Hugh Rainey was the original builder of Tullyglass (originally known as Rainsford House). So he's their starting point. The first reference they found on Hugh Rainey was "a drug dealer" at 56 church street, Ballymena. He seems to have prospered in his business and also reinvested in the community, buying land around him as his wealth grew. Among other purchases, he bought land in the Clonavon area outside the town of Ballymena, not far from the river Blede. The extension was there where he eventually built his own home. At that time the area was undeveloped, long before the current housing was built and the area became integrated into the city itself. Hugh Rainey also had an altruistic side, which in Tullyglass research showed that he not only provided a website, but also paid for the chapel, which can still be seen on the terrace in craven.
