 |
With notes on other families in the district in the Seventeenth Century (a facsimile copy)
Rev. George Hill was born in 1810 and passed away in 1900. His formal training and pursuit of the history of Antrim made him its primer historian. His classic work, published in 1876, was Historical Account of the McDonnells of Antrim. His in-depth knowledge about the families of the Glens and Route and his ability to write this into a readable history make his works must have classics. We offer his The Stewarts of Ballintoy via E-book. The book, a history of the Stewarts, an old Gaelic Hebridean family brought to north Antrim by the McDonnells in the 16th Century and became one of the leading families in north Antrim.
