Several members of the Kerr family are buried at Aghadowey Churchyard, County Londonderry.  Perhaps they connect?

Thanks.  A Rev. Hercules Heyland, of Ballintemple, County Londonderry, was a magistrate in 1836.  And a Rev. Rowley Heyland, of Dublin, was one too.

Captain William Graves, of Gravesend, County Londonderry, married Catherine (Paterson) Heyland, widow of Captain Hercules John Heyland.  She died in 1886 and was buried at Castledawson, Co. Londonderry.  Capt. Hercules John Heyland was the son of Rowley Heyland.

Thanks.  I have some notes on the colony of immigrants from Ulster that settled on the Minnesota/Dakotah Territory border after the Civil War.  I think Charles Canning was the son of Henry Canning (buried in the Bannagher C of I churchyard in the late 18th c.).   I'll look for my notes and comment further.  Charles Canning imported into Minnesota the first Thoroughbred racehorse, Lord Salisbury.

The original settlement on the Red River of the North, and now known as Hendrum, Minnesota, was originally called Canning's Landing, and was a stop on the steamboat line (before the arrival of the railroad).  Charles Canning, born in Banagher, co. Londonderry, was one of the original settlers.
