John Story
-
Name John Story - Burke's Irish Family Records - "This family originally came from Cumberland and later resided Nr Hexham, Northumberland"
- The Story's came from the north of England. Family records tell us that one John Story, an English gentleman, squandered his estate, sold his family place Bingfield Hall near Hexham in Northumberland, went to Clogher in County Tyrone, Ireland, under the auspices of Bishop Ashe in 1697* and settled at Corick, where he built his new family home.
There is mention of three sons, Thomas, Joseph and Benjamin, through there were probably more. His grave stone is in Clogher church yard.
*Sir George Ashe was succeeded by J. Sterve in 1717; so that the exact year of the family moving to Ireland is uncertain.
