Does anyone know of members of a Crooks family immigrating to the USA in the early 1700's. In 1669 there were 5 known Crooks families and I am trying to determine which are mine and believe it might be a James Crooks & family living at Ahoghill, Glagorm Estate which was a Alexander Colville property. As a matter of interest I am surprised that how few Crooks are left there. My first American born generation consisted of 19 children, their parents all Ireland born (3 of them). To make matters even worse, just 2 cousins of this batch had 22 children all of which were born between 1760-1810. Perhaps it was a good idea that they did migrate as the Isle would have sunk long ago under the weight of these progenies. Gordon Crooks, the 8th generation

>Gordon, My STEVENSON family is also from Ahoghill, Galgorm, and they came to Canada in 1840's with Clark, Sloan families. Where can I find the list of tenants for your Alexander Coville estate?

Hi Wendy I have a Jane SLOAN from the area she is my 4x granny. She married John CUNNINGHAM 1824 at Grange Presbyterian Church which is about 5 miles from Ahoghill. I have not looked any further for info on the SLOANS or the CUNNINGHAM's yet, have been concentrating on my McCartney/Wallace lines! Does Jane SLOAN ring any bells, or who are the SLOAN's that left Ireland - if I find anything when I am next over I can let you know?
