Always learning. Born, bred and still living on the most easterly point of Northern Ireland - the Ards Peninsula - 18 miles across the sea from Scotland. I do lots of things- design, music, talks, trying to be a husband and father. This blog isn't an example of great quality writing or research, it's just a scrapbook pointing towards content that's of interest. © the author; contact me for permissions
This is how Maghera-born Charles Thomson described in heraldic terms his sketch for the proposed Great Seal of the United States of America, in which he had been assisted by William Barton, the son of a Monaghan minister Rev Thomas Barton.
The similarity with the name of the 1636 emigrant ship ‘Eagle Wing’ is tantalising.
