First, my sincere thanks to Margaret, Jean R. and Ed for their contributions toward answering my question. Second, you are dealing with somewhat of a fool, as reading your replies sent to several cited references WHICH I HAVE HERE AT MY DESK! Should have looked there first. My subscription to the Donegal Annual is in its 9th or 10th year. Oh well. The other suggestions are great leads: 1. The Migration of Ulster Catholics to Connaught, 1795-96 by Patrick Hogan; Seanchas Ardmacha, Vol 9 No 2 1979 p.286-301 2. The Diamond Fight of 1795 and the Resultant Expulsions by Patrick Tohall, Seanchas Ardmacha, Vol 3 No 1, 1958 pp.17-50 My best idea as to Donegal origin is the Inishowen peninsula, 1659 "Census" and articles in the Annual. Thank you again and good hunting, Jack in New Jersey
