Also, this site: http://ifhf.rootsireland.ie/search.php lists Church Baptism records for a Jane Masaroon in Derry in 1722 and a John Masaroon in 1724.  Obviously, these are brother and sister.  But I can't see the record - I have to pay money to get 50 credits to see and I'm not that desparate yet.  Can anyone else get access to those records?  I was thinking that the timing would be right for this John Masaroon to be the father of the William, Edward and James Masaroon brothers.

So I'm trying to connect the Missroon family to the Masaroons.  I know that James Missroon, born 1772 in Londonderry, immigrated to Charleston, South Carolina right around the end of the 18th Cy.  I have no information on his family in Derry.  I have no information if and when the spelling of the last name changed.  Maybe it didn't, but that seems like a big coincidence to have Masaroons in Derry at the same time.

Lainie, on another site you mentioned a history or notes written by Robert Garndiner Masaroon.  You said that Rev Robt Masaroon was the son of William and Sarah Masaroon and that William had brothers Edward and James. 

I would love to research two ideas:
1)  There is a William Henry Missroon who died in Charleston.  He does not appear to be a descendent of the James Missroon who was born in 1772 - the dates and ages don't work out according to a document listing out his estate.  Could this William Masaroon have come over to the States after the death of his wife?  (I don't see why he would have unless his son the Rev Robt was moving around too much to care for him.) 

2) Is this James Masaroon MY James Missroon?  I kinda doubt it because I think you may trace your ancestry back to him and you're on the other side of the world from me.  But let's see...
