Trying to determine port or ship that our MaryAnn? Biggers may have departed from Antrim in 1785 after persecution by the Church after burying her husband James in their yard. She would departed with three very young sons. Family history says it was the ship Restoration to South Carolina, but, of course, 1785 ship records are lacking, if existant at all. Any thoughts would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you. r/Steven Mitchell, Naperville, IL, USA

Steven Where in County Antrim did she live. Which Church persecuted her? She mayhave gone on on of the "Church" sponsed groups, like the Rev William Martin did in 1770's from Kellswater.
