Timeline:

1607.  "Flight of Earls" from Ireland to France to raise money for a rebellion against
	English rule, according to multiple history sources.
1610.  Beginning of the major Plantation of Ulster, per history sources.  Lands were
	granted to mostly English and Scots Undertakers who were to "undertake" settling
	English settlers on the land, but few English 	responded.  Most settlers were Scots
	from the lowlands that bordered England, and some Irish tenants remained
	because of the lack of 	English settlers.
1610.  Agnes Verner or Vernor of Edinburgh, Scotland was the first person of that
	surname in the records of Ulster.  Ref:  Verner Families quotes the book
	Complete Baronetage; years 1600-1649 as saying that Agnes Verner (or Vernor)
	of Edinburgh, Scotland married Sir Archibald Acheson of Edinburgh, Scotland,
	and they settled in County Armagh in 1610.  (Sir Archibald's brother Henry
	Acheson was granted land in Fews Barony, County Armagh, and then bought
	more land from another undertaker Sir James Douglas.  Agnes died within 7-8
	years after arriving in Ireland.  Sir Archibald remarried in 1619 and died in 1634.
	By 1619 the land that had belonged to Sir James had passed to Sir Archibald.)
1630s.  Scottish migration to Ireland waned for a decade.  In the 1630s King Charles I of
	England forced the Prayer Book of the Church of England (Anglicans) on the
	Church of Ireland, compelling the Presbyterian Scots to change their form of
	worship.  Many Scots went back to Scotland.  In 1638 an oath, "The Black Oath",
	was imposed on the Ulster Scots to prevent them from taking up arms against the
	King.  Ref:  "The Plantation of Ulster" from the internet site www.answers.com.
1641.  Irish Catholics rebelled, slaughtering thousands of men, women, and children.
	Many Scots returned to Scotland.  Ref:  "The Plantation of Ulster" from the
	internet site www.answers.com.
1642-50.  Scottish soldiers, many of them Catholic Highlanders, helped to quell the Irish
	rebellion, and many stayed in Ireland afterwards.  Ref:  "The Plantation of Ulster"
	from the internet site www.answers.com.
1649-52.  Oliver Cromwell gained control of England and then Scotland and Ireland.
	Presbyterianism became the official state religion until ca 1660, but persecution of
	the Presbyterians by the Catholics and Anglicans continued.  Ref:  various history
	sources.
ca 1650.  John and Prudace Verner were listed in land grants "when Cromwell came to
	Ireland".  Ref:  Irish and Anglo-Irish Landed Gentry by O'Hart, according to A. L.
	Verner in Verner Families.  A. L. Verner also said that O'Hart wrote in another
	record that "the Verners first came to Ireland in the year 1650 -- at the time
	Edinburgh was sacked by Cromwell's Army."  Those two records imply that the
	lands were granted by Cromwell, but the location of the land was not listed.
	A. L. Verner inferred that John and Prudace settled in County Armagh and that
	John was the first male of that surname in Ulster, because the lineages published
	by Burke and others said that the father of Henry Verner (1683 will) "settled in
	County Armagh with his relatives, the Achesons".  A. L. Verner thus inferred that
	John and Prudace were the parents of the Henry who died in 1683 and that the
	other men in subsequent records were either sons or close relatives of John and
	Prudace.  (However, the next few records refer to Counties Antrim and Down, not
	to the adjoining County Armagh.  It is possible that John and Prudace first lived in
	County Armagh and then obtained land elsewhere, or that their sons/relatives
	obtained land elsewhere, or that they owned mulitple lands in multiple counties.
	It is also possible that they had to move because of hostilities.  It is not certain that
	the John of 1650 was the man in the later records, but it is likely that he was one
	of the two men named John in the later records, and he might have been the John
	who died in 1684.)  A. L. Verner also wrote in Verner Families that Gentlemens'
	Arms of Scotland by Stodart states that the Verners, baronets of Ireland, claim
	descent from the Vernors (or Vernours) of Edinburgh, Scotland.  (The first
	baronetcy was awarded ca 1846 to a grandson of the Henry who died in 1724, and
	that line adopted a modified version of extinct Scottish arms that depicted three
	boars' heads.  They reportedly claim descent from the Henry who died in 1683,
	although I have never seen proof of that connection, and that Henry did not name
	a son Henry in his 1683 will.  It is possible that the Henry who died in 1724 was a
	grandson of the older Henry, that the father of the younger man is not known, and
	that the connection is inferred from land ownership records.  I assume that the
	titled line of baronets commissioned extensive genealogy research.  Land grants
	were given to men of means who were able to use their tenants and servants to
	improve the land and build fortified buildings, which implies that John was
	probably middle-aged in 1650.  The Henry who died in 1683 was probably the
	man listed in 1653 and 1666, which implies that he was mature in 1653 and was
	probably born by ca 1625.  Based on the above data and unless proof to the
	contrary is found, I have to accept that John might have been the father of the
	Henry who died in 1683, so I 	would estimate that John and Prudace were
	possibly born in the early-1600s.)
1652.  The Quaker movement began in England.
23 May 1653.  Dated at Carrickfergus.  Names of Presbyterian landholders and others
	proposed to be removed from Ulster into Leinster and Munster in 1653 included:
	"County of Antrim" "Shane's Castle, Largy and Toome Quarters, Henry Verner".
	Ref:  the original record is reportedly in the British Museum, printed in Reid's
	History of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, Volume II, 1867 Edition, page
	553.  A. L. Verner wrote in Verner Families that the scarcity of records between
	1650 and 1691 was because of the persecution of the Protestants in Ulster in the
	periods from 1652 to 1666 and again from 1685 to 1689, during which time many
	left Ireland, some of whom returned later.  He wrote that most Scots left Ulster
	during those periods for a number of years.  (Many Scots also left Ulster in the
	1630s and 1640s because of adversities.  The Wars of the Three Kingdoms
	occurred from 1641-1653, including the English Civil War, the Scottish Civil
	War, and the Irish Confederate Wars.  The Scottish soldiers in Ulster were
	eventually driven back to their stronghold at Carrickfergus.  Henry might have
	been one of those or someone who supported them.  Shane's Castle is the popular
	name for the castle at Edenduffcarrick.  Largy is/was a townland in Toome
	Barony of County Antrim.  If Henry was removed, he must 	have returned,
	because he was listed in County Antrim in 1666.  To be a threat, he must have
	been a man of some influence, and he was probably the man who died in 1683.)
1658.  Oliver Cromwell died, and the Catholic Charles II became King.  The Irish
	reclaimed much of their lands, and English law prevailed throughout Ireland.
	King Charles II persecuted the Scots so badly that the period was known as the
	"killing times", but the temporary peace in Ireland and a rebellion in Scotland
	caused migration from Scotland to Ireland to increase.  Ref:  various histories.
1659.  County Down Census listed:  John Verner, Gent., Dromskea (Drumskea)
	Townland, Dromonre (Dromore) Parish, Lower Iveagh Barony, 23 tenants
	including 17 English and 6 Irish.  (The barony of Lower Iveagh in County Down
	was just east of the barony of O'Neil Land and was only a short distance from
	Loughgall Parish in County Armagh.  John was probably the man who held land
	grants in 1650.  The researcher noted that there was no Verner listed in the 1659
	County Antrim census, implying that the John of 1659 County Down was
	probably the man listed in County Antrim in 1669.  The notes spell the town name
	as Dromskea, the Film T-497 from PRONI spells the name as Drumskea, and
	modern references spell it as Drumskea or Drumskee.)
1666.  Hearth Money Rolls of County Antrim list:
	James Verner, 1 Hearth, 2/-, Drumaule (Drummaul) Parish, Toome Barony.
	Henry Verner, 2 Hearths, 4/-, Antrim Parish, Toome Barony.
	Robert Verner, 1 Hearth, 2/-, Antrim Parish, Toome Barony.
	(Hearths were important parts of a building.  England imposed a tax of two
	shillings per hearth per year from 1662 to 1689.  Exemptions were granted to the
	poor, chartitable institutions, and some industries.  The number of hearths is a
	rough indicator of the size of a house or group of buildings.)  Ref:  Wikipedia.
	(The relationships of those men are not known.  Henry was probably the man
	from the 1653 record above and the man who died in 1683.  Robert and James
	might have been his brothers, and all might have been sons of John and Prudace
	of 1650 and John of 1659 and 1669.  	Based on their probable ages, it is not likely
	that Robert and James were sons of Henry.)
1669.  Hearth Money Rolls of County Antrim list:
	James Verner, 1 Hearth, 2/-, Dun (      ) (sic; presumably Drummaul Parish),
		Edenduffcarrick, Toome Barony.
	David Verner, 2 Hearths, 4/-, Kilgavanagh, Toome Barony.
	Robert Verner, 4 Hearths, 8/- Kilgavanagh, Toome Barony.
	James Verner, 3 Hearths, 6/-, Tannaghmore, Toome Barony.
	John Verner, 1 Hearth, 2/-, Tannaghmore, Toome Barony.
	(The castle at Edenduffcarrick is called Shane's Castle, named for Shane O'Neil
	who built it in the 1500s.  Henry of 1653 above was listed as being from Shane's
	Castle.  This roll implies two men named James, presumably of different
	generations, but there might have been only one man with multiple properties.
