Readers might be interested to hear of a CD ROM that I have recently published concerning some early Scottish and English families of the Caledon Estate in the parishes of Aghaloo, Co. Tyrone and Tynan, County Armagh. The publication is titled "Hendersons & Related Families of the Caledon Estate, Counties Tyrone and Armagh, and of Megantic County, Quebec." The publication concentrates on the Caledon Estate families of HENDERSON, DAVIDSON/DAVISON, WRIGHT, REID, EDWARDS, OLIVER, and WILSON, with mentions of the families of Irwin, Crozier, Norris, Moore and others, including 80 odd land leases and many parish records for the primary families of the study as mentioned above. Of wider interest, it includes a brief history of the Caledon Estate going back to the original O'Neill owners prior to 1600, and the owners from the inception of the Ulster Plantation, all of whom had English and Scottish tenants, as well as maps and photos of the Caledon Estate area.

Hello Gwen. Thanks for posting this. Would you mind telling me, please, if most of this was obtained from The Caledon Papers in PRONI, or from other sources? I ask, because I think that the Caledon Papers are the only possible sources for my history researches on the Reverend James CAMPBELL, who was the Perpetual Curate in the Parish of Caledon from 30th December 1806 to 1817 , which I believe was in the gift of Lord Caledon; and I believe that it was through this relationship, that the Reverend Campbell's brother: John Thomas Campbell later received patronage from Lord Caledon in South Africa, when he was governor there; so that John Thomas Campbell was recommended there to the newly-appointed governor to New South Wales in 1809: Lachlan Macquarie; on a stop-over en-route to take up his Governorship in Sydney. Alternately, or additionally, the patronage connection might have been through their brother, the Reverend Charles CAMPBELL; or through their father: the Reverend William CAMPBELL (later vicar of Newry); or even through HIS father: the Reverend Moses CAMPBELL. Accordingly, if you have used other sources for your CD, I'd be interested to learn of those sources, please. Thanks in advance: Ray in oz. ----- Original Message ----- From: "gwenb@eastlilnk.ca" <gwenb@eastlink.ca> To: <cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 12:47 AM Subject: [CoTyIre] The Caledon Estate, Counties Tyrone and Armagh > Readers might be interested to hear of a CD ROM that I have recently > published concerning some early Scottish and English families of the > Caledon Estate ...> Gwen Barry, > Nova Scotia
