The 2 oldest sons - David & Samuel (my line) stayed in Ireland for a time before also going to NH. He and Margaret had 2 more children, Thomas & Margaret, in New Hampshire. I am trying to make the connection to Scotland and where this family originated and why they came to Ireland. They were a strong Protestant family and I assume that was one reason for leaving.

LAFAYETTE:
Looking for anything on Hugh Lafayette. Born around 1812, Ireland. Found enlistment documentation from 1847 when Hugh Lafitty enlisted into the U.S. Infantry in Kentucky. All records I’m finding list Ireland as his birth county and I came across Londonderry as township. His eye coloring was gray, dark hair with a ruddy complexion. I am thinking this is my great x3 grandfather. Hugh Lafayette shows up on the 1850 and 1860 census in Alabama, United States. Any help is greatly appreciated. Not sure if this is the correct place or not. I’m sure the name has been misspelled and broken down through the years to finally “Lafayette.” It does show up as “Lafayette” on the 1860 census.

McDEVITT/DEVER:
My great-great-great-great grandparents were Daniel McDevitt, a shoemaker and Catherine Dever. Their daughter, Sarah, was my g-g-g-grandmother. I know that Sarah and her siblings, as well as Catherine, her mother, came to the US probably mid 1800s and settled in Newark, New Jersey. The only reference I have so far to them being from Derry is from the Army Enlistment (Civil War) of her brother, William, where he noted he was born in Derry. I've also obtained a will for an Edward McDevitt (probably related somehow) who came to Newark as well, but went back to Ireland due to health reasons and died there. He mentioned his birth town as The Barracks, Prehen, Waterside. Sarah was born about 1826 and William about 1833. Other siblings: James b. abt 1820, Rosanna b. abt 1822, Dennis b. abt 1825, Daniel b. abt 1828, Ellen b. abt 1838. An Edward show up as a possibility, b. abt 1837.

By family history, the place was "Astraugh" but I have looked on various sites and do not find such a place listed. He was "converted to the M.E. church East" (would that be Methodist?) and at the age of 16, he started lay-preaching.
Sometime between 1828 and 1831 he left Ireland for America. He farmed and continued to preach, converting to the PM (Presbyterian?) religion at some point.
He lost 2 young sons (17 and 19) in our Civil War. We decorate his grave every year on Memorial Day and wonder aboout his (our) family history in Ireland. I hope someone ther can help with some information. Thanks so much!

PARKE:
I am attempting to research my Grandmother's family in Bovevagh, Co. Derry. Her name was Rebecca Parke, born: 1902. Immigrated to Canada: 1924. Death: 1977. I believe her Father was John Parke, Born: 1868 and that her Mother was Annie, Born: 1879. I have found record of 6 other siblings. John, Maggie, Henry Jas, William,
Saml Hunter and Elizabeth Jane. They are listed as Presbyterians and lived at house number 5 in Derryaflaw (Drum, Londonderry). It seems very very difficult to find any information from Ireland???
Thank you.

McMICHAEL/MITCHELL:
John Mitchel (as it was spelled in his marriage certificate) seems to have emigrated to England in the late 1840s. Aged 17, he appears in Cheltenham, Glos. in the 1851 census where the name is given as McMachil (he was lodging with an Irish family by the name of Beamish). By 1861 (and still in Cheltenham with the Beamish family)
the name is shown as McMicheal (sic). In 1862 John married Mary Ann Harris and they had four children that survived infancy. The marriage certificate gives his father's name as James Mitchel, a coachman. I have no other knowledge of his family and would love to be able to trace his roots in Derry.
Steve BRAIN
FORREST:
I would like to add the following names to the Derry registry: what I have learned of the family suggests that from 1740 or earlier they lived in the area defined by Limvady, Lissan, and Magherafelt until about 1760 when they emigrated to Nova Scotia, and any confirmation or contradiction of this would be very welcome and much appreciated:
James FORREST, who may have been father to David FORREST, b Ireland in 1709 and m. Rosannah (Logan), possibly a widow: place and date of marriage unknown.
Children of David And Rosanna:
Robert FORREST, b 1757, in Ireland;
David FORREST, Jr. b 1758 in Ireland, d. 12 August 1798 in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada
Mary FORREST, d. b. 1758, possibly a twin of Robert
Thomas FORREST, b. 1759 at Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia; d. 1840, at West Amherst, NS
Isaac FORREST, b. 13 March, 1762 at Amherst; d. 22 January 1792 at Amherst
Margaret FORREST, b 1763; d. 1838
The names David and James FORREST appear in a 1740 list of Protestant Freeholders in the Parish of Lissan, Barony of Loughinshillin.

