Cumberland Completed Lookups / Re: Moffitt expert needed completed

I have a MOFFETT history back to 1720 in the ballybay area near monaghan ireland.  I think they were "planted in ulster" at the start of the 16th century, they might have been from the moffat area of the borders, but there were also moffitts from cumberland to ireland. Remember most people did not write and relied on a scribe to write for them so the spelling could easily be corrupted.

I have recently joined a class at Strathclyde to study geneaology and found your post.  I am Robert Moffett, and live in Paisley.  I have copy of a book "Ballybay Moffetts" published in 1908 which has a family tree from 1720 till 1900 and may contain your moffett link.  I am trying to link James Moffett 1720 with the Moffat town in Dumfries.  I think the family were "planted in Ulster" or were sent as troublemakers some time between 1600 and 1650.
