More on the Ulster Covenant

At the time of the Ulster Covenant most of Joseph and Catherine Crozier's children were in America. One son, Alec was living at home in Moorfield. Another, Joseph, had spent some time in America but by 1912 was back in Ireland, married with a young son, Willie, working as a blacksmith and living in the townland of Meenagowan near Dromore. He also signed the Ulster Covenant and the image of the page bearing his signature is below.



My grandfather, Willie Crozier was still in America but would return to Ireland in November 1912 with his new bride, Margaret Caldwell, supposedly on honeymoon. Instead they remained in Ireland, settling in Trillick where Willie established a blacksmith's forge. Other relations of mine who signed were my maternal grandfather, William Johnston, and my great grandfather, James Caldwell, father of Margaret Caldwell Crozier.
