Hi Forrest > "Immigration of the Irish Quakers into >Pennsylvania 1682-1750" by Albert Cook Myers This is a good book. It's now in Ancestry.com. One can also find a HUGE amount of Quaker info on the web. >Question Linda: I see the Geographical location called Ulster mentioned in >this group quite often. Ireland has been, since prehistoric times, divided into 4 or 5 provinces. Ulster is the one to the north. The counties were created by the Normans. Except in Ulster where some were not really created until the early 1600s by the English. Whatever! It comprises nine counties, only some of them in the country that has existed since the separation in 1922. http://www.irelandgenweb.com/county.html has more info. While researching the Hollingsworths for another >member of this list I came across this: >Henry Hollingsworth b: 1600 Armagn, Ireland (Ulster Plantation) That's Armagh, pronounced Armaaaaa. >Is this part of what you people are talking about? What is Ulster, where is >it located? (I told you I was pretty ignorant about Ireland!) It is in Ulster, the country of Northern Ireland. Armagh was the ecclesiastical center of Ireland. It was an English plantation, still noted for its apple trees and Navan Fort. http://jahtruth.co.uk/navan.htm http://www.countyarmagh.com/armagh_heritage_cathederal.htm Map here: http://www.irishtourist.com/details/navan_fort_and_centre.shtml Good luck with the Hollingsworth family!
