Hi all,

Does anyone have any information on GEORGE DOWNING, Comptroller of Customs for The Irish Society. 
He was likely born about 1640 (give or take 5 years), and may have been the son of George Downing of Ballykelly, but then migrated to Maghera.

We suspect he may have married a JANE MONTGOMERY, dau. of Maj. Hugh Montgomery of Maghera, in or about the year 1665, and that these were the parents of the illustrious Col. Adam Downing of Rocktown.

Looking for proof of the Downing/Montgomery marriage and birth records of ANY of their children, or a Will that mentions his children.

I have much data to share with interested parties.

Thank you for reading,
Rick T
