Rick, My guess is that they could have been part of the plantation of
Ulster in the 17thC. I suspect(based on my surname) that my ancestors
may have been part of that event too but have not been able to find any
records of who arrived from where and when. Any help (thanks Len S. for
your earlier help) would be appreciated. Gordon

My Morrison ancestors occupied a farm in the Loughterush townland (Kilskeery
Parish) from at least the mid 1700s until 1970 when the last Morrison on the
farm passed away (he was a bachelor), and the farm was sold at public auction.
The earliest ancestor I have found records for was Edward Morrison, and the
earliest reference to Loughterush was with the birth of a daughter of his in
1781.
My question is: Is there a way to find out when the Morrisons first came to
occupy the farm in Loughterush?
Thank you for any help on this.
