Carey - McMullen

Looking for parishes where a Richard Carey (b~1790) could meet a Margaret McMullen to be married in time to emigrate to USA through St. Lawrence River / OgdensburgNY DEC 1819. It appears they traveled with Margaret's father Enos McMullen and brother Enos McMullen (jr.). 

Naturalization application in Ohio states all males from Antrim - nothing more specific. 

I have used the John Grenham site and can see likely locales for such a boy-meets-girl meeting. Inquiring here for more expertise.

Definitely Rom Cath.

Family "story" that one of the above was a "revolutionary" wanted by the Brits. I cannot see in 1815-1819 any significant 'revolutionary' activities but likely some ongoing 'issues'.  

Birth of son Bernard Carey in Ogdensburg is the 'anchor' event. 1 DEC 1819. Might Bernard be a family name/hint? Later children are Daniel, Cath, Mary, Ellen, Sarah; likely family names from either side.

Thanks for any insights you might offer.

Have visited several times, have research card at Trinity. Will be over again.

In Griffith’s Valuation of Antrim in 1862 the following McMullans were heads of household in Ballymoney. While your immediate ancestors had emigrated, there were likely family members still in Ballymoney.
