Pete - You are simply amazing !!! I Googled Ballycolliton with dozens of various spellings and couldn't find a darn thing regarding a location!! Thanks. It looks like I am going to be driving all over the place when I visit in May. William Cleburne & Grace Perry had 3 sons, two of whom show up living at Derrysallagh and Bonnydubber in 1775. Would you perhaps have a location for these places too?? Thanks so much, Karen PeteScherm@aol.com wrote: >Karen at jessandrak@netscape.net writes: > ><< William Cleburne was of Ballycolliton (Ballycultan?)
