Dear William, It is possible that your David is related to one Adam Dinsmore, married to Elizabeth (possible maiden name, Jackson). If so, they came from Donegal...I am trying to follow a lead received from a correspondent in Donegal. There was a Samuel Dinsmore listed in the Protestant Householders Census (I think, 1765) for Shantallow. Shantallow is a district of Londonderry and close to where Adam and family were located in what is now the border of Burt Parish and Fahan Upper Parish. Adam sublet land there. This particular family carried the same family names from one generation to the next and had a son named David who was born in Buncombe County, NC, abt 1775. Your David may have been Adam's brother?! Adam and his son, James, went to the Mississippi Territory in the early 1800's. They settled in Morgan County, Alabama. Adam's son, David, did not go to AL but to Indiana, and he changed the spelling of the surname to Densmore. I have a question for you. We know that Adam and family came to Colonial America abt August, 1772, but I have not been able to find passenger records for this time period. How did you go about finding your ship information? I have tried, unsuccessfully, every resource I can find both on the internet and off. Thank you for any advice you can give. KL Dinsmore
