Taylor & Skinner 1777 maps shows the Vow Ferry clearly. Cross Ferry (pre-Bann Bridge) is also shown.

Dear Aghadowey,

Do you happen to have any additional information regarding Vow Ferry? I live very close to the suspected crossing point on the Antrim side. No information easily available apart from the map you kindly shared.

It was not unknown for children in Ireland to be given the name of an outstanding, in the parents view local. 

I have a couple that I have found in my family that are not linked by family connections. One was named for the vicar. 

I am wondering if there was a Presbyterian clergyman around at the time that was admired called Dunne?
