Yes.  There are lots of us out there.  Linda Merle of the Scotch-Irish list
has started a website for those who descended from Rev. Martin's group:
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~merle/index.html .  That page contains a list
of passengers as reconstructed from the Colonial Council Land Grant records.
So the list isn't perfect.  Only heads of households show and, of them, only
those receiving land grants.  Folks who bought their land are not
represented.  You will also want to check on a book by Jean Stephenson on
this subject (it has just been reprinted) and another by Janie Revill.  They
don't agree entirely about which ship folks were on, but both are useful.
Also if you check the archives at rootsweb, you should find lots of
discussion over the last year or so on this topic.

I am descended from Mathew Kirk who was travelling with his older brothers
John and Robert.  The record is in John's name because he was the only one
old enough to receive a land grant in his own name.  Mathew was only 12.
There were Craigs on both the Lord Dunluce and the Hopewell.  There was a
Hewie on the Lord Dunluce.  There were Barbers on the Lord Dunluce and on
the Pennsylvania Farmer.  I had originally believed that the Kirks were on
the James and Mary, but it now seems more likely that they were on the Lord
Dunluce.  regardless of the location of their original land grants, many
seem to have wound up in the Waxhaw area of the Carolinas.  Ours were in
Lancaster County and I recognize your names as being there also.  In fact,
it seems to me that there are some later connections to the Hueys.  Happy
hunting.  Kathy Kirk, Birmingham, AL
