The burying ground contains the ruins of the old ‘abbey’ church. Only the east wall of the church now survives to any height. It has the remains of a gothic window, but is now (2003) almost completely covered by ivy and brambles. The south wall is about 3 to 4 feet in height, the north wall about 10 feet and the west wall about 15 feet. The walls also are becoming overgrown with ivy, brambles and young ash trees.

The site is enclosed by a stone wall and the entrance is through a small iron gate which is flanked by two stone pillars. There are at least two stones jutting out from the wall beside the gate that look as if they could have been used as a stile. It is likely that the stones from which the wall is built have originally come from the walls of the church. The area of the burying ground is about sixty feet by one hundred and thirty feet. There are now only two surviving yew trees, but there is at least one tree stump visible on the site.

There is a mixture of very old headstones, both upright and flat, and there are some modern headstones. Some stones have been used as grave markers, as have some pieces of architecture from the old abbey. Many of the headstones are very worn and almost illegible, and some are completely illegible. There is one tall obelisk stone, with a low surround, and one site with tall iron railings, one with a low wall and another with a low surround. Three of the flat stones have high relief inscriptions. There are large areas where there are no headstones at all. Some of the burials are also inside the ruins of the abbey church. Types of stones used are sandstone, slate, polished marble and concrete.

Some of the older flat stones are covered in moss, grass and lichens. There are also some glass domes with artificial flowers and some containers for flowers. There are no old stones with detailed carving. The inscriptions tend to be mostly simple, recording names, dates of death and age. Townlands mentioned are Aughalane, Corick/Corrick, Droit, Letterbratt, Liscable, Lislea, Lisnascreagh and Tullynadall. Other places mentioned are Strabane, St Louis, USA, and America. From the ages given on the stones it seems that a lot of the people buried in the graveyard have exceeded their ‘three score and ten years.’ One lived to 102, 8 lived into their 90s, 16 into their 80s and 12 into their 70s.

Although the earliest legible date is 1703 and the most recent is December 2001, it is likely that burials have been made here since the site first had a religious use. Many of the burials would have had no stone or marker, and many of those that did have disappeared over the years. Strabane District Council now owns the site and the grass cutting seems to be done on a regular basis.

At various times in the past the abbey has been referred to as Corac, Corock, Caorock, Choracke, Corrig, Carrick, Corick or Corrick. It is thought that the first religious use of the site may have been c.560 when St Columba founded a monastery and centre of learning, Corac, where the Glenelly and Owenkillew rivers met. It is believed that eventually this monastery was associated with the monastery at Ardstraw, Co. Tyrone. It is not now known when or why this monastery ceased.

Later about 1465 Corickmore or Corrick Abbey was founded by the Third Order Regular Franciscan Friars. The Tertiaries or Third Order of St Francis were a lay institute founded by St Francis of Assisi five years before his death in 1226. The members of the Third Order Regular lived in monasteries or convents, but did not come into existence until after the death of Francis. These Franciscan brethren were predominantly lay people who lived in the community while doing pastoral work in the surrounding parish. Sometimes there were schools attached to the monasteries. It is not known if there was a school at Corrick. The monastery ceased to be in use by 1603, due to the dissolution of the monasteries. There were also Franciscan friaries at Pubble (Newtownstewart) and Scarvagherin (near Spamount), County Tyrone.

The Inquisition of 1603 found that the monastery, cell or house of Franciscans of Caorock had three parts or more of a qr. of land, val. 1s 8d. The grantee was Sir Henry Piers, and the assignee was Sir Daniel Lee (or Leigh).

It is mentioned in the Inquisitions of Ulster, 23 August 1609, taken in Dungannon, when ‘the late abbot of the late abbey, monasterie, or religious house of friers of the third order of St Francis, called Choracke, both before and at the makinge of the said statue or act of dissolution of monasteries, was lawfully seized in his demesne, as of fee, in right of his house, of and in the said abbay or house of friers; and of and in three Balliboes and a sessiagh of land, parcel of the said late abbay or religious house, in the parishe of baydonagh, which said abbay, monasterie or house of friers, with the said lands and possessions thereof lately came to his maters hands and possession by the said act of dissolutione.’ A ballyboe (or cowland) was a quantity of land containing 60 acres English, or thereabouts, and a sessiagh was a third part of a ballyboe.

The abbey is shown on the Bodley map of ‘Parte of the Barone of Strabane 1609’ where it is called ‘Corigg’. From the Civil Survey of 1654 the proprietors are named as ‘The Heyrs of Sir Allexander Stewartt knt. One of the besiegers of Derry.’ The denomination of the land is ‘Carrick Abbey Land – fowre Ballibose called Leardan, Laystra, Tullinadally and Bellynashrade.’

