Hi Thanks Nevin, here are some dates. Thomas McKenzie would have been born abt 1814. I guess he would have married Sarah in the mid 1830's. I have their children as John born 1842, Margaret 1847 and Thomas 1850. Thomas McMillan married Ann Kerr in 1867 and Mary Ann was born 1868 in Portglenone Ballymena.

Galgorm, the townland, has 446 acres; Galgorm Parks, a separate townland, has 1224 acres. Galgorm Estate is much bigger. Ahoghill and Galgorm are also villages/small towns. I have a copy of Heads and Hearths by S T Carleton. It lists the names of those who can be found in the Poll Tax returns of 1660 and the Hearth Money Rolls of 1666 and 1669. Some townlands are grouped and so some names can't be linked to a specific townland. Those who lived in the Ballymena and Galgorm Estates are not identified with townlands. These two estates also transgress parish boundaries. Carleton says that Galgorm and Galgorm Parks townlands are in the parish of Ahoghill. He mentions the Colville Estate Maps, 1722 PRONI ref D.1009/59 Galgorm Estate was called Ballyconnell West in 1666 and the old territory of Glanagherty (various spellings) was divided equally between the Galgorm and Ballymena Estates.

John, Irvines can be found all over Ulster but especially in Cos Fermanagh and Tyrone. I have a John Irvine who left Ireland with his wife in 1834. John was b21 Feb 1809, son of John Irvine and Nancy Boyd of the townland of Islands of Carnmoon, parish of Billy, near Bushmills in north Co Antrim. He married Mary Boyd, a neighbour, in August 1833 and they passed through Sandusky, Ohio, on their way to Colorado and California. The Irvines in the Islands of Carnmoon later changed their name to Irwin. Regards Nevin
