Alice, I noticed your surnames here and wondered if you could be connected
to me....my Joseph Morrison, born Derry in 1816, married Nancy WARK, born in
Derry 1817. I know nothing about Nancy's family. I do know about Joseph's
family.

Also, my ERWIN family lived and worked near Limavady, supposedly on the
McCaulsland Estate and immigrated to New York in 1837. This family settled
in Michigan. Matthew ERWIN was born in 1766 in Coleraine. You may have seen
messages from Linda Cooper on this list regarding this family. Perhaps
there is some connection to Elizabeth, as we know the Erwin/Irwin name is
interchangeable.

Let me know what you think about the Warks.