In Lewis’s Topographical Dictionary of Ireland (1837), we read: ‘In the reign of Jas. I it was given, with all its possessions, to Sir Henry Piers, who soon after sold it to Sir Arthur Chichester; it was subsequently granted to the Hamilton family, whose descendant is the present proprietor. There are some highly picturesque remains of this abbey, affording an idea of the original extent and elegance of the buildings. Here was also a strong castle or fortress, of which there are some remains.’

About 1930 Oliver Davies was entrusted by the Archaeological Section of the Belfast Natural History and Philosophical Society to restore the east window of the church. Most of the inside stones of the east window were found scattered around the burying ground, but at that time it was not thought to be advisable to completely rebuild the inner arc. The walling which closed the window was removed and three rustless steel bars were inserted to support the central mullion. The window, which is of a type typical of Irish late fifteenth- or sixteenth-century work, was originally glazed on the outer face. Fragments of other windows are scattered throughout the burying ground. One of the round-headed arches and a portion of another were replaced at this time. The ivy was also removed and the wall re-pointed at this time ‘so that with a small amount of supervision the ruin will survive many centuries yet.’

There was also a detailed study of the architecture of the church done at this time. Many of the cut stones were found to be in use as gravestones and these were replaced with other stones where necessary. There are still in existence in the burying ground three carved stones of a similar shape. They are now in use as grave markers and have been described as of a type used in a spiral staircase. The measurement of the church is roughly 47½ feet by 16½ feet and the walls are an average 3½ feet in thickness.

In 1930, Rev. J. McFadden of Badoney Presbyterian Church had what was probably a holy water stoup in the manse garden. This had been found in a field just below the abbey. Rev. Adam Whyte of the Scots Presbyterian Church, Gortin, used to possess what is believed to be a font from Corrick Abbey. By 1930 it had passed to a Mr Myles of Newtownstewart.

Today there is only one burial site surrounded by tall iron railings (No. 56), at least it is the only one surviving now. It consists of one upright headstone, which is the newest stone, and two flat slate stones, one level with the ground, the oldest stone, and the other resting on top of it sitting on four small pedestals. This is the burial site of the Campbells who lived in Aughalane House, which was situated in the townland of Aughalane, east of Plumbridge, just off the B47 road.

The first named on the oldest stone is Hugh Campbell who was born about 1669 and died 27 July 1756. He had two sons, John and Andrew. John of Letterbratt, which is a townland northwest of Plumbridge, married Margaret McFarland of Leardin, which is east of Corickmore. He owned land in the townlands of Letterbratt, Aughalane, Oughtboy, Glenrone, Glencoppagagh, Eden and Beragh. He had three sons – Hugh, Andrew and John. Hugh and Andrew are buried in this grave. Andrew died 21 December 1796. Hugh was born about 1738 and died on the 2 November 1810.

Hugh married twice – first to Catherine Denny and second to Elizabeth Buchanan. By Catherine it has been established that he had one son, John, and five daughters. Only John is named on the headstone. By his second wife Elizabeth Buchanan, who is also buried in this grave, there were four boys and two girls. Although many of Hugh Campbell’s descendants emigrated to the United States of America and Canada, the two best known for their exploits in the nineteenth century are his sons Hugh and Robert. His other two sons, Andrew and James Alexander, and his two daughters, Ann and Elizabeth are buried in the grave, along with Andrew’s wife, Elizabeth Boyle and their daughter-in-law, Jane McFarland, who was the wife of their son, Robert Boyle Campbell. Robert Boyle Campbell’s name is not mentioned on the headstone, but he died 14 May 1900 in Glasgow.

Other Campbell descendants buried in Corrick include Elizabeth McIwaine (No. 12) and family, and Annie McFarlane (No. 50). It is likely there are more family members buried here, but either their names were not recorded on the Campbell headstone, or the headstones do not now exist or are illegible. It can be noted that several of the Campbell wives are not mentioned on the stones.

The second Hugh Campbell mentioned on the stone, who died 2 November 1810 aged 72, and married twice, erected Aughalane House in 1786. This is quite a large building, a stage up from being a cottage, and a stage below being a Georgian farmhouse. Two inscribed stones were set into the wall above the front door. The first, on the right, says ‘Hugh Campbell built this house in the year of Our Lord 1786.’ The second, on the left, is a carving of Campbell Arms along with the words ‘The most Noble Duke of Argyle’ and a Latin inscription translated as ‘I scarcely call these things our own.’ The family name of the Duke of Argyle is Campbell.