	John was probably the man from previous records and was probably the man who
	died in 1684 with a son named Robert.  However, there were two men named
	John in later records, so it is possible that the John of 1650 and 1659 was
	elsewhere or living with one of the other men and that the John of 1669 was his
	son or nephew.  The Henry who died in 1683 had a son named David, who was
	probably the man in this record.  Henry had probably given his house to his son
	David, which would be compatible with Henry's 1683 will, and Henry might have
	been living with David in 1669.  Robert and the James with the multiple hearths
	were presumably the men from 1666 above.  Robert was probably the son of the
	John who died in 1684.  The James with one hearth might have been a younger
	man and might have been a son of Henry or John that was not named in their
	1683 and 1684 wills.  Henry's will was witnessed by a James, and John's was
	endorsed by a James, but the relationships are not clear.)
 31 Jul 1681.  Baptism of Hugh, son of James Varnot (sic; presumably Varnor)
	Ref:  Baptism records, parish not clear, probably Loughgall or Achelow/Aghaloo.
	(Hugh was probably a brother of the Mary who was baptized in 1684 below.
	James was probably one of the men from 1669.  A James witnessed the 1683 will
	of Henry, and a James endorsed the 1684 will of a man named John.)
15 May 1683.  Prerogative Court will.  Probated 17 Sep 1683.
	Henry Verner of Galgavenagh (sic; also spelled Gullivenagh & Kilgavanagh, the
		latter apparently being the modern spelling), County Antrim.
	To son Benjamin, leases of half town of Galgavenagh (sic) and of townland of
		Creavery (Creevery).
	To son Samuel, land in Dunsilly held from Mr. Kennedy and half town of
		Tobernomeine (sic; Tobernaveen).
	To daughter Mary, Charge on Creavery (sic; Creevery) and Tobernomeine (sic;
		Tobernaveen).  ("Charge" apparently meant income or similar and does
		not appear to have been her last name.)
	To unmd. (unmarried) daughter Sara ?50 lent to Marchioness (wife or widow of
		a Marquis) of Antrim.
	To son David to continue in his Qr. (sic; probably quarters) land.  (That was 
		probably the house listed in 1669.)
	Witnesses:  James Verner, James Browne.
	Probate to his widow Isabella Verner and his son Benjamin Verner.
	(Then followed a list of properties, which were probably excerpted from the will
	by the transcriber or researcher.  Three of the numbers are not clear.)
		Tobernaveen (sic), 362 (?) acres, Parish of Shiloodan (sic; maybe modern
			Shankill Parish), Barony of Toome.
		Dunsilly, 341 (?) acres, Parish of Antrim, Barony of Toome.
		Kilgavanagh (sic), 215 (?) acres, Parish of Antrim, Barony of Toome.
		Creevery (sic), 515 acres, Parish of Antrim, Barony of Toome.
	(There were no further records of Benjamim or that David.  One of those men
	might have been the father of the Henry who died in 1724 and who had a son
	named 	David.  The son Samuel was probably the man who acquired leases in
	County Armagh in 1691/2 and 1713 and sold them in 1722.  He was listd in the
	latter record as being from the same area in County Armagh as the John who died
	in 1684, implying that Samuel was closely related to John, e.g. a nephew or 	grandson.  The witness James was presumably a close relative, e.g. a brother, and
	was probably one of the men from 1666 and 1669.  The will of the John who died
	in 1684 was endorsed by a James Varner.  Notice that there was no listing of a son
	named 	Henry.  The descendants of the Henry who died in 1724 claim that the
	younger Henry was a descendant of the Henry who died in 1683, so perhaps the
	younger man had already received his inheritance, but it is more likley that he was
	a grandson of the older Henry.  The younger Henry was most likely a son of 	David, based on his having had a known son named David and had no known
	son named Benjamin or Samuel.)
3 Apr 1684.  Baptism of Mary, daughter of James Vernor (sic).
	Ref:  Baptism records, parish not clear, probably Loughgall or Achelow/Aghaloo.
	(The identity of that James is not clear.)
1684.  John Varner of Derricrew (Derrycrew), County Armagh.  Ref:  Armagh Wills.
	Refers to the following will.
24 Apr 1684.  Diocese of Armagh will written and endorsed the same date.  It had no
		notation about probate and reportedly had no signature or witnesses, but
		had an "endorsement", suggesting that it might have been a deathbed will.
	John Varner, late of (illegible; envelope says Dirricrue, presumably Derrycrew)
		in the parish of Loughgall, County Armagh.
	To be buried in the parish of Loughgall.
	All my goods and chattles, rights and credits, as follows:
	To my sons, Robert and Edward, ?200 which I lent to Sir George Acheson and
		which is now in his hand with interest thereon due to me to be equally
		divided between them.
	To my son Mathias and my daughter Ellenor, wife of William Cooke, ?100 due to
		me by Capt. Francis Chambers as by his bond dated 24 April 1684,
		equally between them my sd. son Mathias and my sd. daughter Ellenor,
		but if my said son (Mathias) (sic) who is now beyond seas does not return
		in four years I appoint ?50 of sd. ?100 to go to the eldest son of my sd. son
		Robert and the eldest son of my sd. son Edward equally.
	To my daughter Penelope the sum of ?20.
	In witness wherof 24 April 1684.     (not signed)  (no witnesses)
	Endorsed "James Varner of Derrynan (?), County Armagh, 24 April 1684".
	(It sounds as if John and one of the Jameses from 1669 had moved to County
	Armagh.  It appears that John had no land holdings, but that might not be true.
	According to the laws of primogeniture, the eldest son automatically inherited his
	father's property unless specified otherwise.  It sounds as if Robert and Edward
	might have already had children by that time, but that is not certain.  John had five
	living children and the means to lend money to a nobleman, which implies that he
	was at least middle-aged.  He might have been the John of 1659 County Down
	and 1669 County Antrim, and he might have been the John of 1650, but it is also
	possible that he was a son of the John of 1650.  Ellenor was obviously an adult,
	and it sounds as if Mathias was grown.  It is not clear if Robert and Edward yet
	had sons of their own.  The son Robert might have been the man from 1666 and
	1669 or might have been a namesake of that man.  A Robert showed in church
	records by 1693, along with another John, whose relationship is not known.  The
	endorser James was probably a grandson or nephew of John.) 
1685-1690.  In 1685 James II, brother of Charles II and also a Catholic, became King of
	England and placed all of Ireland under Catholic rule.  During the rule of the
	Catholic Kings, the Presbyterians basically had to hide their religion or suffer the
	consequences.  In 1688 the Scots joined the English Protestants to force James II
	to abdicate and go into exile in France.  The Protestant William of Orange became
	King William III of England, and Presbyterianism was restored, but persecution
	of Presbyterians continued.  In 1689 James left exile and tried to invade Ireland.
	He was defeated at the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland in 1690, which assured the
	survival of Protestants in Ulster, most of whom were of Scots descent.  Thousands
	of French Huguenots were driven out of France in the 1680s, and many of them
	fought for King William and remained in Ulster.  During the 1680s and 1690s
	there was a bad famine in the 	lowlands of Scotland, and about 50,000 more Scots
	migrated to Ireland.  Ref:  various histories.
1690s.  An Edward Verner (in parentheses was the comment "or Varner") was reportedly
	listed as being from Balleyhagan Parish, County Armagh in a document titled
	"Quaker Marriage Certificates 1690-1700" on film T1062/43/4:9 that I found in
	the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI), but I looked at the film,
	and I did not find him listed there.  Edward was probably the son of John Varner,
	who died in 1684.  An Edward was also listed in 1714 as marrying a Lydia, and
	Edward, the son of John, had a daughter named Liddiea, which suggests that it
	was John's son who married in 1714.  Lydia might have been a second wife of
	Edward.  Do not assume that Edward was a Quaker.  The Presbyterians often
	had to use the churches of others for marriages, so the names of Scotch-Irish
	Presbyterians might show in the records of other faiths, e.g. those of the Quakers,
	which would make it appear that the person had a different religious belief from
	what he/she really had.  Ref:  various histories.
Sep 1691 and Apr 1692.  A John Verner was the Commissioner from Maghera at the
	Synods held in Antrim on those two dates.  Ref:  presumably the Old Sessions
	Book of Connor.  Verner Families quotes Scotch-Irish Pioneers in Ulster and
	America by Charles Knowles Bolton as listing the 1691 item as "Jon. Verner,
	Commissioner, 1691, Maghera, Derry" from the records of the Presbytery.  (A
	John Verner was listed in 1693 and 1697 below, who might have been the same
	man.  Maghera was the name of parishes in both County Londonderry and
	County Down.  Conner was a diocese that included parts of Counties Antrim,
	Down, and Londonderry.  That John was presumably a younger man than the
	John who died in 1684, although that is not certain.  He might have been a
	cousin or nephew of the other man and might have been a brother or cousin of the
	Henry who died in 1683 and of the men named James, Robert, and David who
	were listed in the 1660s.  The father of the Henry who died in 1683 probably
	would have been born by the early 1600s, and it is not likely Henry's father would
	have been a Commissioner in the 1690s.  Thus, the identities and relationships of
	the various men named John are not certain.)
