The Apjohns of Pallasgreane

     Margaret Marshall was born circa 1715. She was the daughter of Laurence Marshall. Margaret Marshall married Michael Apjohn, son of William Apjohn of Kilduff and Deborah _____, in 1736. The Marshall family remained prominent in the Doon area for several generations. In subsequent years members of the Marshall and Apjohn families lived close to each other and in at least one case a William Apjohn rented land in 1834 from another Laurence Marshall, probably the grandson of Margaret’s father.
     On Apr 2, 1770, Michael Apjohn of Linfield and Michael Marshall Apjohn of Linfield (only son and apparent heir) leased to Ambrose Lane of the City of Dublin the lands of Gortalyne and Corrigcollum. In addition, the memorial references a previous agreement between Michael Apjohn and Richard Lloyd dated Sep 17, 1766, regarding the lands of Gortalyne and Corrigcollum..¹
