Migration of the Blackdent family

The New World beckoned as many of the settlers in Ireland, known as the Scotch/Irish, became disenchanted. They sailed aboard the armada of sailing ships known as the "White Sails" which plied the stormy Atlantic. Some called them, less romantically, the "coffin ships." Amongst the early settlers who could be considered kinsmen of the Blackdent family, or who bore a variation of the surname Blackdent were Elizabeth Blackden who settled in Boston Massachusetts with her husband in 1766; she alternately spelled her name Blackden, Blackdon, and Blackdoor.
