That sounds great! Wish I had that much detail. So far I've been able to trace back to James King (very generic name IOW lots of James out there). He and his family came to the colonies in 1750. One of his sons, George (my direct ancestor) fought against the British during the Revolutionary War. When James arrived in New Jersey, he helped found the First Presbyterian Church in Succasunna, New Jersey. The church records only list him as being from "the North of Ireland".
Near as we can figure, his family was part of King James' transplantation from Scotland to Ireland in the 1600's. Unfortunately, we can't find any info (ie birth, marriage, christening) from Northern Ireland. The only place I can think to look is the PRONI, but they don't have anything online. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. (eyes)
