Scot Presbyterians came into the Ballybay area in significant numbers between 1690 and 1710. Many were families of soldiers who had fought in the Williamite War. There were eventually four congregations united under Ballybay: Derryvalley, Rockcorry, Cahans and First Ballybay. In addition to abundant secular as well as church historical information, there are many biographical sketches which include genealogical information about officers, ministers and other members of the congregation. Several Presbyterian group emigrations to America from Ballybay are discussed, one in 1763, known as the Cahans Exodus, arrived in New York in 1763. Part of this group went to the the Albany area, and part went to Long Cane, South Carolina. .
