Of interest is the note book / account book of
Rev. Andrew Rowan, Dunaghy, co Antrim, Ireland, 1672-1680.
He was appointed Rector 1661 and died 1717.
He may be noted in Adair files D929/HA12/F4/1/19.
30 June 1638. Note addressed to Rev. Andrew Rowan
at the Clogh (Clough / Oldstone) containing news from London concerning trial of bishops.
(My ancestor was Bishop Archibald Adair).
There may have been a Houston "Ruling Elder"
of Clough Church who signed a "Boyd" petition c.1717-1718
about America, who may have been related to these Adairs.

Mr. Rowan’s father or g-father may have been Rev. Andrew Rowan from Clogh / Clough / Old Stone,

Did any Houstons and Adairs from / near Dunaghy emigrate with any of the Rowan family ?
