While doing some other work I found this quotation:- "> Viewing records 141-150 of 219 > Vital Records, Tennessee, 1750-1890 > > By ETHEL BENEDICT J. LYTLE (MRS. RICHARD R.), MOORES MILLS, NEW YORK > page 348 > In speaking of the emigration to this country of the Lytles, it is > interesting to note the reasons for their coming from Ireland, and the > cause of their presence there. Large colonies of Scotch-Irish > Presbyterians left Ireland in 1718, '20, '26, and '37 and landed in New > Castle, Delaware, with Penn, and settled in Lancaster County, Pa. > Donegal Springs Church was the first church organized by the > Scotch-Irish in Lancaster County in 1720. Rev. Adam Boyd, the first > secretary of the North Carolina Society of the Cincinnati, was also > pastor of Pequa Church, second oldest church, organized in 1722, > Salisbury Township, Lancaster County, Pa. No doubt Capt. William Lytle > was born here, as he and Adam Boyd were fellow members of the North > Carolina Society at the same time in 1783. In 1755, the year he was born > in Pennsylvania, large numbers moved to North Carolina; among them, Adam > Boyd and the Lytles. They disseminated on all occasions their views of > the relation between civil magistrates and the church, their hatred of > oppression and of England. They quickly displayed an aptitude for > settlement, for public office, and for fighting when it was necessary. > They were the most important formative influences in Colonial Society > and life and antagonistic to the British Government. After the > Revolution of 1688 in England, Scotch migration set in strongly for > Ulster, North Ireland, over 50,000. Under James I six counties in Ulster > escheated to the crown, and were settled by Scotch Presbyterians. Hence > the Lytles in Ulster. Persecuted under Queen Anne, 1700-1714, both in > religious matters and in trade, they refused to submit to oppression and > began their exodus to the land of freedom." The Penn Migration of 1718, '20, '26, and '37, does any one know if there are any "records" available in either Ireland or America? The type of records are:- ships name passenger lists; Ports left form and ports arrived; or any other records of these migrations that may help identify individual families.
