References:

The Greene Co, PA Clevengers go back to Edward Clevenger who was a glass

blower. I think that he was born ca 1797 VA. AS I remember this line is

well treated in George's book.

Scotch Irish Pioneers in Ulster and America Book by Charles Knowles Bolton, EthelStanwood Bolton; Bacon and Brown, 1910.A southern stronghold of Presbyterianism was

in the neighborhood of Newcastle, Delaware. The

narrow tongue of land between the upper shore of

Chesapeake Bay and the Delaware River is shared

by Maryland and Delaware. Maryland's portion

includes the Elk River and is known as Cecil

County. Delaware's portion is called Newcastle

County, with Wilmington, its chief city, at the mouth

of Christiana Creek. North of these two counties

and across the Pennsylvania line are Lancaster and

Chester counties (all known as Chester County from1682 to 1729), extending from the Delaware River

to the Susquehanna River. This territory, south a

few miles from Philadelphia, became the mecca for

Scotch emigrants from Ireland. These emigrants

pushed up through Newcastle County to cross the

Pennsylvania line, hoping to escape from Maryland

and its tithes. 1Unfortunately at this very time the

exact line of the boundary was in dispute between

Lord Baltimore and the heirs of William Penn, and ____________________1PennsylvaniaMagazine of History, January, 1901, p. 497. -267- many of the settlers flocked in and premptedland

in dispute, without obtaining right or title. To add

to the confusion the Penn family were in a state of

domestic discord, so that their agent James Logan

allowed very few grants in any place after the year

1720. An exception was made however in the case

of the Scotch Irish, people who, said Logan, "if

kindly used, will I believe be orderly, as they have

hitherto been, and easily dealt with; they will also,I expect, be a leading example to others." These

grants were made for a settlement which was called

Donegal. 1At this early period when the business of sending

"runners" into the rural communities in Ireland to

stimulate emigration 2had not begun, we must not ex-

pect to find any noticeable increase in the number

of ships entering the Atlantic ports. At Boston

trading vessels from Dublin were not infrequent

visitors, but aside from servants their passengers

were few. At Charleston the number of ships en-

tering the port scarcely varied between the years

1714 and 1724, except for a falling off when thepirates injured commerce in 1717-18, and a tempo-

rary increase in 1719. Few Scotch Irish came to New York in the early

part of the eighteenth century because the Governor

of New York and New Jersey, Lord Cornbury, dealt ____________________1PennsylvaniaMagazine of History, Vol. 21, p. 495. 2Ibid, p. 485. -268- harshly with dissenters. The Rev.Francis Mak-

emie and the Rev. John Hampton visited the city

on a missionary tour to New England in January,

1706-7. Makemie was refused permission to

preach in the Dutch Church, but conducted a service

openly at the home of William Jackson in. Pearl

Street on Sunday, the 19th. He was arrested andthrown into prison for preaching without a license.

Makemie petitioned for a speedy trial, but the legalproceedings were permitted to drag on until the

seventh of June when a verdict of not guilty was

brought in. The financial burden of imprisonment

and trial, amounting to more than eighty three

pounds, fell entirely upon Makemie, although he is

known to have had firm friends in New York. His

sureties John Johnstone, gentleman, and William

Jackson, cordwainer, both recorded in 1703 as resi-

dents of the South ward, no doubt had listened to

this famous sermon; and we know of four others

who were present: Captain John Theobalds, John

Vanhorne, Anthony Young and one Harris, LordCornbury's coachman. 1The Governor, soon after

the trial, was removed from office and imprisoned

for debt. Late in 1718 theNews-Letterfurnishes

evidence of the arrival of passengers from Irelandat the port of New York. 2Whether Celts or Scots ____________________1 For a list of

sengers November 10, 1718. -269- we have as yet no information. But in forty years

we find the Scotch Irish in New York to be wealthy

and of great political influence.Philadelphia seems to have had a considerable im-

migration from Dublin, Belfast and Glasgow fromthe time of the arrival of the first Quakers in 1682.

What are we to think of over seventy passengers

from Waterford, Ireland, who arrived in the ship

Cezer, Matthew, Cowman, commander, in July,

1716, 1or of fifty passengers from Cork in March

1718? Again, of what character were the one hundred

and fifty passengers which the Elizabeth and Mar-

garet, after a voyage of twelve weeks from Dublin,

left at Philadelphia in August, 1718? Were these

people Presbyterian Scotch Irish? A few may nodoubt have claimed their faith and their blood, but I

cannot but believe that up to the year 1719 most ofthe passengers were English and Celtic servants

and mechanics, with a number of prosperous Scotch

and English Quakers. Very few Ulster weavers

and farmers came to the South until word reached

Ireland late in 1718 that Boyd, the Bann Valley en-

voy, had found serious difficulty in obtaining land in

New England for settlement. In 1719 hundreds of

Scotch Irish immigrants turned to lands in Chester County and to the fields south of the

Pennsylvania

line for their homes. 1The Scotch Irish migration of Presbyterians to

Chester County 2began in 1719 and thus came long

after the English-Irish migration of Quakers which

had begun in 1682. These Presbyterians became ofsufficient influence in Chester County in 1722 to ob-

tain the name Donegal for their township. Chiefamong them at this time were: James Galbraith, Senior, and his sons Andrew,

James and John Robert Wilkins and his sons Thomas, William,

Peter and John Gordon Howard and his sons Thomas and Joseph George Stuart and his son John

Peter Allen James Roddy James and Alexander Hutchinson John and Robert Spear Hugh,

Henry, and Moses White Robert McFarland and his sons Robert and

James James Paterson Richard Allison ____________________1 The curious reader may be
