Subject: exlusive Rev. Andrew Hamilton
1641 Rory Maguire's Rising. Rev. Andrew Hamilton rector of Kilskeery,
flees the country. Ballinamallard was also abandoned - there is a
tradition that the guns from Castle Murray were thrown into the Uun
Hole' to avoid their capture.

this is Rev. Andrew Hamilton (1610-after 1661), father of Rev. James H.
Hamilton, the archdeacon of Raphoe.
2nd item:
1660 Andrew Hamilton returns to Kilskeery. First record of a Catholic
chapel in Coa.
1688 Enniskillen denied to garrison of King James. One of the leaders
in this was William Browning 'a gentleman of Ballinamallard' and another

that name.
(Huh?, I can not find who was father of this Andrew...)

ANDREW HAMILTON: — Canon Hamilton (Prebend of Kilskeery) became
Kerog's 29th Rector on 11th July 1681. His mother was Rebecca Galbraith.
His father was Rev. Andrew Hamilton (b. 1613). Canon Hamilton had
married Isobel Galbraith in 1661. His son Galbraith Hamilton was a Minor
in 1693, and his daughter Isobel married George Holmes of Lislooney in
King's County.71
Hamilton was Preacher, Soldier, and Historian, so in 1683 he appointed a
Curate to help him in Kerog — John Lawson. To the great annoyance of
King James II Kerog's 29th Rector recruited a Cavalry Corps in support
of King William. The Enniskilleners sent him to meet King William in
1689. In 1690 he published in London a book with a 25 word title "A True
Relation of the Actions of the Inniskilling Men from December 1688 for
the Defence of the Protestant Religion and their Lives and Liberties."
But he was also a "painful and constant preacher". This doesn't mean
nail-biting in the pulpit. When King James said that the new St. Paul's
Cathedral looked "awful", Architect Wren was delighted. The King meant
that Wren's masterpiece inspired awe or ...
(that would be Rev. James' brother Rev. Andrew.)
