Family lore states his eldest son, James, inherited this (who passed it to his son who sold it and moved to Montreal Canada). Since my gggg grandfather's first son would inherit Kellygarvin, he bought a Manor House "Ballankelly" for his second son John Moffett (my ggg grandfather), and a Manor House "Ballangaven" for his third son Robert Moffett. Does anyone know anything about these "Manors" (also referred to as farmsteads)? Also, I can't find any birth or christening or other information for (can anyone help?): 1. My ggg grandfather, John Moffett (born Dec 10, 1729 in County Tyrone, died in 1788 in County Tyrone) who married abt 1763 to: 2. Elizabeth Fergus (or Forgee or other spelling) born Nov 15, 1744 in Scotland who immigrated to the U.S. probably between 1788-1805 where most of her children had immigrated. 3. They had 11 or 12 children between 1764-1785 including my gg grandfather William B. Moffett (born Feb 1 1783 in County Tyrone who immigrated to the U.S. abt 1805). Any assistance is appreciated.
