HELLO BOB,
THANKS FOR YOUR MAIL.
THE VILLAGE YOU VISITED ,I THINK, IN 1967 WAS EGLINTON.
IF TEMPLEMOYLE MILL WAS THERE THEN IT WAS EGLINTON.
YOU SEE, WE HAD TWO VILLAGES CALLED MUFF, ONE IN CO DONEGAL AND ONE IN CO LONDONDERRY. WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE POSTAL SERVICE IN 1840 THEY HAD ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS SO THEY RENAMED MUFF CO LONDONDERRY, EGLINTON IN HONOUR OF LORD EGLINTON THE VICEROY OF IRELAND. IT IS OF COURSE SITUATED ON THE MUFF RIVER,BUT IT,S NAME REMAINS EGLINTON.
I LIVE AN EQUAL DISTANCE FROM EACH VILLAGE, 5 MILES FROM EACH. MY WIFES PEOPLE LIVED NEAR MUFF CO DONEGAL SO THEY ARE NOT THE SAME FAMILY. IT,S A PITY BUT THAT,S LIFE!
IT WAS NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU,
ROBERT