18 Feb 1691/2.  Samuel Varner (sic) of Levaleglish, Manor of Derrycrew, County
	Armagh leased land in Levaleglish and Ballyahey (Ballygasey) in Loughgall
	Parish, O' Neil Land Barony, County Armagh, from Robert Cope, Esq. and later
	renewed a lease or leased more land on 18 Sep 1713.  He sold those leases in
	1722 and immigrated to America.  A Robert Varner was a party to the sale, but
	their relationship is not known.  See the details of the sale in Appendix 1-A above
	for the source of the original deed.  (Samuel was probably the son of the Henry
	who died in 1683.  The leases that he inherited in 1683 in County Antrim
	probably expired, were sold, or were confiscated when the Catholics took control
	in 1685.  Notice that the John who died in 1684 also lived in the Manor of
	Derrycrew.  I suspect that John was Samuel's grandfather or uncle.  A few months
	after Samuel sold his leases in 1722, land across the road from his previous
	property was sold, and one of the witnesses was Edward Verner, which implies a
	relationship.  Edward, son of the John who died in 1684, moved to Loughgall
	Parish, which is more circumstantial evidence that the Henry who died in 1683
	and the John who died in 1684 were either brothers or father/son.)
1693.  The names of John Verner and Robert Verner began appearing in the Old Sessions
	Book of Connor.  John's name appeared last on 16 Jul 1704, and Robert's
	appeared last on 27 Jun 1708.  Verner Families lists, "Robert Verner (Vernor),
	Ruling Elder, Connor, County Antrim" from the Presbytery records listed in the
	chapter "Home Towns of Ulster Famlies from 1691-1718" of Scotch-Irish
	Pioneers in Ulster and America.  No date was listed for that item, but it was
	obviously from the period 1691-1718, and most likely between 1693 and 1708.
	See the record of 1692 above and 1697 below.  (That Robert was probably the
	man from the 1666 and 1669 records, but that is not certain.)
20 Jan 1694 (presumably 1694/5).  "A purpose of Marriage betwixt Joseph McNeily of
	Templepatrick and Sarah Varner (sic) of this Parish."  This was apparently a
	proclamation of intent to marry.  The parish is not clear.  It might have been
	Loughgall or Achalow/Aghaloo, based on a similar document of 24 Oct 1698
	below.  Ref:  presumably marriage records of the parish.  (Sarah was probably
	the daughter of the Henry who died in 1683.)
1697.  John Verner was an Elder from Maghera and Dawson's Bridge.  Ref:  presumably
	the Old Sessions book of Connor.  Verner Families lists, "John Verner, Ruling
	Elder, 1697, Castledawson, County Tyrone" from the Presbytery records listed in
	the chapter "Home Towns of Ulster Famlies from 1691-1718" of Scotch-Irish
	Pioneers in Ulster and America.  (Again, the identity of that John is not certain.
	A. L. Verner speculated that he might have been the original male Verner in
	Ulster and might have been the man listed in 1650, but that is not proven.  I think
	it is more likely that the John of 1650 was the man who died in 1684 and that the
	man in 1697 was a younger man.)
24 Oct 1698.  "A purpose of marriage between Samuel Verner (sic) of this Parish and
	Mary Moore, Parish of Achalow, were proclaimed the 25th 1st time."
	Ref:  presumably marriage records of the parish. (This was obiously a recording
	of intent to marry.  The phrase "25th 1st time" is not clear.  It sounds as if a first
	proclamation was made on the 25th of the previous month and that this was a 
	second proclamation.  However, the term "1st time" might refer to the previous
	month, as in the "1st instance", and this might not have been a second
	proclamation.  The parish is not clear.  It appears that Mary was from the Parish
	of Achalow, but the wording suggests that Samuel might have been from a
	different parish, perhaps Loughgall.  There is no indication that there were
	multiple men named Samuel, e.g. a term "elder" or "younger", suggesting that this
	Samuel was probably the man who leased land in 1691/2 and the son who was
	listed in Henry's 1683 will, and he would have been compatible with the Samuel
	who immigrated to America ca 1722-3.  Mary must have been the daughter of
	John Moore who was mentioned in the 1713 lease and the 1717 and 1726 wills
	below.  Samuel and Mary had at least three children whose names were Charity,
	Elizabeth, and John, as shown in later records.  The older immigrant Samuel had a
	son named David who was old enough to acquire land in 1725, and Samuel is
	believed to have had a son, grandson, or nephew named John, who appeared in
	the records of Pennsylvania.  A younger Samuel appeared in Pennsylvania records
	in 1728/9 and 1735 who might have been a son of the older immigrant Samuel,
	but, if the man who married in 1698 was the younger man, I would have expected
	to see some indication in the records that there was another man named Samuel in
	the area.  If the Samuel of 1698 was the older Samuel, then his son David was
	probably born before 1698 to an earlier wife.)
23 Dec 1700.  Baptism of Charity, daughter of Samuell Vernar (sic).
	Ref:  Baptism records, parish not clear, probably Loughgall or Achelow/Aghaloo.
	(See the comments under the 1698 record above.  That Samuel was the man who
	married Mary Moore in 1698.  Charity and two of her siblings were named in the
	1726 will of their grandfather John Moore.)
26 Jan 1702 (presumably 1702/3).  Baptism of an unnamed child of Samuell Verner (sic).
	Ref:  Baptism records, parish not clear, probably Loughgall or Achelow.  (That
	Samuel was presumably the man listed in the 1698 marriage and 1700 baptism
	records above.  The unnamed child was probably John or Elizabeth, who were
	named in the 1726 will of John Moore.  However, the child could have been the
	man named Robert who was listed in the 1722 sale below or the son David who
	claimed the grant of his deceased father Samuel in 1725 Pennsylvania.  Unless
	some document is found that shows multiple men named Samuel in County
	Armagh in those years, I will assume that there was only one and that he was
	the older immigrant to America.)
26 Nov 1703.  William Verner was an "Elder" at the first meeting of the Session of the
	Dawson's Bridge Congregation and at other meetings until 11 Aug 1710.  The
	researcher noted that Magherafelt became a separate charge in 1738, but that the
	name Verner does not appear therein.  (That William is unidentified.  He must 
	have been the William of Mullyboy who was repeatedly listed in the records of
	Castledawson.  It appears that he died in 1710.  Magherafelt became a parish in
	County Londonderry, whereas Castledawson is in County Tyrone, but I do not
	know the location of Dawson's Bridge.  There was apparently a younger William
	in the Parish of Loughgall in County Armagh.)
16 Jul 1704.  The name of John Verner appeared for the last time in the Old Sessions
	Book of Connor, having been listed since 1693.  Robert Verner's name appeared
	from 1693 until 27 Jun 1708.  (See the comments under 1693 above.  The identity
	of that John is not certain, but he was obviously a different man from the John
	who died in 1684.)
27 Aug 1704.  Baptism of James, son of William V. (Verner) of Mullyboy.
	Ref:  Castledawson and Magherafelt Baptisms.  (Mullyboy is listed in a 1710 
	record as being in County Derry, whereas Castledawson is in County Tyrone.  I
	recall that there was some shifting of boundaries at one time and that part of
	County Tyrone was given to County Derry, or similar.  See 1703 above, the
	baptism of 1705 below, and the will of 1710 below.)
15 Mar 1704 (presumably 1704/5).  Ordered on motion that the breach of privilege
	complained of to be committed against this house by John Rogers and Thos.
	Rogers, both of Tategare in the County of Monaghan; Thomas Magill of Bellyard
	in County Armagh; Joseph Hedge, the said John Rogers servant; Henry Verner of
	Armagh; and Richard Lake of same; in arresting one Wm. McEsoner within the
	Manor of Cladymore belonging to the Right Honble. William Lord Viscount
	Charlemont be and is here by referred to the Committee of Privileges.
	Ref:  Journals of the Irish House of Lords, Vol. 2, page 100.  See 22 Mar 1704/5
	below.  (Henry Verner must have been the man who died in 1724.)
22 Mar 1704 (presumably 1704/5).  See 15 Mar 1704/5 above.  The Committee find that
	it was a notorious breach of privilege and the House agreed to same.  Order
	thereon -- that the Serjeant-at-arms do forthwith apprehend the before mentioned
	persons.
1705.  The PRONI records said that a Wm. Verner of Loughgall or Shankill Parish was
	listed in "Quaker Marriage Certificates", but I was not able to find that record.
	(That must have pertained to the marriage to Ruth, based on the baptism record
	of 1706/7 below.  That William was probably younger than the William from
	Mullyboy.  It appears that William of Loughgall died in 1712.  As with Edward
	above, do not assume that William was a Quaker.)
21 Dec 1705.  Baptism of Margaret, daughter of William V. (Verner) of Mullyboy.
	Ref:  Castledawson and Magherafelt Baptisms.  (See 1703 above and the will of
	1710 below.)
Feb 1706/7 (sic).  Baptism of Mary, daughter of William and Ruth Verner.
	Ref:  Loughgall Registers.  (See the marriage item of 1705 above, the will of
	1712, and the baptism items in between.  It appears that William of Loughgall
	was different from and probably younger than William of Mullyboy.  It appears
	that William of Loughgall died in 1712.)
1706-1708.  William Verner was listed as Ruling Elder of Castledawson, County Tyrone,
	according to Verner Families.  Ref:  the Presbytery records listed in the chapter
	"Home Towns of Ulster Famlies from 1691-1718" of Scotch-Irish Pioneers in
	Ulster and America.  (That was probably the William of Mullyboy, listed in 1703,
	1705, and 1710.)
30 Mar 1707/8 (sic; actually 30 Mar/11 Apr 1707/8).  Baptism of John, son of William
	and Ruth Verner.  Ref:  Loughgall Registers.  (Under the Old Calendar, the new
	year began on March 25th, rather than January 1st.  When the calendar was
	changed in 1752, the beginning of the year was changed, but there were also
	eleven days lost.  If the year "1707/8" is correct, I think the actual date would
	have changed from 30 Mar 1707 to 11 Apr 1708, but that is confusing, so most
	writers do not change the day, particularly for English records.)  Ref:  Loughgall
	Registers. (See the items of 1705 and 1706/7 above.)
