Hi Julie, I got your email Thursday Nov 10, so I am not too far behind. Away over the weekend without much access to the Internet. If anyone is reading this and sent me a request before that date that I haven't responded to, you may want to send it on again as apparently it didn't make it or I lost the post or something. I've been trying to respond in chrono order and deleting the email after replying but my system is far from perfect, I'm now learning. Muster Lists of Derry (1641/2) Thomas Parke Henry Finch's Foot Allen Parker Henry Osborne's Foot Robert Parkes Robert Thornton's Foot Robert Park Tristram Beresford's Foot Defenders of Derry (Young) - 1689, etc. Just Col. Parker Coleraine Deserted to the Jacobite camp on 25 April 1689 I had thought when seeing no Parks -- what happened to the Parks? Then I read about Col. Parker and had to laugh. I know to us now the difference between the two sides seems very clear but apparently it was more confusing to contemporaries as I have read that many did defect back and forth. Not only was this due to increasing religious bifurcations but also due to the difficulty of deciding which side really represented the rightful king. Supporting King WIlliam, an outsider invited in from Europe, meant you had to be able to convince yourself that it was okay to not support the crowned king, no matter how awful you might think he was. And also to believe that the supporters of King William had a chance of winning.
