Site of the Northern Ireland Tourist Board'' http://www.geographia.com/northern-ireland/ukifer01.htm  , that Upper Lough Erne is a maze of small islands needing careful navigation and waves on Lower Lough Erne can reach \u201copen-sea dimensions\u201d. It is believed that in 2009 [[Donald Attig]], at 73 years of age, established benchmark records in both endurance challenge and adventure challenge categories as the first person to complete a single handed transit of the entire Erne Navigation in an '''engineless''' live aboard pleasure boat. After an official launch by Her Excellency Priscilla Jenna, the ambassador from South Africa, Attig started his engineless transit at the end of navigation marker at [[Belturbet]], County Cavan. He completed the engineless transit at the end of navigation marker [[Belleek]], County Fremanagh. Previously, in 2007, Mr. Attig and Jack Donovan established similar records by being the first crew to complete a transit of the [[River Shannon]] Navigation and beyond in an engineless live aboard pleasure boat. In 2008 Donald Attig repeated the 2007 feat single handed.\n\n==Ancient ruins abound==\nThe Erne waterway is virtually littered with Ancient ruins both Christian and Pagan. The sum total comprises a treasure trove for the photographer, historian or anyone interested in Ireland\u2019s roots. Significant ruins can be found at the following locations. [[Crom Estate]], on the North bank of the Upper Erne channel, [[Gad Island]], near Crom Estate, [[Devenish Island]], Inismacsaint Island, Davy\u2019s Island, [[White Island]], and [[Boa Island]]. Many of these locations can only be reached by boat. Boa Island is the home of one of most interesting pre-Christian statues in Ireland and Inismacsaint has, what is reputed to be, the oldest large stone cross in Ireland. Devenish Island has an excellent historical display centre, adjacent to its most interesting ruins. Rental boats and hire boats abound on the Erne Waterway. There are also some excursion boats servicing the Erne Waterway. The Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland Activity Map of Lough Erne(Isbn 978-1-905306-26-8) is an excellent source for planning your photographic, boating, or historical research trip to Lough Erne. \n\n\n==Culture==\nThe song \"''Buachaill \u00d3n \u00c9irne''\" is a famous [[Irish language|Irish]] [[ballad]] about a young boy from the Erne area. It has been recorded by such groups as [[Clannad (musical group)|Clannad]] and [[The Corrs]].\n\n==References==\n{{reflist}}\n\n==External links==\n* [http://www.iwai.ie/nav/erne.html Information and maps of the Erne from the Inland Waterways Association of Ireland]\n\n\n[[Category:River]]"
