Good to hear from you Bobby. There is a JOHN MARSON recorded in the c1630 muster roll Co Londonderry on Sir Robert Macclelan’s estate [Haberdashers’ Company] Ballykelly, Tamlaght Finlagan parish; would he be of the original Plantation family of Morrisons? Another possible example of phonetic spelling?

Family tradition says that the Robert Morrison one of the 13 to shut the gates at the famous siege of Derry was from this family (oral tradition). The Registry of Deeds is perhaps the only archive in Ireland to escape unscathed over the years and the records are intact from 1708. A must for eighteenth century research. https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/sites/default/files/publications/Your-family-tree-series-information-leaflet-17-Registry-of-Deeds-Dublin.pdf Kindest regards Bobby Forrest _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList Mailing List Mailing List Email Address: CoTyroneList@cotyroneireland.com Change Your Preferences: http://cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com Mailing List Archive: https://goo.gl/mQCKrY _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList Mailing List Mailing List Email Address: CoTyroneList@cotyroneireland.com Change Your Preferences: http://cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com Mailing List Archive: https://goo.gl/mQCKrY
