In September 1864, my immigrant ancestor Richard McWilliams arrived in Philadelphia, Penna, USA, on a ship sailing from Derry. The ship register says he was age 18 with a home in Omagh. His parents were Thomas McWilliams and Margaret Gray McWilliams. Does anyone recognize a connection with this Ulster family? All the Best! Ray MacWilliams

Hi Jennifer In my tree I have Ann Kelly born about 1760 I believe in Co Tyrone, but could have been in Fermanagh. She Married Mathew Ewing from Co Tyrone abt 1778. I know it's Co Tyrone, but some of the family was in Fermanagh, so I wanted to take the opportunity to put it out there. Unfortunately I don't have any other info on her.

I don't know if either of you has this, but I just searched Google Books for "Rutherford County Tyrone" and found "Pennsylvania Genealogies; Scotch-Irish and German" by William Henry Egle, Harrisburg, PA (1884), which does mention of Rutherfords of County Tyrone. Of course, most of the information is about the branch that went to Pennsylvania rather than Canada, but it may be helpful nonetheless. The pages are 561, 562, and 567, and the bit that's most relevant to your branch is on 561. An excerpt from page 561 is as follows. Toward the end of the excerpt, when it talks about Pennsylvania, you will notice some place names that came straight from Ireland. "In the year 1689, several brothers, of the Scotch family of Rutherford, joined the army of William III. when he invaded Ireland-were present and fought at the battle of the Boyne. Two of them were company officers, and the third was a Presbyterian clergyman. They all remained on the island, one settling in the county Tyrone, another in the county Down, and the minister in the county Monaghan. Several of the sons of these men emigrated to America during the decade between 1720 and 1730; among them was Thomas Rutherford, the progenitor of the family in Paxtang [Pennsylvania]. As an instance of how family likeness is preserved through ages, it may be here stated that the portrait of David Rutherford, grandfather of Sir Walter Scott, which hangs in the dining hall facing the Tweed at Abbottsford, would answer equally well as a portrait of the late Dr. Rutherford, of.Harrisburg. although the Doctor's ancestor left Scotland two centuries ago. No likeness of Thomas Rutherford is in existence, and the only description of him is a traditionary one, which represents him as a dark-haired, well-built man, about five feet ten inches in height, full of energy and of such business habits as led to financial success. There is a spice of romance connected with his early manhood which may not be uninteresting to the reader. His attachment to Jean Mordah, whom he afterwards married, was reciprocated. The Mordahs were about to sail for America, and Thomas, fearing he might lose his Jean, proposed and was accepted, but poor Jean was scarcely sixteen and her parents said 'no,' and took her with them across the sea. On the cover of his memorandum book, preserved in the family, Thomas inscribed the legend, 'Enquire for Dennygall [Donegal].' This was the location of the Mordahs in Pennsylvania, and, in the following year, 1729, he appeared in person at thoir door and claimed his Jean. Mr. Mordah, doubtless, still thought the pair too young, and, in order that more time might be gained, required his prospective son in law to be the possessor of a certain sum of money, with which to begin the world, before he would entrust the young lady to his keeping. Thomas, like Jacob of old, was obliged to acquiesce, and took his departure for Philadelphia. When he returned, he was mounted on a good horse and had with him the documents which satisfied the old gentleman's requirements. They were married in 1730, and lived in Donegal until after the death of John Mordah, in 1744, when they removed to Derry, and, in 1755, to Paxtang, where they spent the remainder of their days. Their house, a two-story log, stood on the site of the present residence of Silas B. Rutherford, at Paxtang station, and was burned down in 1840. The old house standing directly opposite the station was built after Thomas Rutherford's death, about 1783, and the old stone house over the spring was, probably, built before Mr. Rutherford bought the property."

According to English census, Francis was born about 1820 in Clogher. His marriage certificate to Sarah Smith in 1856 in Staffordshire states his age was 32 and his father was William McCusker, deceased, gardener. My great-great-grandfather John McCusker married at Clogher Cathedral in 1848 and he would have been about the same age; his father was Francis McCusker. There is a Francis McCusker in the Flax Growers Bounty List in 1796 and in the Tithe Applotment Records in the Parish of Aghalurcher in 1833. There is also a record in 1818 of a Francis leasing from Henry Brooke in Colebrook. Can anyone help me connect the first Francis mentioned above with my John, please? Thank you. Joy

Loretta, Thank you very much for that information. I had the Flax Growers list of 1796 and was aware that Lynd and Lind are interchangeable; but I certainly appreciate the other information and will look up the references. In May, I finally got to Cookstown and to the Derryloran Old Church. There in the Lynd plot I found three stones. The most recent has this inscription: Annie Lynd Rutherford d. 25 March 1876 Isabella Rutherford d. 29 Jan 1903 William Rutherford, J.P. d. 2 Jun 1927. Do you know to whom Annie Lynd Rutherford was married and why her husband was not included in this grave? I presume the other two are her children. Do you know who these people are?

Jim, I assume you have the following. In case not ... Griffiths Valuation - transcribed at http://ifhf.brsgenealogy.com/quis.php?page=0&prevStartQuery=0: Anne Lynd in Gowshill, Donaghenry Parish, County Tyrone John Lynd in Sessia, Arboe Parish, County Tyrone Patrick Lynd in Sessia, Arboe Parish, County Tyrone Flax Growers of Ireland, 1796 - from a list published by The Irish Linnen Board, found at http://www.failteromhat.com/flax/tyrone.htm: Adam Lynd in Derryloran Parish, County Tyrone Joseph Lynd in Derryloran Parish, County Tyrone William Lynd in Derryloran Parish, County Tyrone Adam Lynnd in Artrea Parish, County Tyrone (spelled as published) You might also look for the spellling Lind. Also, both Lind and Lynd likely are related to Linn/Lynn. George F. Black, Ph.D., in his "Surnames of Scotland," suggests that Lind was a form of Linn; and Sir Robert Douglas, in his 1795 "Genealogy of the Family of Lind and the Montgomeries of Smithton," writes emphatically that "Lynne Linn and Lind, are undoubtedly all the same," going on to chronicle one family of Linds who lived in Roxburghshire, Scotland as de Lynnes and then in Perthshire and Edinburgh. They - like many Scottish families - likely had members migrate to Ireland and beyond. One branch which Douglas briefly mentions lived in Ayrshire, Scotland; and Ayrshire was the home of many immigrants to Ireland. In any case, the use of different spellings by the same family was a common occurrence in earlier centuries, even in Ireland. Hope some of this helps.

Hello Donald. Thank you for posting these. How great that they had/have a magazine with the entries published in there as well. Oh that such could be found for other parishes in Ireland! ha ha. Your posting gave me yet another MOORHEAD listing to add to others which I cannot yet slot into families. grrrr... Are you aware of the Derryloran transcriptions on our own community web-site? If not, you are likely to find lots more entries for McFall in there.
