Hi Joe, actually it is from that book. I am busy and cannot promise you that I will find the time to research this for you. Perhaps try again. Google books is not likely to be useful for searching a book that is in copyright. The traditional way -- reading the book -- or using the index may help and if I get some time, I will try the index.

Do have the page reference or even the exact phrase? I have the book and have searched it several times but can't find this quote. I even tried using Google books to search it then reading the paper pages for the ones Google isn't displaying and still no luck.

Joe and Linda, I happened to be online as Linda's reply came in. I've just looked quickly at the County Donegal listings in the Index of Irish Immigrants. I didn't see the specific phrase. Of the two references that caught my eye, the following (p. 107) seems a possible reference: "By at least the 1720s the fertile parishes of east Donegal,...were a major source of Presbyterian emigration that continued and perhaps accelerated after the American Revolution."