27 Jun 1708.  The name of Robert Verner appeared for the last time in the Old Sessions
	Book of Connor, having been listed first in 1693.  Robert Vernor represented the
	Congregation of Connor at the Synods of 4 Jun 1706 and 3 Jun 1707.  John
	Verner's name had appeared from 1693 until 16 Jul 1704.  (The identities of
	that Robert and John are not certain.)
19 Sep 1708.  Baptism of David, son of the Henry Verner who died in 1724.
	Ref:  Registers of the Presbyterian Congregation of Antrim in the custody of
	the Presbyterian Historical Society at Belfast.
28 Oct 1708.  Burial of Jane, wife of Edward Verner.  Ref:  Loughgall Registers.
	(Edward was presumably the man who died in 1747 and who was probably the
	son of the John who died in 1684.  It appears that he remarried in 1714 to Lydia.)
31 May 1709.  Baptism of Sarah, daughter of William and Ruth Verner.
	Ref:  Loughgall Parish Registers.  (See the items of 1703, 1705, and 1710.)
1710.  Will, apparently of William Verner of Mullyboy, County Derry, a tanner.
	Ref:  Index to Prerogative Wills of Ireland.  (It is not clear if the will was written
	in 1710 or probated in 1710, but the fact that a William disappeared from the
	records of Castledawson after August 1710 implies that he died in 1710.  The
	transcript of his will might be helpful.  A William was buried in 1712, but he was
	probably the man from the Loughgall Parish records.  "Prerogative" pertains to 	the Prerogative Court which handled probates of certain wills.)
9 Feb 1710 (presumably 1710/1).  John Johnson of Connor, the younger, wed Esther
	Vernor of Sylverdein according to the Rites of the Church of Ireland by Rev.
	Robert 	Donnell of Ballymena, as noted on a stray leaf in the Old Sessions Book
	of Connor.  (Esther is unidentified.  Notice the qualifying term "the younger",
	which implies that there was another man with that name in that area.)
26 Dec 1711.  Baptism of Richard, son of William and Ruth Verner.
	Ref:  Loughgall Parish Registers.  (This item and the next one appear to confirm
	that there were two men named William of that period, one in County Derry and
	one in County Armagh.)
12 Jun 1712.  Burial of William Verner.  Ref:  Loughgall Parish Registers.  (The name
	William disappeared from the records of that period.  This item and the one of
	1710 appear to prove that there were two men named William, one who lived in
	County Derry and died in 1710 and one who lived in County Armagh and died
	in 1712.)
28 Dec 1712.  Baptism of Mary, daughter of Henry Verner.  (Henry died in 1724.)  Ref:
	Registers of the Presbyterian Congregation of Antrim in the custody of the
	Presbyterian Historical Society at Belfast.
1 Nov 1713.  Lease registered on 9 May 1717.
	Thomas White of Redhills, County Cavan to William Moore of Dromont in
	Aghalow Parish for three lives for ever, one of the lives was:  John Varnet (sic;
	presumably Varner) said Dromont, son of Samuel Varnet (presumably Varner),
	formerly of Dromont and grandson of John Moore.  That information was
	apparently from Record Number 18.275.9033.  There is a comment, "Endorsed on
	Lease of 1 Nov 1713 above (See 320.586.220304) is a new Lease dated 20 April
	1758 (the number "8" is not certain), Registered 26 June 1779, in which are
	inserted three new lives, one being in place of John Vernor."  (That John Varner
	was obviously the son of Samuel and Mary, nee Moore, who wed in 1698. 
	Present-day Aghalow/Aghaloo Parish is in County Tyrone and adjoins County
	Armagh, just west of the city of Armagh and only a short distance from Loughgall
	Parish.  I do not know the boundaries of the parishes in 1713, but the 1726 will of
	John Moore implies that Aghalow Parish extended into County Armagh at that
	time.  I can not locate a town of Dromont, but there are towns named Dromore
	and Drummond in Aghaloo Parish.  Samuel might have been the man who
	immigrated to America.  The date "1758" is unclear.  The "8" was overstruck, so
	that number might have been misread.  The lease replacing John's name in "1758"
	implies that he had died or migrated.  A John appeared in Pennsylvania records
	who might have been a relative of the men named Samuel there, and he died in
	1754.  That in turn suggests that the John in the Pennsylvania records might have
	been the man named in the 1713 lease.) 
1714.  Robert Verner of Drumduff was listed on the 1714 Armagh Rent Rolls, according
	to Film T-129 in the PRONI records.  The same name was still there in 1725 and
	1734 in reference to a possession in Ballygasey, County Armagh, that was
	formerly in the lease book of Brownlow Est (presumably Estates).  (That Robert
	was probably the man listed in the 1722 sale with Samuel Varner, but their
	relationship is not clear.  A Robert Verner showed in the records of Pennsylvania
	in 1735 who was compatible with the Robert of the 1700s Irish records.)
1714.  Edward Verner reportedly married a Lydia in 1714, according to film T1062/43/14
	in the PRONI records.  (That was probably a second marriage.  An Edward was
	reportedly listed in a marriage certificate record in the 1690s, and a Jane, wife of
	an Edward Verner, was buried in 1708, which suggests that Edward had two
	wives.  Edward wrote his will in 1740, died in 1747, and had a daughter named
	Liddiea.  Edward was apparently the son of the John who died in 1684.  If
	Edward first married in the 1690s, he was probably born by 1680.)  
1714-1719.  A severe drought in Ireland devastated the wool and linen industries.
1 Nov 1716.  Sale of the lease of half of the town of Augherlogher by Wm. Cope to
	Henry Clarke.  See the recording of 8 May 1725 below.  (Do not confuse the sale
	of the leases of the land with the sale of the ownership of the land.  It appears that
	the land was owned by someone else.  Augherlogher is apparently now spelled
	Eagralougher.)
28 Apr 1717.  Baptism of Thomas, son of Henry Verner.  (Henry died in 1724.)
	Ref:  Registers of the Presbyterian Congregation of Antrim in the custody of
	the Presbyterian Historical Society at Belfast.  (Notice that this baptism was in
	County Antrim, whereas Henry apparently died in County Armagh in 1724.)
27 Nov 1717.  Armagh will; probated 2 Sep 1718.
	Robert Moore of Mt. Antogsbane in Aghalow Parish.
	?5 to John Verner my sister's son according to M. S. made by me and my father.
	?5 to Elizabeth Verner.  John Verner is mentioned as an eventual heir, failing
	issue of Testator's son.  Listed is, "John Moore, the 2nd eldest son of my brother
	Wm. Moore", etc.  (John and Elizabeth were children of Samuel Verner by his
	wife Mary, daughter of John Moore, whom he married in 1698.  Robert did not
	list Samuel's and Mary's daughter Charity, but she was baptized in 1700 and was 
	named in her grandfather's 1726 will.  Robert, William, and Mary were obviously
	three children of the elder John Moore, and the John Moore of the will was a
	grandson of the elder John Moore.)
26 Nov 1719.  Robert Verner wed Sarah Hall, alias Hayes.  Ref:  Loughgall Registers.
	(That Robert might have been the son of the John who died in 1684, or the son of
	Edward Verner named in the 1740 will, or a son of the older immigrant Samuel
	Varner/Verner.  He might have been the man who was in the 1722 lease sale with
	Samuel.  Again, notice that there is no descriptive term to indicate more than one
	man named Robert in the county at that time.)
28 Jul 1720.  Burial of Martha, daughter of Edward Verner.  Ref:  Loughgall Registers.
	(That was apparently a daughter of Edward who was not named in his 1740 will.)
12 Feb 1720 (presumably 1720/21).  Baptism of Alice, daughter of Robert and Sarah
	Verner.  Ref:  Loughgall Registers.  (See the comments of the 1719 marriage
	above.)
30 Nov 1721.  Licence of Daniel Richardson and Jane Verner (presumably to marry).
	Ref:  Loughgall Parish Registers.  (Those might have been the parents of
	Edward's grandson Samuel Richardson who was named in his 1740 will.)
13 Oct 1722.  Sale of 8 Aug 1722 recorded.
	Samuel Varner of Levaleglish "purier" and Robert Varner of same, weaver, both
	of County Armagh, to George Stone of Armagh, County Armagh, merchant, for
	?180, leases of land in Levaleglish and Ballyahey (Ballygasey), including an
	orchard in Levaleglish in Loughgall Parish in O' Neil Land Barony (O' Neil Land
	West) and Armagh County, held from Robert Cope, Esq. by lease to Samuel
	Varner dated 18 Feb 1691 (presumably 1691/2) and 18 Sep 1713.
	Witnesses:  Herbert Stone and Robert Brennan, both of Armagh, gents.
	Record number:  35.197.21941.
	(A full transcript is in Appendix 1-A above.  Levaleglish was in the Manor of
	Derrycrew, as shown by the next lease, which implies that Samuel was a close
	relative of the John who died in 1684 and was perhaps his nephew or grandson.
