Dear folks, I'd like to thank the volunteers who have been transcribing and entering thousands of names and dates for historical purposes. What a wonderful generous way to spend time. Also, I am catching bits of great advice, especially about ages. Do you think a disregard to exact age was common all over the place? I have a British person in Canada whose age seemed to have declined about 12 years upon remarriage after losing the first wife.  Could you walk me through the instructions for accessing the new information? Is this at the LDS site or somewhere else? Also, I continue to need any assistance for Bayne, Hogg and Farrell.I can picture a young James Hogg walking to Tyrone County from Scotland, and eventually marrying a Sarah McKee in the late 1700's. From historical conjecture, put your thinking caps on for me. Why would Scots leave Scotland at that time? How would he have been received by the people in the area? Would a single man have traveled alone or always with a group of relatives? Did the Scots retain their "Scots" demeanor and speech, or assimilate? As a Canadian in the US, I will help re: history on this side of the pond... Joy Hogg

Hello all! I am also interested in why Scots would leave Scotland for Ireland in the mid to late 1700s. My McClellands (2 brothers) left Scotland for Co Tyrone about 1760. When replying to Joy, please "reply to all." Thanks!

I had a family of Kirkpatrick who came from Scotland say 1800 or so and eventually settled in Fermanagh. Maguiresbridge area. Not a clue as to why though. Other lines in this area - McCoy in Tyrone and Jackson in Fermanagh. My Hogg line stayed in Scotland - Hawick where my GF was born 1876. -----Original Message----- From: cotyroneireland-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cotyroneireland-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of amroche1@aol.com Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 8:14 AM To: joyhogghwh@yahoo.com; cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CoTyIre] BMD - Bayne, Hogg, Farrell Hello all!

Other peoples have left their homelands over the centuries for one primary reason - increasing population density resulted in the land not being able to support them. This led to hostile movements (wars) into neighboring countries. In the casea cited here we have another reason - there were opportunities elsewhere that were heavily promoted by the British government. This was not a spontaneous movement prompted primarily by starvation or dwindling resources. It was the result of the government reaching out to satisfy their own political agenda. They needed people who were sympathetic to their cause in foreign lands. Cliff.
