Journey to the North, August 7th, 1708 (Author: Samuel Molyneux)

entry 13

Friday.
We left Strabane; two hours brought us to Newtown Steward , a small village belonging to Lord Mount Joy; two more, thro' a very woody Countrey, to Omagh, which is but a small ordinary Town For the County Town of Tyrone. From hence, thro' a wild Countrey enough, to Clogher. Here we lay at the Bishop's house, tho' he was abroad. This is a Burrough, but a most miserable one, having not above three or four houses in it, and not even the remains of any one, tho' 'tis certainly a very antient See.