	The identity of that Robert Varner is not clear, but it appears that he was a son,
	cousin, or uncle of Samuel.  He was probably not the Robert of the 1660s,
	because that Robert would have been at least in his late-seventies in 1722, but the
	Robert of 1722 was probably a namesake of the older man.  Edward Verner
	witnessed the next deed, which involved land across the road from Samuel's land,
	suggesting that he was related to Samuel.  Consider the possibilities.  If the John
	who died in 1684 was a brother of the Henry who died in 1683, then Samuel,
	Edward, and Edward's brother Robert would have been first cousins.  If the John
	who died in 1684 was the father of the Henry who died in 1683, then Edward and
	Edward's brother Robert would have been Samuel's uncles.  The leases were
	apparently obtained only in the name of Samuel, which suggests that Robert's
	interest came later.  Samuel might have borrowed money from an uncle or cousin
	during the previous drought by mortgaging his leases, but there was no mention of
	such a mortgage.  It is also possible that Robert Varner of the 1722 deed might
	have been Samuel's eldest son who had reached maturity.  Regardless of the
	relationship with Samuel, he might have been the man who married Sarah
	Hall/Hayes in 1719.  See the further discussion in Chapter One above.)
1722, 1723, or 1724.  Samuel Varner/Verner/Vernor immigrated from Ireland to
	Pennsylvania, as proven by Pennsylvania records.
5 Feb 1722 (1722/3).  Lease of 10 Aug 1722 recorded.
	Robert Cope of Loughgall, Esq., to George Stone of Armagh, merchant.
	Farm in Levaleglish in Manor of Derrycrew and Drumnilly in Loughgall Parish
	and Armagh County, lying on the other side of road opposite the house where
	Sam Varner lately dwelt, for 3 three lives of Christopher Stone and Robert
	Brennan at 10/6 an acre and 4 fat capons or 1/-.
	Witnesses:  Edward Verner of Agherloghan, Herbert Stone and Robert Brennan
	of Armagh, gents.  Signed by Stone.
	Record number 36.310.22561.
	(Agherloghan is apparently now spelled Eagralougher.  This record proves that
	Samuel no longer lived there in February 1722/3, which would be compatible
	with his having been the immigrant to America.  It also suggests that he and
	Edward were related.  See my comments of the previous deed.)
28 Mar 1722/3.  Baptism of Sarah, daughter of Robert and Sarah Verner.
	(See the marriage of 1719, the baptism of 1720, and my comments of the deed of
	October 1722 above.)
1724.  Pennsylvania.  Samuel and a James Varner/Verner/Vernor appeared on a tax list.
	The identity of that James is not known.  Samuel was presumably the immigrant
	who died by September 1725 with a son named David, as listed below.   
10 Jun 1724.  Armagh will; probated 2 Dec 1724.  (Composite of three abstracts.)
	Henry Verner of Armagh, County Armagh.
	To be buried in church yard of Armagh.
	To my beloved wife Ann Verner ?60.
	To my eldest son James Verner ?60.
	To my second son David Verner ?60.
	To my third son Thomas Verner ?60.
	To my eldest daughter Mary Verner ?50. (one abstract said Margaret)
	To my youngest daughter Ann Verner ?50.
	In case any of my sd. sons or daughters dispose of themselves in marriage without
	consent of exors. then ?40 to be deducted from such disobedient child and
	distributed same among the obedient children.
	If any of sd. children die under 21 or unmarried, the share of said (or such)
	(would be distributed) between my wife and surviving children, and should all my
	children die then all to go to my beloved wife as she thinks proper.
	If my effects amount to more than the above legacies, same to go to my eldest son
	James toward his education.
	Appoint my brother Geo. Ker and my beloved wife Ann Verner, exors.
	In witness whereof 10 June 1724.                 Henry Verner.
	Seal:  a Lion passant.  (from one abstract)
	Witnesses:  Rob: Walker, William Cowser, Geo.Walker.
	Probate 2 Dec 1724.
	(The titled family of Northern Ireland descends from that Henry and reportedly
	believe that he was a descendant of the Henry who died in 1683.  However, the
	Henry who died in 1683 did not name a son Henry in his will, which suggests that
	the Henry who died in 1724 might have been a grandson of the older Henry.
	Perhaps he was a son of the older Henry's son David.  Notice that this will does
	not mention any land holdings, but Henry might have had land holdings that
	passed automatically to his eldest son because of the laws of primogeniture.  It
	appears that most of the wealth of the later titled branch was acquired through
	acquisition and marriage.  Henry's widow Anne bought a lot of land or leases, so
	she obviously had an income from some source.  Henry's son Thomas married an
	heiress, but they were childless and passed their wealth to a nephew, the son of
	Thomas's brother David.)
8 May 1725.  County Armagh lease sale of 1 Nov 1716 recorded.
	Wm. Cope of Maydown in Loughgall Parish and Armagh County, gent.
	To Henry Clarke of Anasamry in said parish and county for ?600 (leases of)
	the half town of Augherlogher in Loughgall Parish and County, leased by Jn.
	Elcock to said Wm. Cope for 1000 years.
	Record number:  59.285.40512.
	(William Cope apparently did not own title to the land, but rather only the lease.
	See my comments of the 1716 sale above.  I list this deed, because Henry's widow
	Ann appears to have acquired a similar lease from someone else in the 1730s.)
 1725.  Robert Verner was listed on the 1725 Armagh Rent Rolls in reference to a
	possession in Ballygasey, County Armagh, that was formerly in the lease book of
	Brownlow Est (presumably Estate), according to Film T-129 in the PRONI
	records.  The same name was still there in 1734, and a Robert Verner had been
	listed in Drumduff in 1714 above.  (That Robert was probably a son, cousin, or
	uncle of the older immigrant Samuel.  See my comments of the 1722 sale above
	and the 1734 lease below.  A Robert Verner showed in Pennsylvania in 1735,
	disappeared from those records after 1743, and would have been compatible with
	the Robert of the 1714-1734 Irish records, but it is highly unlikely that he would
	have been the man in the records of the 1660s.)
2 Sep 1725.  The older immigrant Samuel Varner/Verner/Vernor had died, as proven by a
	Pennsylvania record of that date.  His son David applied for the grant of Samuel's
	land.  (That record proves that the older Samuel had as son named David and
	implies that David had been born by mid-1704.  If the Samuel who married in
	1698 was the older immigrant, then David must have been born prior to 1698 to a
	previous wife.  A James showed in the Pennsylvania records in 1724 and died in
	1735 with a wife and possibly with minor children.  A younger Samuel showed in
	the Pennsylvania records in 1728/9, reportedly "went abroad" in 1728, reappeared
	in 1735, and died with a widow and possibly minor children.  A John Verner
	showed in 1733/4 and died in 1754 with a widow Martha and minor children
	named Samuel, Benjamin, Elizabeth, James, John, Mary, and Hannah.  A Robert
	Verner showed in 1735, guaranteed bond for David's estate in 1743, and
	disappeared from Pennsylvania records.  David had a widow Sarah and probably
	minor children.  James, the younger Samuel, John, and Robert of the
	Pennsylvania records were probably sons or other close relatives of the older
	immigrant Samuel.)
21 Feb 1726 (presumably 1726/7).  County Armagh will; probated 15 Dec 1729.
	John Moor (sic) of Drumarn in Aghalow Parish, County Armagh.  He had lands in
	Drumarn and Dromont and a lease of Drumlock and its mill near Rathfriland,
	County Down.  He left sons and daughters, all of whom were listed in the will,
	and many legacies were left to them.  He left ?20 to the children of his daughter
	Mary, viz. John, Charity, and Elizabeth Verner.  (That record shows that some
	men owned land and leases in multiple counties.  Mary married Samuel Verner
	in 1698, as shown above, and might have been his second wife.  The previous
	baptism records proved their daughter Charity and an unknown child who was
	probably John or Elizabeth.  The 1717 will of Robert Moore proved their son
	John and daughter Elizabeth.  If Mary's husband was the older immigrant, he had
	died by September 1725 and probably had children by a previous wife.  They
	would not have been biological grandchildren of John Moore and thus probably
	would not have been named in his will.  On the other hand, there was a younger
	Samuel in the Pennsylvania records who could have been Mary's husband.) 
23 Jun 1731.  County Armagh mortgage; recorded 12 Oct 1731.
	Edward Mathews of Armaghtrinagh in Drumcree Parish and Richard Mathews
	of Tullycallidy in Derrinoose Parish, both of County Armagh, gents., for
	?182.5.3, sold 	to Anne Varner (sic) of Armagh, widow, the half townland of
	Egrylogher (sic) now in possession of Edward Vernor (sic) and Jonathan
	Richardson in Loughgall Parish and Armagh County.
	Witnesses:  Tobias Chambers, Thomas Clarke, Sam. Walker, all of Armagh,
	gents., and John Scott of Moygola, County Armagh, gent.
	Record number:  65.526.46770.
	(Anne was apparently the widow of the Henry who died in 1724.  Her maiden
	name was reportedly Kerr.  It is not clear if Anne was buying the land or the
	leases.  She made other purchases in 1732, 1735, and 1737.  This deed implies
	that the lease on the land was held by Edward and Jonathan, which in turn implies
	that Edward Vernor was a relative, but the exact relationship is not clear.  Edward
	was a son of the John who died in 1684, and other records suggest that the Henry
	who died in 1683 was probably a brother or son of that John. The Henry who died
	in 1724 is reportedly believed by his descendants to have descended from the
	Henry who died in 1683.  If so, then Edward was probably a distant nephew or
	cousin of Ann.)
13 & 16 Dec 1732.  County Armagh mortgage; recorded 27 Aug 1733.
	Edward Mathews of Anakeragh, County Armagh, Farmer.
	to Ann (sic) Verner of Armagh, County Armagh, Widow.