HASTY/HAISTY/HASTING:
My family were the Hasty family from Kilrea. James Hasty had the pub in Bridge Street , which I believe still stands today. He was a publican there in or around 1847. James had a son William that migrated to Australia.
It is also my belief that James had another son Samuel that migrated to New Zealand and another Thomas that went to the USA . James wife was Elizabeth . In particular I am interested to know about the Hasty family in Kilrea.

MILLER/FORREST:
My mother's great-grandparents arrived near 1865 from the Limavady area. They were married in Drumsurn at Balteagh Parish, lived in Crindle and baptized their first three children at the Myroe Presbyterian Church. They were Robert Miller (son of Robert) and Catherine Forrest (daughter of James). Apparently, a number of Catherine's siblings also emigrated around the same time, most ending up
in Cumberland County, New Jersey, many working in the glass industry there.
Catherine Forrest was born in 1837, as was Robert Miller, according to their ages at marriage on 11 Nov 1858. Their children born in Derry Co.
were: Robert, James and Mary Ann (born 1864). The Forrest family of the area seems well researched, but I have made little headway on the Miller group. Would love to know more about them, whether the family remains in the area, etc.

CAIN:
Hoping to find exact origin of Patrick and Michael Cain. We know Patrick was born in 1741 in Derry City, Londonderry, Ireland. He emigrated to USA, probably with Rev. Martin's group of Presbyterians.
He was in Abbeville, District 96, SC and was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. He died in Kentucky. Michael was in Abbeville at the same time. ....brother, cousin?? We don't know. We would love to trace back to Ireland for parents.
There was also a Hugh Cain in PA and Oglethorpe, GA, late 1700s or early 1800s.
My maternal grandmother was a Cain (Lula). She and her twin were b. March 10, 1900 in Porter Springs, Lumpkin Co., GA. Her father was Francis Mitchell Cain b.Sept. 8, 1862, in Porter Springs, GA. The father of Francis was
Rev. Charles Cain, b. Aug. 29, 1831, Lumpkin Co., GA, The father of Charles was Benjamin Cain, b. Aug. 1793, Greenville, SC.

PATTERSON:
John & Mary Patterson sailed with children from the
Port at Derry July 14 1847 - J&J Cooke Ship Superior. The family's home
was Co. Londonderry, Barony Loughinsholin, Maghera Parish. Their
denomination was Church of Ireland (Anglican). Mary (?) died
onboard and John (born 1804) died in Grosse Ile hospital Oct 9 1847.
In 1848 these Patterson orphans, Samuel 12, William11, Mary 9,
were retrieved from the Kingston Orphanage by their father's brother and
taken to his farm in Innisfil Township, Simcoe County.
All 3 orphans married (Mary married McIndless) and
were Pioneer Settlers c1873 in Elderslie Township, Bruce County, Canada West.
Patterson is recognised as a name of Scandinavian
origin, either Denmark or Norway, probably introduced to Ulster in the
Medieval Period.
Ireland had a total of about 1200 Patterson Households c1840.
80% of all Patterson Households in Ireland c1840 were registered in Ulster
Province. This info may aid someone in their search.

MCELROY
grandfather, Wright McIlroy sailed from Londonderry in 1851
aboard
"The Envoy" for Quebec. His residence address was given as Limavady.
I believe it was his brother William who also hailed from Limavady
and
left Londonderry in 1847 aboard "The Leander". Apparently there
were others
from Limavady who sailed on the same ship. I do not know
their names as
yet.
My great- grandfather Wright MciIroy settled in Kingston, Canada
West. He gave his birth date as May, 1832 or 1833 although this could
be
inexact.
I do not know his parents' names but would appreciate any
related
information.

