The eldest son of Adam and Janet (nee Cook) was John Dickie, of Ballydonnellan and Cullybackey, which he purchased to carry out the linen trade in the most extensive manner then known; and by him, at Lowpark of Cullybackey, were erected the first bleach mills on the river Maine.
Would love to exchange info on this family as researching it at present for a friend who is a descendant
