@AnimarchyYT Might it be that there might be something happening in the Londonderry area that made an Irish family flee as far away from English control as they could?
And maybe that influenced their decisions in the later 18th century.
@AnimarchyYT And allow me to throw a spanner into this mess. My family (at least, the ones I share a family name with) immigrated to western Virginia in the early 18th century from the north of Ireland.
@AnimarchyYT Well yeah, one is a Colonel-turned-traitor with a win/loss ratio that would make a Rhodesian blush and the other is a General of the Armies of the United States.
