- Ballymadder was one of the Parish Townlands .Beyond the name it has completely disappeared . The village was utterly wiped out to make place for the Scottish Planter ( even those have disappeared).
Ballymadder was the chief settlement of those bearing name of Watters. They are now scattered through the Parish not farmers , but labourers . Not even one Farm of the name remains. Madder is supposed to be a corruption of Wooders or Waters . The name is evidently of Danish extraction .
Ballymadder is supposed to be part of the land now occupied by Whitney's (Protestant) so known on account of amount of butter made by people , long ago.
