Research Notes

They may have been returning from Barbados (as noted in some online trees) when William died aboard his ship at Carrickfergus. https://archive.org/details/captainwilliamcr00cris/page/111/mode/2up

This family named one of their boys William for 5 generations! I have no idea what nick names they used to keep everyone straight, but I was having very hard time so I made up the I, II -V suffixes to keep my sanity. [Wink] I haven't entered William V into WikiTree.