	Annakeragh and Drumonduffee in Drumcree Parish for ?318, etc.
	Witnesses:  Wm. English and George Walker, both of Armagh, Robt. Verner of
	Egrylougher, County Armagh, Gent., and David Verner of Armagh, gent.
	Signed by Anne (sic) Verner and David Verner.
	Record number:  72.447.51473.
	(See the previous comment.  David was presumably Anne's son.  The identity of
	Robert Verner is not clear, but he was probably the son or brother of Edward.  He
	also might have been the Robert of the 1722 deed.)
1733/4.  A John Verner acquired land in Pennsylvania, who might have been a son of the
	older immigrant Samuel Varner/Verner and might have been the John Verner who
	was a grandson of John Moore.  A John Verner died in 1754 in Lancaster County,
	PA, leaving a widow Martha and minor children named Samuel, Benjamin,
	Elizabeth, James, John, Mary, and Hannah.  The names of those children further
	suggest that John Verner of Pennylvania was a son or nephew of the older
	immigrant Samuel.  Recall that the Henry Verner who died in 1683 had sons
	named Benjamin, Samuel, and David.  The name Benjamin was an unusual name
	in the Verner families.  The only evidence of that older Benjamin was his being
	named in his father's 1683 will.  If John Verner was the son of Mary Verner, nee
	Moore, he had a sister named Elizabeth.  The 1713 lease contained a provision
	based on the life of a John Verner, but that requirement was changed in 1758 (the
	number "8" is not certain), which would be compatible with the death of the man
	in Pennsylvania in 1754.
1 May 1734.  Robert Verner leased seventeen acres and woods in Ballygassey (sic),
	which is in County Armagh, and his landlord was Robert Cope.  The lease was for
	life at a yearly rate of seven pounds and two shillings.  Ref:  a list of "Freeholders
	allowed to vote" from PRONI reference number D/1928/F/1A.  (Those names
	suggest that those two men were the men of the 1722 and 1723 sales above.)
1734.  Robert Verner was listed on the 1734 Armagh Rent Rolls in 	reference to a
	possession in Ballygasey, County Armagh that was formerly in the lease book of
	Brownlow Est (presumably Estate).  Ref:  Film T-129 in the PRONI records.
	(That presumably refers to the lease of May 1734 above.  Robert had been listed
	there in 1725, and a Robert Verner had been listed in Drumduff in 1714.  He was
	probably the man listed in the 1722 sale with Samuel, but their relationship is not
	clear.  A Robert Verner showed in Pennsylvania in 1735 and disappeared from
	those records after providing bond for the 1743 estate administration of Samuel's
	son David.  There was no Robert listed in the Irish records between 1734 and
	1747, suggesting that Robert might have gone to America for about eight years
	and then returned to County Armagh or made multiple trips.  Edward's son
	Robert died in 1747, so he could have been the man in all of those records.)
July 1735.  A Robert Verner appeared in Pennsylvania records who was apparently a son
	or other close relative of the older immigrant Samuel Varner/Verner and his son
	David Varner/Verner.  Robert guaranteed bond for the estate of David in 1743
	and disappeared from Pennsylvania records.  See my comments of the 1734 item.
9-10 Dec 1735.  County Armagh mortgage; recorded 2 Nov 1736.
	Richard Mathews of Anakeragh, County Armagh, Gent.
	To Anne Verner of Armagh, County Armagh, widow.
	Anaderagh and Drumanlduffe in O Neiland Barony in Armagh County, let to said
	Richard Mathew and Richard Mathew of Tullycallidy, County Armagh, by
	Francis Obre of Lisburn, County Antrim, Esq., for three lives of both lessees
	and John Mathews brother of Richard Mathew of Tullycallidy for ever (Richard
	Matthew of Tullycallidy assigned to Richard Mathew of Anakeragh) (sic; the 
	abstracter's comment).
	Witnesses:  David Verner of Armagh, Wm. Steel of Dromond, and Jno. Scott of
	Drumgola, all of said Armagh, gents.
	Signed by Anne Verner and David Verner.
	Record number:  86.126.52599.
	(Anne was the widow of Henry Verner who died in 1724, and David was
	presumably their son.  The abstract sounds as if Anne was buying the leases.
	Richard's father's will of 1734 bequeathed leases to Richard, but that will was not
	recorded until 1737.)
25-26 Apr 1737.  County Armagh mortgage; recorded 4 May 1737.
	John Mathews of Mullaghmore in Loughgall Parish, Armagh County.
	to Ann (sic) Verner of Armagh, County Armagh, widow, for ?500.
	Anakeragh and Dromalduffe in Drumcree Parish, O Neiland Barony and Armagh
	County and half townland of Egrelogher in Loughgall Parish in O' Neiland
	Barony and Armagh County, bought from John Alcocke, gent.
	Witnesses:  Thomas Verner of Dawson's Grove, John Carroll of Mullaghmore, 
	Edward Mathews of Coslynan, all of Armagh County, Gents.
	Signed by Thos. Verner and Jno. Mathews.
	Record number:  87.143.60972.
	(Anne was the widow of the Henry who died in 1724, and Thomas was probably
	their son.  This is somewhat confusing, because it is not clear if Anne was buying
	the land or the leases, and the mortgage was signed by Thomas, not Anne.  Other
	items suggest that Anne had earlier bought part of that land and had bought the
	other half of the townland of Eagralogher in 1731, but she might have been
	buying just the leases.)
19 Nov 1737.  Diocese of Armagh will of 4 Jun 1734 recorded.  (Notice that this will was
		written before the above transactions and was recorded after them.)
	Edward Mathews of Anakeragh, County Armagh, gent.
	To son Richard Mathews all freehold leases viz. the half townland of Agrologher
		in Loughgall Parish, 2 townlands of Anakeragh and Drominalduffe in
		O'Nealand Barony, all in said Armagh County, and his issue male --
	Then to John Mathews 2nd son of testator, subject to mortgage due to Widow
		Anne Verner of Armagh.
	Witnesses:  Thomas Thompson of Cornamuckla, Henry Sinnamon of Ballyfodrin,
		and Thos. Johnson of Cornamuckla, all of County Armagh, Edward
		Mathews of Lisgar, County Cavan.
	Signed by John Mathews, son of testator to whom lands have descended by death
		of his brother Richard Mathews.
	Witnessed and signed by Edward Mathews of Lisgar and John Scott of Drumgola,
		County Armagh.
	Record number 84.507.62285.
	(Richard sold his rights to the leases to Anne Verner in 1735 and then died
	between that date and the time of the will recording in 1737.  Do not confuse the
	bequeathing of leases with the ownership of land.  It appears to me 	that Anne
	Verner had purchased the land in 1731 and 1732 and then bought back part of the
	leases, so that all Edward Mathews had left to bequeath were leases.)
11-12 Oct 1738.  County Armagh mortgage; recorded 14 Nov 1738.
	Anne Verner of Armagh, County Armagh, widow; John Matthews of
		Mullaghmore, Loughgall Parish, County Armagh, gent; and Thos.
		Handcock of Dublin, Merchant.
	To Richard Magenis of Dublin, gent., for 549/9/6  1/2 (one-half) townland of
		Egrelougher in Loughgall Parish and O Neiland Barony to hold for lives in
		original lease for lives for ever.
	Witnesses:  W. Savage of B. lough, County Down, Gent.; Thomas Verner of
		Dublin City, Gent., and Thos. Burke of same, gent.
	Signed by Anne Verner and Thomas Verner and proved by Burke.
	Record number:  92,359.64902.
	(Anne was the widow, and Thomas was presumably her son.  This sounds as if
	Anne and the others were selling the leases on that land.)
1739.  A. L. Verner wrote in Verner Families that a famine in1739 killed one-fifth of the
	population of Ireland.
1740.  Protestant Householders included:
	Mrs.(?) Verner in Parish of Magherafell (Magherafelt), County Derry.
	John Vernon in Parish of Drumall (sic; Drummaul), County Antrim.
	David Vernon in Parish of Drumall (sic; Drummaul), County Antrim.
	( I do not know the identities of those people.)
4 May 1740.  Diocese of Armagh will written; probated 13 Jul 1747.
	Edward Varner (sic) of Egerlogher, parish of Loughgall, County Armagh.
	To be buried in the Church yard of Loughgall.
	To my son John Varner (sic) 15 acres of my land adjoining to the road where
		Patk. Murtough lives, together with the corn now on sd. land, also 2 cows
		and a horse and his bed and all my wearing clothes.
	To my daughter Liddiea Burnett ?10 she having in her hand ?4 of sd. money.
		(wife of James Burnett, based on the 1747 will of Robert Verner below)
	To my daughter Margret Ashton ?10 - she has 3 guineas of sd. sum in her hand at
		present.
	To my grandson, Samuel Richardson, ?10 when he shall be 21.  (probably son of
		Jane who married Daniel Richardson in 1721.)
	Remainder of my goods and chattles, horses, lands, corn, gardens, and cattle
		whatsoever equally between my two sons, Robert and Mathias Varner
		(sic), they allowing proper maintenance to my daughter Sarah Varner (sic)
		during her life or ?10 in lieu thereof.
	I order my two sons Robert and Mathias Verner (sic) to be sole exors.
	In witness whereof 4 May 1740.                         Edward Verner (sic)
	Witnesses:  Will. McClatchys, John Verner (sic), W. Foster.
