Dr. Francis Alison
Dr. Francis Alison, of Donegal, came to Pennsylvania in 1735 and settled at New London, Chester County, where he opened a school. At its establishment, there was a great desire for learning in the Middle Colonies, and Doctor Alison is said to have instructed all who came to him without fee or reward. Dr. Patrick Allison, born in Lancaster County in 1740, is thought to have been a relative of the Donegal schoolmaster. He held a place "in the very first rank of the American clergy and had scarcely an equal for his eloquence." "Francis Alison was born in Ireland and graduated from the University of Glasgow. Upon his arrival in America, he was a tutor for a time in the family of the father of John Dickinson. His first attendance at the Synod of Philadelphia was in A. D. 1737.

Does anyone have experience applying for military record from the Home Guards? My Grandad was in the Irish Guards in the 50s and I wanted to find out more - they've found a record for his initials and last name but the birth date is 10 days before his, so 7 instead of 17.
I'm (Im)patiently waiting for news on the records.
If they don't have record of him does this mean he wasn't actually in the guards?
Mark ThompsonI got a call from a distant cousin today whose family stayed in the community that our #IrishAncestors emigrated to in the early 1800's.
She found a cousin that can help with some #Genealogy research that has stymied me for several years. Wish me #familyhistory #luckOTheIrish that the #brickwall falls!
