Hi, I am researching the names Mathew SHANKS, born possibly in Carnmoney, Antrium Co., Ulster about 1740 or so, he married ? Wilson and they had a son James about 1761. His wife died before 1767 when Mathew and son James came to Charleston, S. Carolina, USA where they were given land. His son's uncle Robert Wilson lived in that area of S. Carolina and in Robert's will, James was listed as his nearest relative. They lived in Abbeville County. But have nothing on them prior to arriving in the USA, I have the boat they came over on. I find several Mathew Shanks in Lanark area in Scotland in that time frame and later. Any help greatly appreciated. Mary Widener
