Adam Averill, Methodist Minister, Scottish Origin, Scottish Plantation, west cork, West Cork Somervilles
Methodist Minister, Rev. Adam Averill, 1799, on possible Scottish Origin, of West Cork, Swanton family and reputed Scottish Plantation, Castlehaven/Skibbereen c 1690s, Andersons, Hamiltons.
It is interesting that the West Cork Somervilles, descend from a Rev. Somerville who fled to Ireland from persecution in Scotland c 1690 and may coincide if there was such a Plantation.
Re the names Hamilton may be Scottish or a corruption of an old Gaelic name.
The Swantons have a tradition of industry, hard work and dissent which some would say are Scottish virtues.

Some Birth, Marriage and Death Records from 1592 of Church of Ireland, Methodist, Quaker and old Catholic Families, Skibbereen District, West Cork and Rochester, New York.
From around 1820 Catholic Records are generally available on irishgenealogy.ie. There was significant intermarriage in the 18th and 19th century and by looking up a ‘Protestant’ name on this site you come across intermarriage or neighbours acting as sponsors in baptisms or witnesses on marriage.
Protestant records suffered from being sent to Dublin Public Records Office for safe keeping and may were destroyed in 1922. Sometimes by accessing Canadian, US, Australia an British records it is possible to make up some of the gaps.
These records are a mere snapshot.

The ending of the Napoleonic Wars withe Battle of waterloo caused a huge collapse of farm prices and triggered a widespread depression. In the greater Bandon area this was worsened by the dependance of the textile industry much home based which could not withstand competition from England.
There are many accounts of widespread distress among Bandon weavers.
