I have just learned that Moses Starr and Deborah King, from Old Castle, Ireland, are my ancesters, They arrived in Philadelphia in 1717 and were two of the first Quaker settlers here. I am curious about anything and everything regarding them. I do plan on visiting Ireland at some time (have been there once and loved it!) and will definitely make a trip to Old Castle while I am there. Thank you for whatever anyone can provide me with in the way of family history, professions, any stories at all. I am curious about if they emmigrated because of the famine or religious persecution as well. Thanks in advance! Deborah Armstrong
