SNIPPET: James MURRAY of Co. Tyrone found America to his liking because of the combination of economic and political freedom it offered. In 1737, he wrote home to his minister so that he might pass on the good word to his kin and friends. "Read this letter, and look, and tell aw the poor Folk of your Place, that god has opened a Door for their Deliverance; for here is ne scant of Bread...Ye may get Lan here for 10 pund a Hundred Acres for ever, and Ten Years Tell ye get the Money before they wull ask ye for it; and it is within 40 miles of this York upon a River Side that this Lan lies, so that ye may carry aw the Guds in Boat to this York to sell, if ony of you comes here...Desire my Fether and Mether too, and my Three Sisters to come here...and I will pay their passage...I bless the Lord for my safe Journey here...this York is as big as twa of Armagh...There is servants comes here out of Ereland, and have served there time here, wha are now Justices of the Piece."
