William Martin instigated the removal from Ireland to South Carolina when land leases were up for renewal and the land owner (the Earl of Donegall) huge increases to renew them. Not everyone on the five ships was part of Rev. Martin's congregation - many others joined up with them. There were five ships: the Lord Dunluce, Hopewell, Pennsylvania Farmer, Free Mason and the James and Mary. Stephenson checked names of individuals for whom surveys were authorized (in the Council Minutes), but some bought land outright, and she did not check all possible spelling variations, so there were some who were part of the group but who are not mentioned in her book, or for whom she did not find further information. There were at the time only three counties, which have now become many, hence the attempt to identify the current county in which the land grants now lie. The book was copyrighted in 1971 by Jean Stephenson and privately printed at the Shenandoah Publishing House, Inc., in Strasburg, VA. My copy says that it could be ordered from a Miss Stephan in Washington, DC, but the address is probably long out of date, and I wouldn't want to publish it on the internet anyway. Email me directly if you want it.
