Isaac and Mary BRIGAN are first found in Holytown, Lanark, Scotland in 1851. Isaac was born about 1793 and Mary QUIN about 1800, both in Antrim. Their son John was born about 1832 in Achagalon parish, Antrim. He married in the Catholic church. Their daughter Elizabeth was born in 1838 in Belfast, but that could have been the place easiest to name, and she was married in the Church of Scotland. Mary's parents were Charles QUIN (a mason) and Catherine BELL. Isaac's parents were John BRIGGINS and Mary HUTCHISON. Are these names familiar to anyone? Is there any possibility of finding these people in Antrim? There are so many spellings of Brigan - Bragan, Briggans, Breakins, Braddin, to name a few. Also Quin is sometimes Queen. I plan to visit Ireland soon. Any suggestions about what to see in Achagalon parish? Thanks for any suggestions. Ivy in Canada

Hello Sharon Thank you very much for all that Davison & Davidson information.

List, Can anyone tell me if any records survive for the Parish of Killead between 1800-1880? I've seen one suggestion that they were destroyed in Dublin, but I would have thought they would be held in Belfast, which is only a few miles away. I'm looking for the Davison family. Townlands of Randox and Crosshill are mentioned. Brothers James & William Davison were born about 1820. William Davison married Nancy Irwin in 1849 . Children were George 1851, James 1854, Allen 1855, Anne 1859, Eliza 1861, John 1864, Lucinda 1873 and a William (n/a). James b1854 married Emily Lilley. Allen married Annie Officer Eliza married William Bell Ann never married and died in 1933 John died in 1879 aged 15 Father, William Davison d1897 and is buried in the Killead CI parish cemetery. Any clues or family information much appreciated. Peter in Sydney

Susan Where did they settle after landing at Charleston? Town and County!! And what religion were they in 1820. This was the migration path of the Rev William Martin in 1772. He was a reformed Presbyterian Minister from Kellswater, Se of Ballymena, Co Antrim that brought 5 ships loads of people and settled in Chester or Newberry Counties in SC. So if you know where settled it may help you to work out where they MIGHT HAVE COME FROM in Ireland Mike Boyd Brisbane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gladden" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 21, 2010 2:35 AM Subject: [IRL-ANTRIM] David and Rachel Jane Brown Robison > Greetings, > > I am researching my family line through David Robison and Rachel Jane > Brown Robison, my ggg-Grandparents.

Mike, David and Rachel settled in the Buckstand community of Abbeville County, SC. Due West, also in Abbeville County, is just a few miles away and is home to Erskine College (an ARP "mecca"). Most likely they were Protestant. Abbeville County is an hour west of Newberry, SC. I sincerely appreciate your reply.

Pat, About a year ago I paid for a Pensear record for a James Burnside. He gave quite a few details about where he might have been living in 1851. Apparently his parents were either dead or unable to care to him. The Davidsons forenames mentioned are William, Edward, John, Nancy, and George. I realize the surname is spelled differently but in case you would like a copy of the document - just let me know. It gives the areas where they lived in Antrim as Galgorm Parks, Ahoghill, and Ballyclosh.

Greetings, I am researching my family line through David Robison and Rachel Jane Brown Robison, my ggg-Grandparents. They sailed out of Belfast and arrived in Charleston, South Carolina, November 20, 1820. My information is from the passenger listing of "Jane". I have a birth date of 1796 for David and 1798 for Rachel. The records also indicate one child on board with them, maybe David, Jr. or Thomas. I have notes passed down through the generations that the Robisons, along with my other ggg's, the Knoxes and Blairs, were from County Antrim. I would appreciate any information the other members would be willing to share. I enjoy researching family and offer any help on the State's side of the pond. Susan Gilliam Gladden Abbeville, South Carolina USA

I have recently found a couple of family announcements in The Irish Times, which leads me to believe that members of my STERNE research lived in Larne around 1940s. Firstly I have found the death announcement of an ELLEN STERNE late of Arklow, Co.Wicklow, wife of Richard J. Sterne died 12 May 1942. Her address was Bridge House Larne. The second announcement was a marriage that took place in Blackpool of WILLIAM STERNE son of Mr. and the late Mrs. R.J.Sterne, Bridge House, Larne, on 13 June 1942. If anyone knows anything further on this family I would love to hear from them, or from anyone who has access to local papers which may carry further information. With thanks Joyce Dublin.

