I was in Antrim last month with my son, looking for connections to my WISEMAN and DUNLAP/DUNLOP/DELAP (take your pick) ancestors in the Culleybackey/Ballywatermoy Townland area of County Antrim. My ancestor, Archie Wiseman, left B'moy in 1835 to join his brother James and to settle in Newburgh, NY, USA. A man from Ballymena, who is also a Wiseman family descendant from this area, toured us through church graveyards and over some of the acreage of B'moy which might have once been occupied by a possible direct ancestor (or a nephew or greatnephew of Archie's) named Patrick Wiseman, and showed us a picture of Patrick's which appears in a pamphlet printed by the equivalent of the Ballymena Historical Association. We still haven't determined the direct relationship, but my Ballymena "cousin" is convinced that it exists. I have also been searching for some time to learn more about Archie's and James' parents. I believe that their mother was named MARGARET DUNLAP (or, in possible vriant spellings, DUNLOP or DELAP), and that she married their father named Wiseman (first name unknown) in around 1800 somewhere in about 1800, in this immediate vicinity. I'd sure like to hear from someone who might have a connection to this Margaret, who could provide more information on her ancestry.
