I made some notes about one William Faulkner 1764. Lived at Gortalowry tld. Cookstown Tyrone. He rented his land from Sir William Stewart of Killymoon and had four daughters and two sons. The sons were Hugh and Samuel. Samuel Faulkner and John Owens had a fine Linen manuacturing Co. and operated it out of Manchester England. Before Samuel's intimate friend John Owen died he wanted to leave his money to Samuel Faulkner. Sam wanted nothing to do with his money due to his own grear fortune and suggested it be left in a trust fund for Manchester University, now, called Owen University. Samuel Faulkner's brother Hugh became an Alderman of Dublin and set up linen shipping conracts around the world. More info will be available soon.
