THE REVEREND ROBERT TRAILL’S SURVEY OF BALLINTOY IN 1813.
Dr. Robert Traill
Dr Robert Traill was born in Lisburn, County Antrim. He was a Doctor of Divinity and translated the works of the Jewish historian, Josephus, into English. A Calvinist, he was rector of Schull, County Cork from 1832 until his death and part-owned a copper mine in the area. Traill complained of losing tithes from the Roman Catholic population due to the 1830s Tithe War but was recognised for his compassion during the Great Famine in Ireland from 1846. He was depicted in an Illustrated London News article of the time and was the subject of a letter published in several newspapers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Traill_(Irish_clergyman)
