Steven, Have a search of the Belfast Newsletter at the University of Louisiana web site http://www.ucs.louisiana.edu/bnl/index.html Enter keyword Restoration in the search page. There are two pages of results. Don't forget to read the results interpretation. By the way, there were folk named BIGGERT in the Ballymoney area of County Antrim in 1766.

Norm, Do you find any SHANKS or WILSON's in the Balleymoney area in 1766 or before? My Mathew M. Shanks was married to ? Wilson in Carnmoney about 1762. They left for S. Carolina, Charleston, in Jan of 1767, she died enroute, and he had their son James, about 4 years old. They left from Belfast on the Earl of Hillsborough and were in S. Carolina, USA by Feb. Any help greatly appreciated!!
