an Ulster Scotsman who was ordained in Ireland, and settled over the 
Presbyterian Church in Boston (whose meeting house was in Federal 
Street) from March, 1730, until December 2, 1773, when he died. 
In the old Burying Ground at Folly Village we find of settlers 
in Londonderry born before 1761, the graves of: Robert Dill, born in 
Donegal, Ireland, in 1740, and his wife Jane Denny, born in the same 
place in 1753; Robert Faulkner, born in 1733; James Flemming, born 
in Londonderry, Ireland, in 1741, the “first English settler at Folly,” 
and his wife Isabella, born in 1750; Thomas Fletcher, born in Ireland 
in 1738, and his wife Jane Vance, born in Ireland in 1753; William 
Fletcher, born in 1725, and his wife (probably), Elenor, born 1740; 
William Martin, born in 1741, and his wife Ann, born in 1745; Robert 
McElhinney, born in 1747, and his wife Hannah, born in 1758; William 
McKim, born in 1735, and his wife Margaret, born in 1755; John 
McNutt, born in 1747, and his wife Ann, born in 1750; John Morrison, 
Esq., born (in New Hampshire) in 1726, and his wife Martha, born in 
1732; Thomas Morrison, born in 1716, and his wife Rebecca Simpson, 
born in 1723; Laurence Peppard, born in Ireland in 1735; Rev. David 
Smith, born in 1732; David Vance, born in Ireland in 1748, and his 
wife Jane (Hill), born in Ireland in 1755. 
The North of Ireland settlers under MeNutt who went from Halifax 
to Windsor and located in Hants and King’s Counties, undoubtedly 
made their way along the old French road chiefly on foot. How the 
greater part of the Londonderry settlers reached their destination we 
can only surmise. It seems hardly likely that they sailed round the 
southern part of Nova Scotia into the Bay of Fundy and so to the 
Londonderry shore; but if not, they must either have gone on foot 
along the trail from Halifax to Truro, and so down to Londonderry, or 
else have gone to Windsor and taken boats down the Avon river and 
into Cobequid Bay. This latter route it seems certain some of them, 
at least, did take, for a few who finally settled in Colchester are known 
to have staid a short time at Windsor before going there. 
The following census of Londonderry in 1770, like the correspond- 
ing censuses of Onslow and Truro found in manuscript among the 
papers of the late Mr. Longworth, is important as giving us a probably 
exact account of the population of the township nine years after its 
settlement. The names it contains, for convenience’ sake we have 
taken out of the original order and arranged alphabetically. The 
census is said to have been made by Mr. James Fulton.
