Hello Folks: I have been off this web site for some time and am now back with a little time on my hands. In the meantime I have found all of my ancestor settler's their graves and photographed them and have found many documents relating to them. I am stuck in Antrim, N.I. in 1709 but might have a clue to go further back. During this period I have been photographing all the early Presbyterian Churches of the Convenanters in Franklin Co., Pa., USA. Also I have translated and transcribed a deed from Lord Penn's sons to one of my ancestors and solved part of the mystrey of why they allowed him to pick and choose so much land on a apparent handshake around 1738. This land must have exceeded 100,000 acres as my ancestor families and other Ulsterscots came over before 1741 (a whole boat load of them) and settled on it. My lines are Crooks, Colby, Crunkleton, Dunwoodie, Moorehead, Wallace, Bearry, McClure, and McCrea.
