There was also a sizable number (several hundred) of Scotch-Irish, mostly from the Lifford area, who emigrated to Maryland in the 1680's. Specific ships and arrival dates are hard to come by, but I have one reference which documents an individual named Homer Granahan who arrived to Maryland in 1685 on the Mountjoy, a ship later famous for its role in relieving the siege of Londonderry. Granahan was indentured for two years to John Wallis/Wallace of Somerset County MD who died in 1685, and mentioned Granahan in his will as an arrival on the Mountjoy.
