  • Ulster-Scots and the United States Presidents
    Ulster-Scots and the United States Presidents US and USA Presidents BK3 AW.indd 1 17/12/09 17:00:23 Ulster-Scots and the United States Presidents Ulster-Scots and the United States Presidents Seventeen of the 44 American Presidents are generally accepted as being of Ulster-Scots ancestry. Some have more direct Ulster links than others, but the connection to 18th and 19th century emigrants from the north of Ireland is tangible. ANDREW JACKSON Democrat 1829-37 This seventh American President and founder of the Democratic Party in the United States was born in a frontier log cabin in the Waxhaws region of North Carolina in March, 1767. His parents Andrew and Elizabeth Jackson left their home at Boneybefore near Carrickfergus, Co Antrim 18 months earlier, sailing from the port of Larne. The Jacksons had moved from Wigtonshire to Ulster in the 17th century Scottish Plantation. Andrew, who trained as a lawyer in North Carolina, helped draft the constitution for Tennessee, which set up as the 16th state of the Union in 1796. As an army general, he was the victorious United States commander at the Battle of New Orleans in January, 1815. He is widely considered by historians to be one of the foremost American Presidents. Like his parents, Jackson was a Presbyterian and his wife Rachel was also of Ulster lineage. JAMES KNOX POLK Democrat 1845-49 The 11th American President, James Knox Polk was born in 1795 near Charlotte in North Carolina. His Content supplied by B. Kennedy.

  • Ballynure Old Graveyard Stephen Bell & Richard T Wallace
    Ballynure Old Graveyard Stephen Bell & Richard T Wallace Ballynure Historical Group was formed in 1997 by Ballynure and District Community Association with the purpose of researching and preserving the village history. Part of the group's work has entailed the mapping and recording of the headstone inscriptions in the local graveyard with periodic updating. Members have also advised and worked with the local Council in various preservation, environmental and tourism projects associated with the graveyard. The latest project has culminated in the photographing and placing of the headstone inscriptions in a searchable database to facilitate those interested in genealogical research. We also record our thanks to the Ulster Historical Foundation for allowing us to include the data from the small number of headstones that are no longer visible in the graveyard. In the new map, the plot numbers go in bands from left to right and top to bottom but the grid lines are no longer present. An archaeological survey in connection with the recent A8 road bypass to the village has dated the site of the graveyard to Early Christian times. Little now remains of the old church that once stood within the graveyard next to which are the vaults of the landed gentry. One vault, with a steeply pitched stone roof, belongs to the Dobbs family, the earlier two are barrel vaulted, one belonging to the Dobbs family and the other to the Ellis family of Straid and Prospect. There is a corpse house at the entrance to the graveyard dating back to the days of the body snatchers.
