Are Sir John McCall and his sons of Belfast listed? I have Lamock McColl and Allyn McCall listed in Muster Roll of Donegal in 1630 AD serving under Sir John Kingsmell (undertaker of 2270 acres)

ists of names (with some details) from two sources. These are the muster roll
f Garrison in the City of Londonderry from 1642-43. This resides in PRONI as
808/15176, from the National Archives in London, State Papers, Domestic,
ommonwealth Exchequer Papers, bundles 120 and 121). The second is from "The
ighters of Derry Their Deeds and Descendants..." by William Young, published in
932. It covers the period 1688-1691. It also names those of the Enniskillen
ampaign as well as the harrying of Jacobite forces in Connaught and Ulster by
ocally raised regiments out of Enniskillen, Battle of the Boyne, Battle of
ughrim, and the final Irish surrender 23 Sept. 1691. It includes the list of
21 people declared traitors by James' II's parliament in Dublin in 1689.

one and I remember, you'll need to check the archives. Thus you'll learn how to
o this and I'll feel less like I'm in some kind of endless lookup hell <grin>.
hen this happens I get grouchy and quit.

- we love this. The archives are full of the results. If you haven't checked
he archives for lookups of your surname, wow, are you messing up <grin>. By
decent' I mean please don't share your coffee table books or the stuff that
ometimes get published for what reason I donno...I think to recruit cannon
odder for the armies (chest swelling, sources stuff about brave Scotch Irish
oldiers, settlers, etc.). Primarily we want stuff that'll help us find our
ncestors. Not books that are dead ends.

xcluded from paying taxes. I believe this ended with the Revolution. Anyone
now?
