Arthur: I am sure that somehow we are then related as Ballyworkan is a very small place. Did you know that in Ballyworkan there is a rural road called Harcourt's Hill upon which my gg grandfather lived? I took a picture of it and the abandoned house when I visited there in 2002.
My gg paternal grandmother was Martha Gibson, born around 1832 and perhaps we could speculate was a sister to Jane? She married Thomas Pentland and their children were Maggie Anne, John, Elizabeth Mary, Jane, Martha and Jeremiah.
Jeremiah Pentland was my gg, born in 1863, and who also lived and raised his family in Ballyworkan just down the road from Thomas. Many of the Pentlands were buried in Drumcree or Seagoe Church cemetaries, but I regret not making time to see, or bumping into, any Gibson graves. I am trying to piece together 'where' the families were in proximity to each other in order through various online records. I found that there was another spelling for Ballyworkan, like many places, but this was well before the Battle of the Boyne. After the process of elimination using the Pender's Census of Ireland from 1659, I believe the spelling was then Bollymurhan in the Oneyland Cones. According to this census, there were (but likely not including servants) 20 people on the 'land' of Bollymurhan, 10 being English or Scotts and 10 being Irish. The tituladoe named was Mr Amlett OBoyns.
