Headstones at St Matthew's COI Ballynasaggart

Isaac Allen married to Elizabeth Johnston was my great great grandfather.

This original headstone was removed to make way for a newer one

pictured below. Since it was taken down and placed in a horizontal position,

its condition has rapidly deteriorated and the inscription is difficult to read

His father was Isaac Allen b 1787 d 1867, married to Elizabeth Cadwell

and his grandfather was Joseph Allen b 1750 Co Armagh d 1829 Co Tyrone

His older brother was Joseph Allen of Tycanny b1785 Co Armagh d1870

and younger brother was Samuel Allen of Garvaghy b Co Armagh d 1863

When the three brothers came from Co Armagh to Tyrone, they were

reputed to have lived in the turkey house at Errigle now demolished

before they went their separate ways

This one is difficult to make out but I think it includes the following:

In loving memory of our dear father

Alexander Allen d 20.03.1923

Also our loving mother

Anne Jane Allen d 15.08.1932

This headstone contains the following inscription:

In memory of my dear departed parents Matthew McNaul who died

17th August1867 aged 71 years and his beloved wife Ann Allen who

died April 1st 1842 aged 55 years. Also in memory of their infant

children James Mc Naul who died in 1837 aged 1 year and 6 months

and Jane Mc Naul who died in 1841 aged 6 months
