Archibald Sproule in 1654
The Civil Survey took
place in 1654-1656 in 27 counties in Ireland. Not all of the surveys survived,
but fortunately the book for Donegal is available.
In this Archibald Sproule is recorded as a British
Protestant living on Church Land in the Parish of Rapho. He had four hundred and fifty three
acres in the townlands of Stranelachan and Boggach.