Anne That is interesting. This is the Clan Motto, rather than an indiviual Cadet Branch. If Sam Henry in his book of 1941 is to be believied, this Hugh Boyd's ancestors came from Carrick region of Ayrshire. The only known Boyds from there are the Boyds of Penkill, just outside of Girvan, who had their own Arms.

Requesting information about the Presbyterian Church in Taylorstown, Antrim. My 5great grandfather, Henry Dool (Doole), born about 1751 is associated with Taylorstown and Grange Township in our family history. He was married to Margaret, and had at least three children, Thomas and John who came to Oxford Township, Grenville County, Ontario, and Robert, who came to the United States. We think that Henry may be buried in Taylorstown, or the closest Presbyterian Church cemetery. Sheryl (Dool) Gillespie [email protected]

Anne My understanding is that Hugh Boyd's family came from Mount Edwards, Cushendell (about 1 km south of Cushendell). So if his wife, Margaret Rowan, was the sister of the Minister, it may explain why his family is buried in Clough and not Cushendell. >From your data it would seem that Captain Hugh had two sons called Samuel One born in 1718 and the second in 1720.

I find the tombstone very hard to figure out who is a son of whom.  But I think you are correct.   Anne Shier Klintworth Check out my genealogy blog at http://genealogygirl.wordpress.com/ ----- Original Message ---- > From: Mike Boyd <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Mon, February 15, 2010 12:56:03 AM > Subject: Re: [IRL-ANTRIM] Captain Hugh Boyd (died 1731) and Margaret Rowan -both buried old Dunaghy graveyard, Clough > > Anne My understanding is that Hugh Boyd's family came from Mount Edwards, > Cushendell (about 1 km south of Cushendell).  So if his wife,  > Margaret Rowan, was the sister of the Minister, it may explain why his > family is buried in Clough and not Cushendell. >From your data it > would seem that Captain Hugh had two sons called Samuel One born in 1718 > and the second in 1720.  Or am I reading this wrongly?+ Mike > Boyd Historical Committee House of Boyd Society ----- Original > Message ----- From: "Anne Klintworth" <> ymailto="mailto:[email protected]" > href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]> To: <> ymailto="mailto:[email protected]" > href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]> Sent: > Sunday, February 14, 2010 11:00 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-ANTRIM] Captain Hugh > Boyd (died 1731) and Margaret Rowan -both buried old Dunaghy graveyard, > Clough This is the full transcription of the > stone.

Rich It is page 292 and I have a copy sitting beside my key board at present. I have not compared the birth dates, but form the look of it would appear to be the next generation. So I am now not sure who has got confused with dates I saw this grave in either 2007 or 2008 and will have to find the right note book to check what I wrote down form the grave.

In the book The Story of St. Patrick's Church, Coleraine, Its History, Heraldry, Sculptured Stones, Stained Glass, Old Families and Alliances, Architecture and Traditions, Sam Henry, about 1941, pait has:- "Other Boyds (apart from the Ballycastle branch, whose story would take too long and who are not immediate relatives (a) of the Route family) are found at Clough. In Dunaghy old graveyard there is a headstone, enclosed by a wall, which bears Boyd Arms and reads: Underneath the chancel of the adjoining church church lie the remains of Captain Hugh Boyd, who departed this life 8th March 1731, aged 75; also Margaret Rowan, his wife, who died March 1717, aged 66; also their son Samuel, who died September 1745, aged 45; and their grandson, who died in 1777." Do any member so this list know of any other children to this couple? I estimate that they were married early 1680's and with Samuel Boyd being born in about 1700, this would make him about their 7 to 10 child. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS
