Skoosh,
Yep, seen the letters of Denization. James and John Shaw of Ballygally described as farmers (presumably sons of John Shaw and Elizabeth Brisbane), received denization on same date as well as several others living in that part of Antrim - see Patrick Tullus below.
The Shaws and Brisbanes must have been quite inbred as James Shaw married Isabella Brisbane, and their eldest son James married Elizabeth Brisbane his cousin (contract of marriage 1657 with the proviso he took the name and arms of Brisbane along with £20,000 scots money as dowry).
There is the possibility that the farmers James & John Shaw were not the sons of John & Elizabeth Brisbane, but related to those of Lethangie in Kinross and therefore cousins. There are records of Jean Shaw, daughter & heir of John Shaw of Lathangie married to Patrick Tullus of Corkermaine.
Patrick Tullus(clerk of Ramoan) received denization on the same date as the Ballygally Shaws, Corkermaine townland is contiguous to Ballygally.
Sorry, going slightly off topic.
