Greetings from Montana Thomas. Thank you so much for the information!! You helped me immensily. The two brothers I mentioned, Johnathan and Lewis were names mentioned to me by a elderly lady in Texas who has since passed on. The spelling of their names was way different. No Faughns in my line found their way to Texas that I could find. My William Faughan died 1758 in Surry Co. Virginia. His son John F. Faughn changed name from Faughan to Faughn. William may have been a Fawn. some records show that. He might have changed the name, cause he might have been on the run. Some of the folks working on this think he might have come over on a convict ship, did his time or split from some Brit. sugar plantation in the carribean and made his way to Virginia or North Carolina. They kept track of immigrant ships, but I don't they were as much concerned about folks that were not loyal to the crown that were being deported. Oh well. Thanks again so very much! I'll start with that address you gave me and keep digging. My wife and I are plannng a trip to Ireland in the near future, but first we must suffer thru another Montana winter. Take care, Michael