	Probate upon oaths of Wm. McClatchys and Wm. Foster, two of the witnesses
	granted to Mathias Verner, only surviving exor.  13 July 1747.
	(Notice that this will was not probated until 1747.  I listed it here to show the
	people who were alive in 1740.  Edward's son Robert apparently died a few days
	before his father, as shown by his will below.  Those wills suggest, but do not
	prove, that Edward's son Robert was not the man in Pennsylvania records.  It is
	possible that Robert was traveling back and forth between America and Ireland.
	The Robert in the records of Pennsylvania disappeared from those records after
	1743.  Edward was the son of the John Varner of Derrycrew who died in 1684.)
ca 1746.  Birth of James Verner of Church Hill, according to the tombstone data listed
	under 6 Dec 1822 below.  (That James was reportedly the eldest son of David, the
	son of the Henry who died in 1724.  That David was baptized in 1708, reportedly
	married Elizabeth Cresole per an Irish pedigree from Pat Vernor of Herndon, VA,
	and died in 1754.)
5 Jul 1747.  Diocese of Armagh will; probated 10 Jul 1747.
	Robert Verner of Termacranan, parish of Loughgall, County Armagh.
	To be buried in churchyard of Loughgall in the burying place of my ancestors.
	To my brother Mathias Verner my moiety or share of the farm and house of
		Egrelougher.
	To my brother-in-law James Burnet ?5.  (husband of Liddiea from 1740 will.)
	To my natural daughter Ann Verner ?20 upon her marriage.
	To Ann Lavery a house, two acres of land and two cows and the grazing for them
		in the farm of Termacrannan for her life.
	To my nephew Samuel Richardson ?5.  (probably son of Jane who married Daniel
		Richardson in 1721.)
	To my natural son John Verner my equal half or moiety of the household goods in
		the house of Egrelougher now in possession of my brother Mathias
		Verner, the farm in Ballygassy, the farm in Termacrannan together with
		residue of my goods and chattles, debts, accounts and everything that is
		due to me.
	Appoint William Newton of Clovenedon, gent. and said John Verner to be exors.
	In witness thereof 5 July 1747.                    Robt. Verner
	Witnesses:  Wm. Lockhart, Alexr. Hays, Will. Foster.
	Probate upon oath of Willm. Lockhart, Alex. Hays, and Wm. Foster, the three
		witnesses granted to John Verner, one of the exors., Wm. Newton the
		other exor. having renounced 10 July 1747.
	Seal:  a swan passant.
	(Robert was obviously the son of Edward Varner whose will was probated a few
	days after Robert's, implying that Robert died a few days before his father.
	Robert might have been the man listed in the 1722 sale with Samuel Varner and
	might have been the man who showed in Pennsylvania records between 1735 and
	1743.  The term "natural" refers to a biological child, whether born within or
	outside marriage, so the relationship of Ann Lavery is not certain.  John was
	probably the man who wed Mary Wilson in 1749 and the man listed in the
	mid-1700s as being from Termacrannan with a son named Robert.)
13 Jul 1747.  Will of Edward Verner of Egrelogher, County Armagh probated that was
	written in 1740 above.  Edward apparently died a few days after his son Robert.
	Ref:  Armagh Wills.
28 Oct 1747.  Diocese of Armagh will; probated 16 Jan 1754.  (Composite of two
		abstracts)
	David Verner of Gillis, parish and County of Armagh.
	All goods and chattels to wife and children equally.  (not named)
	Appoint Mr. Samuel McGeough of Drumsill and my brother Thomas Verner to
		be exors.
	In witness whereof 28 Oct 1747.                    David Verner.
	Witnesses:  Jas. (or John) Ker. and Mathias Verner.
	Probate granted to Thomas Verner one of the executors.  16 Jan 1754.
	One transcript says:  Seal:  three boars' heads.
	(David and Thomas were apparently the sons of the Henry who died in 1724.
	Notice the seal.  Three boars' heads were on the ancient arms of a Verner in
	Edinburgh, Scotland of the previous century.  Other sources say that David
	married Elizabeth Cresole (spelling?) and had James, Thomas, Elizabeth, Sarah,
	Margaret, and Ann and that his wife Elizabeth died in 1767.  That is confusing,
	because there is a record below of an Elizabeth who died in 1767 who had
	children with different names.  Either she was not Elizabeth, nee Cresole, or else
	someone might have confused two women.  On the other hand, David's will was
	written in 1747, and he did not die until 1754, so perhaps he had other children
	during that interim.  David's younger brother Thomas married the heiress
	Margaret Kerr, who was childless, so Thomas made his nephew James his heir,
	and James was the father of the first baronet Sir William.)
1748 (wrong date?).  Anne Verner to wed George Spencer.  Ref:  Armagh Marriage
	Licence Bonds.  (This item appears to be misplaced,  because another item of
	1768 lists George Spencer as marrying Anne Verner, eldest daughter of Mathias
	Verner.  One of those two items must have a date error.)
1749.  John Verner to wed Mary Wilson.  Ref:  Armagh Marriage Licence Bonds.
	(John was presumably either the son of Robert Verner who died in 1747 or the
	son of Edward.  The former was said to have married "Mary, daughter of Sparks",
	but Mary might have had a previous marriage, and Wilson might have been a
	married name.)
1749.  Thomas Verner to wed Margaret Kerr.  Ref:  Armagh Marriage Licence Bonds.
	(Thomas was the son of the Henry who died in 1724.  Margaret was an heiress,
	but they were childless, so Thomas made his brother David's son James his heir.
	James was the father of the first baronet Sir William Verner.)
1750.  The names David, John, and J. A. Verner were listed in the PRONI records.
29 Apr 1751.  Mortgage of 17 Apr 1751 recorded.
	Thos. Ogle of Armagh Town and County, gent.
	To Thomas Verner of Dublin City, gent.
	Tenement in Scotch Street, Armagh, in which said Ogle lately dwelt, called
	Burnhams 1/2 tenement, tenement at back of the gaol, tenement in said Scotch
	Street, now inhabited by Robert Scott, formerly by John Beck and 2 plots
	adjoining.  Tenement in said Scotch Street of John McMullen and Dan Morris
	formerly occupied by James Luck.  Tenement in Irish St. of Owen McNeal
	formerly Adam Anderson -- Held under the See of Armagh.
	Witnesses:  Jn. Burgess and Thos. Stringer, both of Armagh, and Thomas
	Goodlatt of Derrygally, County Tyrone, Esq.  (Signed by Verner).
	Record number:  146.480.98480.
	(Thomas Verner must have been the son of the Henry who died in 1724, based on
	Thomas's 1788 will.)
16 Jan 1754.  David Verner of Gillis, County Armagh 1747 will above probated.
		Ref:  Armagh Wills.  (David was a son of the Henry who died in 1724.)
8 Jul 1754.  Lease recorded 22 Nov 1754.
	John Gibson of Drogheda, County Louth, gent.
	to Thomas Verner of Dunlin (sic; Dublin) City, Gent.
	Tenement in Abbey Street, Armagh, and 1 acre of Tubary in Drumcoole formerly
	in possession of Rev. Samuel Gibson decd. and now in possession of sd. Thomas
	Verner, all in Parish and County of Armagh, for lives of Mrs. Elizabeth Gibson,
	widow, of sd. Samuel Gibson, and Rev. Wood Gibson, D. D., or 31 years from
	1 Nov 1753, with right of renewal as often as Gibson renews with James Maxwell
	of Dublin City, Esq. at ?15.
	Witnesses:  Jno. Campbell, Edward Thresham clerk to said Thos. Verner, both of
	Dublin.  (Signed by Verner) (sic).
	Record number:  174.72.115190.
	(Thomas Verner must have been the son of the Henry who died in 1724, based on
	Thomas's 1788 will.)
1756.  Bartholomew Verner to wed Jane Bingley.  Ref:  Armagh Marriage Licence
	Bonds.  (I do not know who that was.)
1758.  John Verner listed from Termacrannon.  Ref:  Armagh Administration Bonds
	1742-1857.  (presumably pertains to the next listing)
mid-1700s.  A chart from Burke Abstracts listed:
	John Verner of Termacrannon, Loughgall Parish, County Armagh and Mary,
	"daughter of Sparks", had sons Robert of Dublin, Thomas who was killed in the
	rebellion, and Edward who went in the army and went to America.  Robert died
	in 1799, aged "about 46 or 67" (typo; probably 46 or 47).  He married Julia,
	daughter of Edward Donovan, Esq. of Ballymore, County Wexford, and they had
	sons: John, who married Juliana, daughter of Rev. George Wilson of Corbridge in
	Northumberlan and had children John and Julia; Robert, Lieutenant in 61st
	Regiment; George Ogle, the Revd.; and Edward, M. D., R. A.
	Ref:  Burke Abstracts, Vol. 39, page 72, in the N. of Ireland Record Office.
	(That John Verner was probably the "natural" son of Robert who died in 1747.)
16 Nov 1762.  Diocese of Armagh will; probated 20 Oct 1767.
	Elizabeth Varner of County Tyrone and parish of Clonfeakle and town of
		Lissdermott, widow.
	To my daughter Joan 1/- and my clothes.
	To my sons John Varner and Robert Varner all my effects within and without, but
		my son Robert to have ?1.2.9 first.
	Appoint John Shillington and Joseph Shillington exors.
	In witness whereof.                   Elizabeth (her mark) Varner.
	Witnesses:   James Jenkinson and Joseph Shillington.
	Probate to Robert Varner, son of Testatrix 20 Oct 1767.
