Jeffries in her "The History of the Forsyth Family" published in 1910, claims that James Forsaith of Londonderry is identical to Captain James Forsaith of Failzerton.
James Forsaith of Failzerton was born in Ayrshire, Scotland in 1678. He was the son of Walter Forsyth, a Regent of the College and Subdeaneries of Glasgow and titular Baron of Dykes and Marguerite Forsaith, Vicomtess of Fronsac and direct descendant of the Denys family. He married Margaret Montogomerie, the daughter of Major Hugh Montogomerie of the Royalist Calvary. He was involved as a captain in the Earl of Mar's uprising for the Stuart cause in 1715, and as such, was forced to flee Scotland for Ireland. He must have been a Catholic, or he would have been fighting in support of William of Orange. He would have also been a man of property and wealth, as we find with his eldest son Matthew, who was known to have been born in 1699 and succeeded to the titles of Viscount de Fronsac and Baron of Dykes.
My assessment is that Jeffries claim is erroeous. If James Forsaith of Londonderry was the son of Walter, and father of Matthew, then his second son, James Forsaith the younger, would have to have been born about 1701/02, however since Alexander, the grandson of James of Londonderry is known to have been born in 1747/48, James the younger would have been at least 45 years old. It is more probable that James the younger was born after 1710 and likely closer to 1720. Also, James of Londonderry is known to have signed the Petition of Ulstermen (Londonderry Roll) in 1718. It is not possible that a Catholic was a signer of that petition. Further, the Forsyth de Fronsac, who wrote "Forsyth of Nydie" in 1888 and "Memorial of the Family of Forsyth de Fronsac" in 1903, direct descendant of Matthew, and therefore most likely to know these family connections, made no such claim. He lists only Thomas and Alexander as brothers of Matthew.
All that we really know about James Forsaith of Londonderry is that he was Protestant and as such signed the Petition of Ulsterman on March 26, 1718 in Londonderry, Ireland. He, if we can believe Jeffries on these Irish connections, had a son James, and a grandson Alexander who came to America.
The Petition of Ulsterman was signed by 319 Scotch-Irish Protestant heads of families from three parishes located near Londonderry, Ireland, who were seeking to come to America. Londonderry was the location of one of the Protestants' final seiges in Ireland in 1689 in defence of King William of Orange. They kept hold up in the city for 105 days preventing the Catholic King James II from gaining control. Thirty years later, these Protestants of Londonderry were still living in the midst of Roman Catholic oppression. It was this oppression that led Rev. William Boyd in April of that same year to carry the petition to Governor Shute of Massachusetts Bay seeking permission to form a new colony. In August of 1718, 120 of those familes including Rev. James McGregor landed in Boston. James Forsaith of Londonderry was not among them.
Jeffries states that it was James the younger that signed the petition, but it is likely that he would have been a very young boy. "James Forsaith" is also the only family signature found on the petition, indicating that his was the only Protestant household of that name in the area - further evidence that it was the father, not the son that signed the petiton James of Londonderry would have to have been and adult to sign the petition, so he must have been born before 1697/98. According to Jeffries, "There were political troubles, and those who signed the Londonderry Roll were by this obligated to leave Ireland. James being an old man did not leave, but his son Alexander did." We know that Alexander left Ireland around 1770/75. James the younger would have probably been between 50 and 60 years of age, hardly old enough to be considered and old man, however, James of Londonderry, if born at the end of the 15th century and if still living, certainly would have been. Further indication that he was not James of Failzerton born in 1678.
It is also not possible that Jeffries simply left off a generation, because for if James Forsaith of Londonderry were to be considered a heretofore unknown son of Captain James Forsaith of Failzerton, he would have had to be the oldest son, and such would have succeeded to his titles and lands. We know of course that that honor went to Matthew.
It is unclear if fifty years after the signing of the petition, political troubles were still rife causing Alexander's departure, or if he left of his own accord seeking better fortunes.

