My name is Jocky Stewart. I was born in Scotland and I am a member of the Presbyterian Church. I am very loyal to my King, James I, and I came to live in Ulster in 1622 where I received land in Tyrone, one of the six counties that were planted.
Q. How did you get land? I am a servitor as I used to be a soldier in the King’s army and I received my land as payment for my services. I was in turn given a 1000 acre site in County Tyrone as payment. Q. What rules did you have to follow? I have to pay rent of £8 per annum and I had to build a house of stone. I then had to surround my house with a Bawn (stone wall) for protection. I am allowed rent part of my land and I am allowed some Irish as tenants. Q. What is your home like, describe it? I have built a large 2-storey stone and timber house, where the roof is made of slate, and the chimney is built of red brick. This is very different from the traditional house of the native Irish. Q. What are your farming methods? I do not raise cattle like the Irish farmers. Instead I grow lots of crops, which is known as Arable farming. I have introduced a new crop to the area called the potato. I have also cleared large areas of forest and drained the land, while also building lots of fences and ditches around my fields, to protect my crops from any potential Gaelic thieves Q. What is your local town like? Lots of new people have settled in my town. There are many different craftsmen who live there such as masons and cobblers, and the town was specially planned and is in the shape of a DIAMOND. It has wide, straight streets throughout and has a square in the centre. There are important buildings all over the town such as a Court House, a Market House and a Presbyterian Church. There is also a weekly market in the town held every Friday. Q. What fears do you have? I feel that the native Irish people really resent me, as some are very angry over the loss of their lands. We call them Tories & Woodkernes. Some of my friends have even been attacked and this makes me scared so I keep loaded muskets (gun) in my house, as do some of my friends. I am also happy and feel safe now that the English system of justice has been set up (common law). Please excuse me as I now have to go and check on my crops.
