Interesting mention by Dave as our Boak line included Presby. Covenanters with one of their sons named Orange Boak (1867-1947). Likewise his cousin by marriage also had the given name Orange (Orange Emery (1866-1945)). Their families were settlers in western PA and attended a Covenanter church. Always thought it unusual to be so up-front with their politics by naming their children this way. Or might there be another reason for naming one's son 'Orange'? -Sandy -----Original Message----- From: "dm60--- via CoTyroneList" [[email protected]] Date: 04/01/2024 08:52 AM To: "CoTyroneIreland.com Mailing List" <[email protected]> CC: "Chris Owen" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] Re: New Content - Masonic Lodge No. 994, Gortin, Bodoney Lower Parish, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland: List of Membership 1809-34
Hi Chris I don't know enough to answer this question, so look forward to hearing from others. But I'm thinking of one kinsman ca. 1800 - 1830, definitely Presbyterian, maybe even Covenanter. He was not a land owner, at best a lessee (found a lease to his son at PRONI). He was a lodgemaster for the Masons, also for an Orange lodge -- yet "despite all this", got himself severely and publicly whipped for being a "United Irishman" ca. 1798 and not kowtowing to the authorities of the day! And this family branch includes RC today .... lovely folks. We really have intertwined roots. Or as the Scots might say, "we're all Jock Tamson's bairns"!

Having grown up in an RC household I thought the Masons were not part of the RC culture. Is that the case in 19C Ireland as well? Were Masons the landholders as opposed to the lease holders or Bog Irish as my family were known to describe ourselves?