Alexander Louis? Forsyth was born in 1746/47, in one of the counties of Antrim or Tyrone in Ireland. "Alexander Forsyth, Sr., for 40 years of Baltimore, died at his residence in Pennsylvania Avenue 23 April, 1829 in his 83rd year" (Baltimore American newspaper), in Baltimore County, Baltimore, Maryland. He was buried in Lot 71 of Glendy Cemetery, Second (Old Faith) Presbyterian Church. The graveyard was vandalized in the 1970-1980s, and the city moved all the graves to an unmarked burial ground in an unnamed cemetery. It is assumed his middle name is Louis; he was referred to as this in the Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin in the 1960s by a descendant. He married Rachel O'Neil, daughter of John O'Neill. She was born in 1750/1 also in one of the counties of Antrim or Tyrone in Ireland. She "died on the 2nd [May, 1840] inst, Rachel Forsyth, in the 90th year of her age" (Baltimore Sun newspaper, 5 May, 1840). She died at her home on Pennsylvania Ave., in Baltimore County, Baltimore, Maryland. She was buried alongside her husband. Some later sources list her as Rachel O'Neal.
Alexander is said by some to be the son of James Forsyth of Ayr, Scotland, however, I have never seen any evidence to support this. The only reference to this was published in "The History of the Forsyth Family", by Jennie Forsyth Jeffries, in 1920. This book does not reference any primary sources. The book, along with those written by Frederic Forsyth de Fronsac, appear to be fanciful accounts designed to link several of the Forsyth families to those earliest in history. Further evidence of the books unlikely history can be found in 1978, when the Lord Lyon, King of Arms of Scotland, recognized Alistair Forsyth of Ethie as the chief of the Forsyth Clan. He was recognized because his family could be traced back fifteen generations (1607), further than any other Forsyth. His descent, being recognized by the Lyon Court in Edinburgh, implies any other claimed descent from earlier Forsyth's is not valid. The books I refer to attempt to trace some Forsyth ancestries back twenty-nine generations to Guirand de Forsyth.
Rachel is said to be a member of the house of O’Neill, an ancient royal family of Scotland. A 1996 search by Jane Fitting using 'Catherine O'Neill's Historical Research Company' of North Ireland found no account of Rachel as a descendant of the royal O'Neill's. This research company keeps every titled pedigree of all spellings of O'Neill in Ireland's history. Possibly, descendants have assumed she was of royal descent because her last name was O'Neil. It has also been assumed that she was married at Shane's Castle, as this was the seat of the O'Neill's, however, no record of this has been found. It has also been shown that the last ruling O'Neill of county Tyrone in Ireland did not have a daughter named Rachel. The O'Neill's were known to be staunch Roman Catholics. Rachel, on the other hand was a devoted Presbyterian who despised all Catholics, and therefore was unlikely to have descended from the royal O'Neill's. Rachel disinherited her sons Elijah and Alexander because they married the Catholic Zell sisters, whom she treated with contempt. When Elijah drowned and his wife died a few years later, there was a fight between the Zell's and Rachel Forsyth over the orphans. Rachel ended up with the sons. She was a strong and domineering woman. Her grandchildren hated her, and as soon as the orphans were old enough, they left and never saw her again. Some of Rachel's daughters, and grandchildren became Catholics, including several nuns and a priest. She never spoke to them. Alexander’s grandson Elijah remembered him as "a disabled old man as he went about his home". He also remembered his grandmother, Rachel O’Neal, as having "a real Irish wit, alert, and quick in thought and action".
Alexander and Rachel came to the United States in the latter part of the 18th century. They were in Hanover, Heidelberg Township, York County, Pennsylvania, according to the 1775, 1780 and 1783 (9 inhabitants, 1 lot, 1 house) tax lists. He applied there for tavern licenses from 1779-1785. He apparently leased the property there where his tavern was, as no land sales record has been found. He was drafted into military service on January 30, 1781, but there is no indication he ever served. They left Hanover between 1783 and 1787 and settled in Baltimore, Maryland, where he was also a tavern keeper. His tavern was located at 104 N. Howard St. in Baltimore, and was called either Indian Queen Tavern, or Kings Tavern, or Old Indian King Tavern, or Kings Own Tavern. In 1787, he carried on business in Congress Hall. He appears in the records being taxed for a tavern license there in 1789. He appears in the 1790 U.S. Census in Baltimore Town, Baltimore County, Maryland (Roll: M637_3). His tavern license apparently became insolvent in 1791, but then in 1792 he was once again taxed for the license. On August 16, 1794 he leased land from John E. Howard. In 1795 he was granted a tavern license, and on February 7, 1797 transferred his lease to Caleb Hewitt. In 1798, he paid $256.67 (half of the yearly total) for 1/2 acre (probably a lease). He is missing from the 1800 Census, but many names were missing as the census taker was prosecuted for being drunk and skipping districts, including Alexander's. Two Alexander Forsyth's appear in the 1810 Federal Census in Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Prct 1, Maryland (page 386, MDS1a1126661, MDS1a1126666), probably he and his son. He appears in the 1819 tax list, and in the 1820 Federal Census in the 6th Ward of Baltimore County, Maryland.
