Gilby, it looks as though many of the descendants that you mentioned are buried in the Billy Cemetery.

There are so many connections:  Richard Lloyd, linendraper of Coleraine, was married to Mildred Cuppage, dau of John Cuppage and Mary Macaulay, thus a grandniece of Ealse Macaulay.

Alexander Dunlop, c. 1855-1882, son of Dr. John Dunlop and Jane Stewart, dau of William Stewart and Harriet Stewart-Moore, was married to Minnie Given, dau of Robert Given, merchant.

And I agree that Thomas Dawson and Dorothea Stewart's marriage in 1791 was on the late side.
Do you think that there is an error in regards as to what James she was a daughter of?  The date of her marriage would indicate that she was the daughter of the second James.

I am a wee bit confused about the will of Robert Ferguson, though, as to why he called Dorothea and Bell Stewart his sisters and James Stewart his brother.

I am still digging for information, but as of yet, I haven't been able to find anything of interest.

Gilby, I would imagine that they are somehow related, but the how is an obstacle.  So far, I have been unable to find any additional information on the mysterious James or Robert.

Many thanks, Kiltaglassan.  Most of my information came from two distant cousins, one of whom came to Japan to visit me from England.  She and her husband occasionally go to Galway for family events as the descendants of Tom and Bridget still reside on the same farm.
