COLQUHOUNs of Donegal -- Plantation Land Sales, c1610

Classification: Query
Surnames: Colquhoun, Colhoun
I am researching the Colquhouns of Comstrodden from their establishment in 1385 in Stirling to their purchase of Plantation Lands in Corkagh, Labidish, Co. Donegal, Ireland, ca 1610
.
I am in possession of numerous pages of documents submitted to the Lord Lyon of Ireland for safekeeping, by Irish Colquhouns/Colhouns. These documents are in the form of pedigrees, and were probab ly made out from Colquhoun documents from the time of Umfridus de Colquhoun to the 1850's.
Since there are two main lines of the Colquhoun s of Luss; the LUSS line and the COM-
STRODDEN line th at went to Ulster at the same time, and remained very close to each other, there was bound to be a lot of inter-marrying. They were all cousins, you know. And they seemed to have changed the spelling of their name to COLHOUN at just about the same time. Naturally, this presents a very difficult genealogical challenge to "sort things out" and make things right.
Therefore, I need to contact a Colquhoun researcher who is familiar with the Colquhouns of Comstrodden in Ulster and their Scottish ancestors. ( I have a copy of Ellen R. Johnson's "COLQUHOUN/CALHOUN and their Ancestral Homelands". She is descended from the Comstrodden line, but does not discuss their residency in Ulster or their descendants.
