Hi,

Ballycarry is 2 miles North of Whitehead (which is at the mouth of Belfast Lough, 5 miles NE of Carrickfergus) and according to my book is " a quiet hilltop village, containing the ruins of Ireland's first Presbyterian church, built in 1613, which contains the grave of James Orr (1770 -1816), poet and United Irishman."

Slainte
