Thanks for that Paul,  look pretty convincing that he could be the one

(although it would still be good to confirm this) viz the publication!

"The measure was received in England as a triumph over the king and the Irish. The subscribers, or Adventurers as they were called, were to
have estates and manors of one thousand acres given to them in Ireland at the following low rates: In Ulster for 200 pounds, in Connaught
for 300, in Munster, for 100, and in Leinster for 600, and lands proportionately for less sums."

may be going down the wrong route with my William Ballard from galway (quest)

was just considering a search at  http://www.ajmorris.com/dig/toc/titlres.htm

Hi, Adrian,
 
Unfortunately, BALLARD is not listed in O'Laughlin's "Families of County Galway." 
 
I did check MacLysaght's "The Surnames of Ireland", which listed Ballard, but said "see Bollard".  According to LacLysaght, Bollard is "Of Dutch Origin, this name came to Ireland in the early seventeenth century, and soon became prominent in the commercial life of Dublin.  The quite distinct Norman name Ballard (Middle-English bald head) goes back to early mediaeval times."

also a link to Beliard name   http://www.celticcousins.net/ireland/huguenotfreemen.htm

http://ballard.rootschat.net/records/places/england/counties/somersetshire/taunton/taunton.htm

The Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland

Has anyone other than me been able to link a Cromwellian Adventurer through to current times?  Once I found this link I was able to work it back and now have my family coming from Staffordshire before they invested in the Adventurer scheme.

Brilliant link - thank you, suemccall.  Unfortunately, none of my lot were Adventurers.  I suspect at least some of them were Royalists.