	(The identity of that Elizabeth is not clear.  The David who died in 1754
	reportedly had a wife named Elizabeth who died in 1767, but their children
	reportedly had names that were different from the ones in this will.  See my
	comments of the 1747 will above.  On the other hand, David's will was written in
	1747, and he did not die until 1754, so perhaps he had other children during that
	interim.  Perhaps she was the widow of the John of Termacrannon.  Maybe her
	name was Mary Elizabeth.)
1763.  Mary Verner to wed John Sparks.  Ref:  Armagh Marriage Licence Bonds.  (It is
	not clear which Mary that was.)
20 Oct 1767.  Probate of the will of Elizabeth Verner of Lisdermot, County Tyrone that
	was written 16 Nov 1762.  Ref:  Armagh Administration Bonds 1742-1857 and
	Diocese of Armagh wills.
24 Sep 1768.  George Spencer of Loughgall, merchant, contracted to wed Anne Verner,
	eldest daughter of Mathias Verner of Eagerlougher, Loughgall, and charged his
	estate with a ?30 per year jointure to pay the agreed ?300 marriage portion.
	Ref:  listed as "M. S.", which was apparently a form of marriage contract.
	(That Mathias was probably the son of Edward who was named in the 1740 will.
	See my comments of the 1748 item above.  One of those items must have a typo.)
12 Nov 1768.  Deed registered, place not clear, but appears to be Antrim, in which
	Thomas Verner of Dublin was a party to the deed.  Ref:  Register of Deeds.
	Record number:  270.396.172892.  (See my comments of the deeds of 1751 and
	1754 above.)

27 Jun 1776.  Baptism of Martha Verner.  Ref:  Magill's copy of Antrim Register in the
	Pres. (presumably Presbyterian) Historical Society in Belfast.
ca 1777-80.  Probable birth of James (or John) Verner, fourth son of James of Church
	Hill.  (See the comments under his tombstone data listed under 23 Nov 1814
	below.  A transcription says that the son was James, whereas an abstract says
	John.  It appears that his age at death was probably misread or miswritten, and a
	pedigree says that he was born ca 1777.)

		(Composite of 	two transcriptions.)
	Thomas Verner of Church Hill, County Armagh, Esq.

	To Hon. Thomas Knox of Farm Hill, Esq., Hon. Lt. Col. Henry Pringle of
	Calledon, and William Pringle of same, Esq., all in County Tyrone, and Robert
	Levingston of Armagh, County Armagh, Esq., my real and freehold estates and
	leasehold interests wheresoever situate upon trust to pay the several annuities
	herein bequeathed and then in trust to pay the remainder of my debts and then to
	apply the profits of said estate to manure and cultivate same so as to render them
	fit for tillage and production of corn, the moory and heathy lands in County
	Tyrone which I purchased from Rt. Hon. Earl of Charlemont and Hamilton
	Gorges, Esq., respectively and the uncultivated lands I am seized of in Parishes of
	Tartaraghan, Killyman, and Clonfeacle, County Armagh, they to expend ?21,000,
	viz. ?1,000 on the lands in County Armagh and ?20,000 on the lands in County
	Tyrone and said Trustees to appoint a person to manage, conduct and superintend
	said works at rate of ?30 a year and also appoint a person to collect the rents of
	sd. lands when improved and set to tenants at rate of 1/o in the ?1, and after said

		?25 each until married.
	Said annuity left to said Sarah McMollen and the legacies and annuities to her
		said children to be deemed in full of a debt for which I executed a bond
		previous to her marriage and as part of her marriage portion.
	Whereas previous to the marriage of my nephew James Verner I granted him a
		rent charge of ?100 a year for life charged on my freehold lands in County
		Meath, I confirm same and leave to each of his children (William only
		excepted) ?100.
	To John Crampton and Mr. Henly Higginbotham both of city of Dublin, gents.
		?300 each to be divided amongst their children.
	My estate to be held by said Trustees (after my debts are paid) in trust as follows:

	Appoint said Robert Levingston, Esq., Thoams McCan of Armagh, Esq., and 
		William Pringle of Caledon, County Tyrone, Esq., exors,
	and if said Robert Levingston will be so kind for four years after my decease to 		receive the rent of my estate I leave him ?100 yearly during said four years.
	In witness whereof 12 March 1788.             Tho. Verner.
	Witnesses:   Jos. Gore, Edward Gore, David Darling.
	Probate to Robert Levingston and Thomas McCann, Esqs. two of the exors, 
		saving right of said William Pringle, 23 Aug 1788.
	(That Thomas Verner was the son of the Henry who died in 1724.  He married an
	heiress Margaret Kerr, but they were childless, so the above mentioned nephew
	James was the son of Thomas's older brother David.  The above will lists James's
	children as William, John, David, and Thomas, whereas an Irish pedigree
	obtained by Pat Verner of Herndon, VA also listed a son James and a daughter
	Elizabeth.  See the confusing item of 1814 below.)
1790.  Ezekiel Verner to wed Mary Henry.  Ref:  Armagh Marriage Licence Bonds.
4 Aug 1791.  Death of Thomas Clarke, Esq. of Summer Island, according to his
	tombstone in the Clarke enclosure at Loughgall, which says, "... Also the remains
	of his brother Thos. Clarke Esqr. formerly resident of the same Place who died the
	4th day of August 1791."  (Thomas shares a common Flat stone with his brother
	William who died in 1798.  "Place" refers to Summer Island as listed in the first
	part of the inscription about William in the next item below.)
30 Mar 1798.  Death of William Clark, Esq., of Summer Island, "age 4[ ]".
	"Underneath this stone are deposited the remains of William Clark late of
	Summer Island in the County of Armagh, Esqr. who departed this Life the 30th
	day of March 1798 in the 4[ ]th year of his age. ..."  The transcription continues
	under his brother Thomas above, who died in 1791.  (The listing of the age
	implies that the age was illegible but was forty-something.  The brothers share a
	common Flat stone in the Clarke enclosure at Loughgall.)
23 Nov 1814.  Death of James (or John) Verner, Esq., age 54 (probably about 34), fourth
	son of James of Church Hill, according to his tombstone in the Clarke enclosure
	at Loughgall.  (A transcription says the name was James, whereas a different
	abstract says John.)  "Here lieth the Body of James Verner Esqr., fourth Son of
	James Verner Esqr. of Church Hill in the County of Armagh who departed this
	life the 23rd Day of November 1814 aged 54 years. ... "  The transcription
	continued under the older James and Mrs. Verner below.  ((It appears that the age
	listed for that James is wrong.  The older James was the son of David who was
	named in the 1788 will of David's brother Thomas.  However, Thomas's will
	listed a great-nephew John, but not one named James.  The transcription could be
	wrong, or the tombstone might have been misread, or the age might have been
	inscribed wrong.  Based on the ages listed, the elder James would have been born
	ca 1746 and the younger James ca 1760.  The age listed for Mrs. Verner implies
	that she was born ca 1751, so she would not have had children until about 1770.
	If James (or John) was her fourth child, he would have been born ca 1780.  An
	Irish pedigree provided by Pat Verner of Herndon, VA says that James was born
	in 1777, which was probably an estimate, so I suspect that his age at death was
	probably about 34 or 37, not 54.  It appears that a Flat stone is shared by the
	younger James, the older James who died in 1822, and Mrs. Verner who died in
	1827, which does imply a son and his parents.))
 6 Dec 1822.  Death of James Verner of Church Hill, age 76, according to his tombstone
	in the Clarke enclosure at Loughgall.  The transcription continues from the one
	of the James who died in 1814 above,  "... Also the body of James Verner of
	Church Hill in this County Esqr. who departed this life the 6th day of December
	1822 aged 76 years. ...."  (The transcription is continued under Mrs. Verner
	below, who appears to have been his widow Jane, nee Clarke, daughter of Henry
	Clarke. It appears that one Flat stone is shared by that James, the James or John
	who died in 1814, and Mrs. Verner who died in 1827.  See the comments above
	and below.)
23 May 1827.  James Verner of Antrim wed Martha Irwin.  Their son James was born
	29 Aug 1828 and baptized 2 Sep 1828.  Ref:  Magill's copy of Antrim Register in
	the Pres. (presumably Presbyterian) Historical Society in Belfast.
26 Aug 1827.  Death of "Mrs. Verner" of Church Hill, age 76, according to her
	tombstone in the Clarke enclosure at Loughgall.  The transcription continues from
	the one of the James who died in 1822 above, "... Also the body of Mrs. Verner of
	Church Hill in this County who departed this life the 26th August 1827 aged 76
	years.   (It appears that one Flat stone is shared by Mrs. Verner, the James or John
	who died in 1814, and the James who died in 1822.  Being in the Clarke enclosure
	suggests that her maiden named was probably Clark.  See the comments above.
	Her apparent birthyear of ca 1750-52 and burial place suggest that she was Jane,
	nee Clarke, wife of James Verner who was born ca 1746, son of David who was
	baptized in 1708, and grandson of the Henry who died in 1724.  A pedigree
	furnished by Pat Verner of Herndon, VA supports that conclusion.  James and
	Jane were the parents of Sir William Verner, Esq. of Church Hill, who was the
	first baronet.)
29 Aug 1828.  Birth of James Verner, son of James Verner and Martha Irwin who wed
	in 1827 above.  James was baptized on 2 Sep 1828.  Ref:  Magill's copy of Antrim
	Register in the Pres. (presumably Presbyterian) Historical Society in Belfast.
