Scot-Irish.....

Post by Ferris Randall » Mon Jan 09, 2006 2:47 am

How do I find out more about the Scot's that went to Ireland? My Faris ancestors apparently did that, then to America About 1780. William Faris b. Ireland 1765, went to America with brothers, John. and Thomas. William married Elinor Watson, in America 1789, in a Presbyterian Church
