| DUNDRUM PLANTATION | Dundrum Dundrum Dundrum Dundrum Plantation Dundrum Plantation Dundrum Plantation Dundrum Plantation |
John Hall Townhead John Murray Berryland James Smith Loweberry Mr. Corrie Revd. [Reverend] Mr. Davidson John Beck Mr Hamilton |
048 | A fir plantation trees of average size & closely planted the property of Alexander Maxwell. The etymon of this word is probably "Dun - a hill" and "Drum a Ridge - a term applied to hillocks which rise as ridges above adjacent grounds. |

John Hall John Murray James Smith |
048 | A fir plantation - trees of average Size & closely planted—the property of Alexander Maxwell Esq. |
| LOWEBERRY [hill] | Loweberry Lewberry Loeberry Looberry |
Thomas Campbell Killyloch Johnson's Co. [County] Map Estate Map James Smith Gamekeeper |
048 | A considerable hill, — there is no settled mode of spelling this name, but I think Loweberry is the correct way. 'Lowe' means 'Hill' - Berry in Dumfries usage means to thrash corn, - and as it was usual before the introduction of machinery to do so on elevated situations,— [probably] hence the name. |

Transcriber's notes
There are initials JBJ below each of the entries in the Orthography and also initials(?) in the List of Names - Won?
NB: the 1st column (List of Names to be corrected) shows a spelling for Dundrum different from anywhere else on the page - Dunarom
There are some words written in pencil(?) in the Orthography column - possibly - Dunndrum? (also at the bottom - 2n. Loweberry Hill - but crossed out)
check Loweberry - Descriptive Remarks - last word, 2nd last line is smudged, but appears to be "probably"