The Campbells lived in the house until at least 1876 when the house was bought by Charles Dunn of Lisnascreaght, Plumbridge, whose brother, ‘Big’ Robert Dunn, had married Jane Campbell, daughter of the Andrew Campbell who died in 1868. The last Dunn to live in Aughalane House was William Samuel Dunn who died 10 October 1976. By this time the house had become derelict and was inherited by the Reaney family. It was about to be demolished in 1985 when it was acquired by the Ulster American Folk Park. It was dismantled and re-erected in the Folk Park and opened to the public in May 1992.

One of the reasons for the house being moved to the Folk Park was because it was the birth place of the brothers Hugh and Robert Campbell. Hugh, who was born on 1 January 1796, emigrated to the United States of America aboard the Phoenix in June 1818. He set up business as a merchant in Milton, North Carolina and Virginia, before becoming one of Philadelphia’s most prominent merchants. Then he moved to live in Washington Avenue, St Louis, Missouri, in 1859 and entered into a partnership with his brother. Hugh wrote a journal recounting his journey from Londonderry to America, and his early days in the United States of America, describing in great detail all his hair-raising adventures. Hugh died on the 4 December 1879. He made one visit home in December 1835 when it was reported in the Derry Journal that bonfires were lit, guns were fired and a warm welcome was given to him.

Robert, his youngest brother, probably encouraged by the example of Hugh, emigrated in 1822 on board the Climax. After about a year Robert was employed as an assistant clerk to the merchant John O’Fallon in St Louis, Missouri, but for health reasons he was advised to go to the Rocky Mountains. He spent about ten years in the mountains and steadily rose through the ranks from clerk to brigade leader in fur companies owned by others, until finally he was a partner in his own firm.

The fur trade Robert was involved in was mainly trapping beaver, whose fur was used in the making of top hats for men, and returning traders often brought back fortunes in furs to St Louis. After the demise of the beaver trade buffalo hides were then the main trade. He became a friend and partner of William Sublette and they developed the Rocky Mountain Fur Company. In 1833 they founded Fort William, which was used for trading purposes. Another Fort William was later built in Wyoming in 1834 and this was re-named Fort Laramie.

Among Robert’s companions were Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Thomas Fitzpatrick and Jedediah Smith. Robert had many adventures in the Rocky Mountains and escaped from an ambush of Blackfoot Indians, in 1832, and carried the injured Sublette to safety. Washington Irving made this story famous in the book Adventures of Captain Bonneville.

In 1836 Robert retired from active life in the mountains and settled in St Louis. During his long career Robert was a trapper, store-keeper (he supplied expeditions of trappers and settlers as they set out on the Oregon Trail), President of the Bank of Missouri, President of the Merchant’s National Bank in St Louis, owned the Southern Hotel (in St Louis) and was one of the city’s leading real estate men. He invested in the railroad, owned steamships, where he employed Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) as a riverboat pilot, was an honorary colonel in the U.S. Army and was an Indian Commissioner. At one time he was described as ‘one of the richest men in St Louis.’ Robert accumulated vast wealth, but was not corrupt. He was described as sober, honest, conscientious and hard working.

Robert visited his home in Plumbridge at least twice. The first time was in March 1830 and the second in 1867 when he, his wife and family had a ‘grand tour’ of Europe, which lasted almost a year. He always kept up a close contact and had a great interest in the affairs of his family in Plumbridge and the County Tyrone area, and did much to help them. One of the occasions when it is known that he offered practical help was in 1847 when he, and his brother Hugh, sent a special shipment of flaxseed to help relieve the distress of the family’s tenants in the Glenelly Valley after the famine.

Sadly, although Robert and his wife had 13 children, only three lived to adulthood. These three sons did not marry, and they, Robert, his wife, Virginia Kyle, and their ten brothers and sisters are buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery in St Louis, where there is a large obelisk where all their names are engraved.

In 1854 Robert Campbell and his family had moved to 20 Lucas Place, St Louis, Missouri. This was where the Campbell family spent the rest of their lives. Robert died here on 16 October 1879 and his wife on 30 January 1882. This house is now preserved as the ‘Campbell House Museum’, although the address is now 1508 Locust Street. It is the only original house left in the street, and is now very much dwarfed by more modern buildings. So both the home where he was born and the home where he died are both preserved as museums. Robert’s last surviving son, Hazlett Kyle, died 27 March 1938 and left an estate of about two million dollars, which was then distributed amongst the Campbell heirs. It was Hugh who had the upright headstone in the Campbell plot erected in memory of his sister Ann (‘Miss Ann’) Campbell.

