Clonduff 1750 to 1775 seeking resources

DownClonduff (Down)

Interested to communicate with anyone who has researched any sources verifying families in Clonduff, Kinghill or Hilltown circa 1750 to 1775. If you have further details or know how to gain more details on any given individuals and their residence or business eneterprise, etc. at that time.

Does anyone know who the local historian is for the area, and particulary regards 1750 to 1775. We have contacted the Ulster Historical Society, but whose area of expertise seemed limited to certain proprietary collections.

Is there a genealogist historian student or volunteer who specializes in Clonduff, Kinghill, or Hilltown areas circa 1755 to 1775 (locally based or otherwise)? Is there anyone else who would be familiar with resident dwellings sources, parishoners, newspapers, community writings, journalists, socialites, or village chatter from that time period?

Thank you.