McMULLEN:
I would just
like to add the name of my g-g-g grandfather, Robert McMullen, to your
registry. All we know so far is that he came to Canada circa 1820 and
settled with his family just south of Ottawa, Ontario. He is buried in
Union Cemetery in what is now North Gower, Ontario and his cemetery record
states: "In memory of Robert McMullen, native of County Derry, Ireland,
who served fifteen years, nine months in His Majesty's 47th Reg't of Foot, died
Dec. 27, 1878, aged 100 years".
He and his wife
Elizabeth (a.k.a. Eliza), also from Ireland, raised at least five children
here: Robert McMullen, Mary McMullen, William McMullen, Adam McMullen and
John McMullen (my g-g grandfather). Needless to say, the family has grown
considerably. There were actually several distinct McMullen
families who settled here from various parts of Ireland at different times,
but so far we have been unable to establish any direct links between them.
I would very much appreciate any suggestions or help with respect to
tracing Robert McMullen's history in Ireland.
Thank
you!

His parents were Stewart Atkinson [b1854]and Susan
Laird. Stewart was a Clerk of Petty Sessions in
Derry. Stewart's parents were Stewart Atkinson and Letitia
Maxwell. William married Mary Martin Fallis Macfarlane in Sydney Australia
on 20th Sept. 1921. Their only child William Stuart was my

Atkinson-Stuart-Maxwell and was erected by
a William Stuart Atkinson in memory of his parents William[1849-1924

Hi Don
Thanks for e/m me back.I am researching my

Worcester, MA
m.Elizabeth Thompson b.1713
d.1766.
The family then relocated Barre ,MA(1760's)

BADGER:
Nathaniel BADGER born in Derry ca. 1799. Father was
supposedly William. Nathaniel had 13 children and two wives. He
lived in Ballyeglish, or close by, for most of his married
life. Nathaniel, his second wife-Sarah CLARKE, and all but one of his
children came to America in the 1850's. James BADGER (the only one to stay
in Ireland), son of Nathaniel, b. about 1834 in Derry, married first Eliza
Hogg, married second Sarah HAMILTON and they had 10 children. They
settled in Tamlaghtmore, Arboe parish, Tyrone (Sarah's home). My
dilemma is finding any information on Nathaniel prior to baptism
records for his children-anything previous to 1830.

TURNER:
Looking on www.rootsweb.com (Ireland Geneaology Projects for County Londonderry, N. Ireland) I find
there are no entries for TURNER on the Derry Surname Registry. I wondered if you
wished to add some information for my family?
My great grandfather John TURNER
b.1833 (father Thomas Turner) came to Ireland some short time prior to 1858
(precise date not known), with his wife Mary (nee ALLEN). They settled in or
near Londonderry and had 8 children; all but one of them born in Northern
Ireland.
The first child, Frederick (M) was
born 1858 and the birth registered in Ireland (?Londonderry)
The 2nd child,
Alfred (M) was born 1860 dittoe
above.
For the birth of their 3rd child
William A., (M) his mother (Mary) returned to Salford,
England.
The 4th child, Everett R.
(M) was born 1864 and the birth registered as in Ireland - dittoe as
Frederick.
The 5th child, Walter
Albert (M) was born 1 Nov 1864 and the birth registered in
the City of Derry
The 6th child,
Charles (M) was born 31 Oct 1867
dittoe as Walter Albert.The 7th child, Agnes Ethel
(D) was born 13 Oct 1968 dittoe as Walter Albert.
The 8th child (my grandfather), Henry
Herbert (M) was born 2 Sept 1871 dittoe as Walter Albert.
The whole family, with the exception of the
father (John) and their 6th child (Charles) returned to Manchester, Lancashire,
England sometime between 1873 and 1881 (They appear on the 1881 census as living
in Manchester). I have no idea what happened to John (father) or Charles but
hope to come to Londonderry next year to see if I can trace where they lived (in
or near Londonderry) and what happened to the two who stayed. If you
can suggest a place to start in Londonderry I would be most grateful.
