    3. Hello, This is my first posting. My gg grandparents were James Douglas MORRISON, b. 1824 and Mary ARMSTRONG, b. 1826. They lived in the Maguires Bridge area near Enniskillen and emigrated to the US in 1870 with 7 children. I would like to know if the Fermanagh Story details the plantation of Scots such as the MORRISONS by William III in the 1600s; or where in time does the Story begin? Family lore says that James Morrison emigrated because his brother had gotten involved with some unsavory characters and gambled away his (James) 5-acre plot of land via a forged signature on an IOU. I know it's along shot, but considering the incident may have generated a good bit of scandal, might the Fermanagh Story chronicle such an event? Also, any enlightenment in general on the MORRISON family in the Maguires Bridge area would be most appreciated. Thanks, Sandi Bruce Galveston Island TX sandi@nol.net
