What they did was to trace out nearly all the descendants of James Liddell b. 1712 (or perhaps 1707) in Roxboughshire Scotland and who died in Abbeville District, South Carolina about 1790 or so (I'm having to use my memory for that.) He had three of six sons to survive combat during the American War of Independence. JTL and P's project was financed, I've been told by Ann Liddell of Hammond, La.(now deceased), by the Merchison family of Louisiana. JTL/P completed their opus in 1958. There was a nearly 400-page "all-family" version and one for each of the three war-surviving sons--Andrew, Moses and, I think, George. The "son" versions were simply pages taken from the "all-family" version and without being page-renumbered assemblied in order for each son's line. Because of internal notations in the all-family version, which we have only in microfilm from the Mormons, we think that it received a 1,000-copy pressrun and would have been semi-soft bound in a black leather-like vinyl cover with white letters silk-screen on the front cover and spine. We have only two actual bound copies of this nature. Both are of the Andrew "son" version, so we are confident that there was at least this version printed and bound and distributed. I received my copy from Ann Liddell in the early 1970s. She had about a dozen in her hall closet. Except for a copy that Cheryl Hayes inherited from Parsons, we know of no other copies in existance at the present time. Yet, the Mormon microfilm images seem to indicate that a bound book was used to produce the--get this!--400-page long all-family version and the roughly 250-page Andrew version. The other son editions are reported to me to be about the same size as the Andrew one. So I am asking this question. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY JTL/P BOUND COPIES OF THEIR BOOK, REGARDLESS OF THE VERSION??? We very much want to know where and how these went and where. We do not want access to your copy if you have one. Between our two hard copies and the microfilm, we have everything the authors produced as of 1958, and we will update these in coming years. --At present, we just want to know more about which versions were printed and where the finished bound copies went and if there is a large stock still piled up somewhere. We are NOT interested in learning about the location of microfilm copies. Your answer will be treated very privately. Please contact me at [email protected] if you have a copy or know for a certainty where a copy is and any information about it you can provide. I live in Carrollton Georgia just to give you an idea of my locale. Thank you very much. --James Wallace (Jim) Liddell

Hi Gary, Actually, not on the Liddels...I followed the Mckirdy line from Bute to Ulster to America. They married into some NY Liddells.

Alternately, maybe there were was a northern push of the persecution to the sea before they were forced to Ulster and they just happened to get to known the Northerners they would later marry while they we there. Well anyway, so much for wild speculation Dale David West

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Liddell,Liddle,Lydel & other variations Classification: Immigration Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YQw.2ACEB/173.1.1 Message Board Post: My Liddell line is through James Liddell (b1712) who we know was in the DE/MD area around 1750. We do not know when or how they came to the New World, but one possibility is that they came from Northern Ireland. Apparently many Scots and some English migrated to Northern Ireland in the 1600's and 1700's seeking better living conditions. In the early 1700's conditions in Ireland worsened and many of these "Scotch-Irish" migrated to the New World. There is an informative article on this at <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~mcclell2/homepage/migrate.htm> for those interested. This could explain losing track of some of our ancestors for awhile. If anyone has any information on Liddell's coming from Ireland, I would be interested in hearing about it. --Gary
