Norris Families Residing in Maghera Parish, Derry County, Northern Ireland Between 1740-1859 Daniel E
Norris Families Residing in Maghera Parish, Derry County, Northern Ireland Between 1740-1859 Daniel E. Norris February 2007 Purpose: An overwhelming amount genealogical information exists for the Norris families emigrating from Derry County, Northern Ireland and settling in Western Pennsylvania. Well documented historical information pertaining to the six brothers of Robert Jr., Daniel, Adam, John, James and Henry Norris has been established. However, little is known about their father - Robert Norris Sr. Thus, the purpose of this research project is to discover additional information pertaining to the Robert Norris Sr. family and other Norris families who resided in Maghera Parish, Derry County, Northern Ireland between 1740 - 1859. Acknowledgments: This Norris family genealogical project, which began as a high school sociology class assignment in 1980, has been a work in progress for more than 25 years. I wish to thank Mr. William Riley, former Pine-Richland School District Teacher, Gibsonia, Pennsylvania (PA) for the introduction into genealogy. My grandparents, Joseph and Margaret Norris of Gibsonia, PA for providing me with much of the initial family information. Additional family researchers who have contributed information have included Dorothy (Dot) Voeckel of Tarentum, PA and Patricia Schnell, Tonasket, WA. Luck intervened as I was placed in contact with Richard Frew, a Derry County, Northern Ireland Genealogist, whose efforts made this project possible. His keen knowledge of historical documents, particularly church related records, and dedicated service produced or confirmed most of the following research. United States Documentation Pertaining to the Norris Family of Western Pennsylvania: 1 In order to progress further back into Norris family history, it was necessary to assemble as many “known” pieces of information as possible to be used as a basis. -

Excavating Cartographic Encounters in Plantation Ireland Through GIS
Mapping Worlds? Excavating Cartographic Encounters in Plantation Ireland through GIS Keith Lilley and Catherine Porter School of Geography, Archaeology and Palaeoecology Queen’s University Belfast ABSTRACT: This paper uses the analytical potential of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to explore processes of map production and circulation in early- seventeenth-century Ireland. The paper focuses on a group of historic maps attributed to Josias Bodley, which were commissioned in 1609 by the English Crown to assist in the Plantation of Ulster. Through GIS and digitizing map-features, and in particular by quantifying map-distortion, it is possible to examine how these maps were made, and by whom. Statistical analyses of spatial data derived from the GIS are shown to provide a methodological basis for “excavating” historical geographies of Plantation map-making. These techniques, when combined with contemporary written sources, reveal further insight on the “cartographic encounters” taking place between surveyors and map-makers working in Ireland in the early 1600s, opening up the “mapping worlds” which linked Ireland and Britain through the networks and embodied practices of Bodley and his map-makers. rom his lodging on the Strand in London in March 1610, Sir Thomas Ridgeway, the first earl of Londonderry, wrote a letter to the earl of Salisbury, Robert Cecil, then the lord treasurer Ffor England and the English Crown.1 Referring to maps “newly bound in six several books,” Ridgeway’s letter marked the end of a long enterprise, begun some eighteen months earlier, of surveying and mapping the Irish lands newly taken for plantation; the escheated counties of Ulster. -

The Londonderry Plantation from 1641 Until the Disengagement at the End of the Nineteenth Century Transcript
The Londonderry Plantation from 1641 until the Disengagement at the end of the Nineteenth Century Transcript Date: Wednesday, 23 October 2013 - 6:00PM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall 23 October 2013 The Londonderry Plantation from 1641 until the Disengagement at the end of the Nineteenth Century Professor James Stevens Curl It is an unfortunate fact that Irish history tends to be bedevilled by cherished beliefs rather than coolly informed by dispassionate examinations of facts: added to this distressing state of affairs, commentators on the eastern side of the Irish Sea seem to lose their senses when dealing with any aspects of Ireland whatsoever, or (and I do not hazard a view as to which is worse) ignore the place entirely, expunging it from the record. For example, if we take the Londonderry Plantation, misrepresentation and confusion are beyond belief: some pretend it never happened; some hold fast to absurd notions about it, even denouncing it as the source of all the so-called ‘Troubles’ ever since; some, secure in their fortresses of invincible ignorance, have never heard about it at all; and very few, from any background, seem able to grasp the truth that nothing occurs in a vacuum, for events in Ireland were always part of a much wider series of historical upheavals, almost invariably closely connected with uproar on the European Continent, especially power-struggles, and in the seventeenth century context, this should be glaringly obvious, even to the most myopic. Yet Anglocentric historians, even in recent times, completely miss the importance of the Londonderry Plantation in shaping events of the 1640s and 1650s in British history, or take the path, not of the myopic, but of the blind. -