There are four Hamilton stones in a row, with a flat stone in front of one of them (Nos. 45–49). These Hamiltons are all related to each other, and they lived in the townlands of Liscable, Droit and Dunbunraver near Gortin, and Lisnascreagh, near Plumbridge, Co. Tyrone.

The flat stone (No. 48) is very worn and only some of the inscription can now be made out. The top name is of James ‘Og’ Hamilton who was born about 1719 and died in 1799. He married Isabella Stewart about 1759. She was described as coming from ‘above Omey.’ His son, James, and daughter-in-law Ann McFarland, may be the illegible names further down the stone. It is possible another son, John, and his two wives, a Miss Yorke and Sarah Scott, might also be buried here. John’s son William of Liscable, his wife, Isabella McLaughlin, Glencoppagh, and their son Alexander, along with his wife, Marianne Brown, are all buried here (No. 45).

William was a farmer at Liscable. His son, Alexander, was a farmer at Whitehouse, Ballymagoraty, just outside Londonderry. He was also a JP and councillor for County Londonderry. It was said he was highly intelligent and enterprising and was one of the most progressive farmers in Ulster. He was a pioneer in agricultural advancement, and the milk from his dairy herd supplied customers in Londonderry. At his funeral some of his attributes were said to be ‘honesty, kindliness, Christian breadth of outlook, shrewdness, perseverance and thrift’. He was a friend of all, and in intention he was the foe of none. He made electricity, for his own consumption, from a waterfall on one of his streams. He was an Elder in First Derry Presbyterian Church from 1908, and in politics he was a ‘Home Ruler.’

At his burial service, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Kennedy, it was said that Alexander had expressed a wish to be buried ‘with his kindred, within sound of the rivers along whose banks, crowned by the beauty of wood and flower, he used to wander in the carefree days of boyhood. So he sleeps in the little stream-washed graveyard in Corrick, within sight of his birth.’ He and his wife had no family.

William’s brother was ‘Long’ James Hamilton and his wife Sarah Carson. It is not known where they are buried, but certainly one son, possibly another son, and some of their families are buried here. They are John Charles, James Moore, Samuel and Armour John Hamilton of Lisnascreagh (No. 47). All of them would have been farmers, except for Samuel, who was a pupil at Methodist College, Belfast, when he contracted typhoid fever and died in the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, aged 17 years. John Charles’s wife, Sarah Jane Moore, daughter of the Rev. John Moore, minister of Glenelly Presbyterian Church, is not mentioned on the stone. Robert J. Galbraith Hamilton (No. 49) was another grandson of ‘Long’ James. It is not known where his father, James Alexander Hamilton, who died 22 July 1909, or his mother, Matilda Jane Galbraith, are buried.

Two of James Hamilton and Ann McFarland’s sons and one daughter are buried here. They are James, John and Anne Hamilton of Droit (No. 46). Their headstone was erected by their niece, Letitia Elleanor Mowbray, daughter of Dan McKelvey and Catherine Hamilton, and wife of Dr. Robert Mowbray, and their nephew, John Hunter, son of Mary Hamilton and John Hunter. Their other brother, William who died 20^th February 1883, is buried, with his wife, Matilda Dunn, in the churchyard of Lower Badoney in Gortin. More recent burials of Hamiltons are in the churchyard of Badoney Presbyterian Church at Droit.

Rev. Samuel Back (No. 6), minister of Corrick Presbyterian Church from 1850 until he retired in 1884 because of failing health, died on 6 March 1900. He was born in 1809 in the Drumsurn, County Londonderry area. He had a brother, John, who was also a Presbyterian minister at Gillygooley, County Tyrone. Samuel had at least four sons and two daughters. Two sons, Rev. James Black and Rev. Albert Pattison Black, and a least four grandsons were all Presbyterian ministers, as were some of the descendants of his brothers. His son Alfred, and his grandson, Samuel James farmed at Lisnagelvin, Londonderry, and are buried in this grave.