Alexander wrote his will on December 20, 1828. He died the following April. The will was probated on May 18, 1829 in Baltimore. On December 19, 1829, Rachel renounces her position as executor. On January 12, 1830, his estate was inventoried, and the account of sales was drawn up on November 25, 1830.
Rachel wrote her will on August 23, 1836, but did not die for almost 4 years. During that time, on November 16, 1837 their was an administrative inventory of Alexander's property, 3 days after, the 1st administrative account was issued. The 2nd administrative account was issued on March 31, 1838. Rachel died in March of 1840, and her will was probated on June 14, 1840. A third administrative account of Alexander's property was not filed until January 15, 1841. On December 10 of the same year, there was an account of sales for Rachel's property filed.
Alexander and Rachel had the following children:
Isaac (abt 1770- bet 20 Dec 1828 and 2 Oct 1831) m. Francis Brown
William (1778 - 14 Apr 1839) m. Lydia Everson

David Haley, son of Edward Haley and Catherine, was born about 1720, probably in King & Queen County, Virginia. In 1727, his family moved to a plantation on the North Anna River in Spottsylvania County (now Orange County), Virginia. By 1739, his father had set aside 120 acres of land for him, but in 1741, when his sister Valentine married James Herndon, the land was given to them instead. Being a younger son, there was no land left for David when he came of age, so he apparently moved to what would later be Halifax County, Virginia where he was awarded a grant of 5000 acres on the Stinking River. After Halifax became a county in 1752, David served as a sheriff. Soon after, however, David begins to have troubles: On March 21, 1753, a suit is filed by Thomas Hilton against David Haley for trespass, assault, and battery. The suit was later dismissed. On September 16, 1753, John Savory won a judgment against David for £3-10. Then on November 21, 1753, a suit was filed by William McDaniel against David Haley for assault, and battery. This suit was also dismissed. On September 20, 1754, the King's Prosecuter filed and indictment against David for willful and corrupt perjury.
In 1754, David was granted 400 acres in Indian Grove on Smith River, in Halifax County in an area that would later be Henry County. Indian Grove was just north of the town of Bassett, where Boing Creek empties into Smith River. It is now covered by the waters of Philpott Lake. On August 22, 1755, David patented 137 acres on the north side of Sandy Creek in Halifax, County. This was near where three of his brothers also patented land. On September 10, 1755, he patented another 30 acres on the north side of Smith River, in Halifax County, and an additional 40 acres on the south side.
At the October, 1755 term of the Halifax County Court, he was granted a license to keep an ordinary (tavern) at his dwelling.
On January 20, 1757, he sold the Smith River lands for £40, and then on August 16, 1759, he sold the Sandy Creek lands for £49-8.
At the August, 1759 Halifax County Court, he was accused of stealing 20 shillings, but was proved not guilty and released.
On March 26, 1763, David apprenticed his son Isaac to James Weeding to serve Weeding until 21 years of age to learn to be a farmer. At the July 1763 Halifax County Court, David Haley's Indenture to James Weeding was proved by the oath of Abraham Ardin.
At the June 1764 Halifax County Court, David was fined £10 for threatening to break into the jail and release a prisoner there, and placed on probation for a year and a day. David was found guilty of attempting to burn the jail of Halifax during this same session of court. The case was ordered carried to the General Court at the Capitol in Williamsburg. The outcome is unknown.
At the August 1767 Halifax County Court, James Weeding having died, David and Isaac filed suit against Weeding's executors to settle the apprenticeship account of Isaac.
On November 26, 1778, David Haley gave part of his remaining lands to the south of Smith River to his son David.
In 1780, he was acquitted of a Felony in the Henry County Court.
On March 30, 1783, his remaining land on the 'Arvine' or Smith River was used as security against a bond to the Commonwealth of Virginia. Later that year, on September 27, 1783, he sold his remaining lands on the Smith River for £100 and moved near the Clinch River in the northern part of Tennessee along with some of his sons' and daughters' families. He wrote his will on 5 September, 1806 in Anderson County, Tennessee. He probably died shortly thereafter.
