Hi Mavis, You should start with "Scotch-Irish" by Hanna, which contains critically important source material of the period that you are interested in: ie the Montgomery Papers as well as some other documentation regarding the settlement of Antrim. This is a book, found in most libraries, for sale in bookstores, on the Internet, and also on a CD. You can then turn to the back of the book for additional leads in the bibliography. I think!! I'm moving and all my materials are .... somewhere! on a moving van, or I'd do some checking for you. Certainly HAMILTON is a major name of reference in the settlement of County Down. The history of the settlement of every county in Ulster is different so if it is not Down you mean, you need to ID the county to help us steer you towards useful sources.