His son William Samuel, who died 8 June 1946, married Margaret Hamilton Fulton, who died July 31 1935. They are both buried in Badoney Presbyterian Churchyard at Droit. They farmed at Learden. William’s wife, Margaret Hamilton Fulton, was a daughter of Margaret Hamilton and David Fulton and granddaughter of Robert Hamilton and Catherine McLaughlin. Robert was a brother of ‘Long’ James Hamilton and William Hamilton (No. 45)

Like the Hamilton stones there are also four upright McIlwaine stones in a row, and one flat stone. There are also two other McIlwaine stones in the burying ground. The surname can be found spelled as McIlwaine, MacIlwaine and McIlwain. The earliest stone now legible is of Moses McIlwain (No. 37), of Corick, who died 17 December 1860. His family of McIlwaines are known as the ‘Black’ McIlwaines. He left a will where he mentions his sons John, Thomas, George and James and a daughter Sarah, who married John Hutchinson. His son Thomas, of Corrick, is named on the upright stone (No. 36) above the flat stone, along with his wife, Mary Anne Moorehead, their son, George, and his wife, Dora Ferguson.

The Moses MacIlwaine in No. 35 who died aged 102, is from the family known as the ‘White’ MacIlwaines. His wife was Ann Campbell, who died 25^th February 1877. His son Andrew, of Tullynadall, who was a Royal Irish Constabulary head constable, died on 14 June 1883, not 1881 as it says on the stone, and Andrew’s wife, Margaret Gilmour, from Cavan, who died 3 December 1921, are buried in No. 38. Their daughters, Elizabeth Sarah, who died 9 March 1879, and Emily Matilda MacIlwaine Gordon, son Robert and Emily’s son, Robert Gordon, are also buried here.

The Gordons were from the townlands of Tullynadall and Glashygolgan, both in Upper Badoney. Emily’s husband, George Gordon, died in Canada. Emily was a gifted poet and storyteller and was active in public affairs and served on the old Strabane Education Committee. Her descendants live in Canada. It is possible there are other Gordons buried in Corrick. Robert, her brother, was secretary for Down County Council. Other members of the family are also in Canada and New Zealand.

Moses (No. 35) also had a son, George, who died on 12 September 1873, who married Matilda Steele, and a son, Moses, who married Matilda Anne Duncan. It is likely that they are also buried in Corrick. Moses and Matilda Ann had a family of ten children and their son George, of Lislea, is buried in No. 34. He married a ‘Black’ McIlwaine, Sarah Jane, who is recorded on the stone as ‘Jeanie.’ Two of their children who died young from influenza, Violet Adeline in 1923 and Evelyn in 1922, may also be buried here, along with George’s sister, Charlotte Louise, who died in 1877.

In No. 35 is also buried John MacIlwaine, of Lislea, who was a carpenter. He is a grandson of the Andrew MacIlwaine, mentioned at the top of the stone, who died aged 97. His father was also Andrew and it was reported in the Tyrone Constitution in November 1860 that an Andrew ‘McElwain’ of Lislea South died after an accident. When he was returning from market he fell off a gangway at Newtownstewart Railway Station and landed on the rails. His wife was Martha (Ferguson) and he left a family of nine children, John being one of his sons. Perhaps Andrew is also buried in Corrick.

Thomas Andrew McIlwaine in No. 11 is the grandson of Moses McIlwaine (No. 37), and son of Thomas and Mary Anne (No. 36). Thomas Andrew was a farmer and auctioneer, and lived in Letterbratt House, Plumbridge. His wife is buried in Aughalane Cemetery at Plumbridge, Co. Tyrone.

Two great granddaughters of Hugh Campbell, (No. 56), who died in 1810, sisters Ellen Campbell and Eliza Campbell, both married McIlwaines. Eliza Campbell, who died 6th April 1909, married on 10th May 1855 at Corrick Presbyterian Church, George McIlwaine, who died 1st October 1883. They are buried in No. 12. All their family except one, Kathleen Mary, died unmarried. Kathleen Mary married Frederick Charles Bannister. Ellen Campbell married James John McIlwaine, who died 11th May 1906. James John and George McIlwaine were the sons of George McIlwaine, born 1793, a brother of Moses McIlwaine, (No. 37), so they are ‘Black’ McIlwaines.

No. 50 is the burial site of William Hay of Letterbratt and his family. In 1762 two leases between John Campbell of Letterbratt and John Hamilton of Dunymana are witnessed by William Hay of Monterleny. The lives mentioned include James, son to William Hay of Letterbratt and the properties are in Aughylane and Letterbratt. In a lease of 1763 William Hay’s property is mentioned as ‘High Letterbratt’. In 1780 William Hay of Letterbratt is mentioned again, and in a lease of 1786 there is mention of James Hay of Letterbratt, gent. It is likely that the William Hay mentioned in the leases is buried in No. 50. Campbells are also mentioned in these leases and they are the Campbells of No. 56.
