Yes, the Rev. Andrew (1705/6-1761) was the younger son of the Rev. Roger (1674/5-1737), his elder being the Rev. John (b. Derry 1703) whom I mentioned a couple of hours ago. Though he held Kilrea (about 20 miles NE) for a couple of years, Andrew's main living was Ballynascreen, where he succeeded his father in 1737. Roger had held it from 1731, and Andrew did so from his father's death until his own in 1761. See attached snippets cheated out of Google Books' listing for 'The Clergy of Derry and Raphoe'. Roger's younger brother Robert (b. Lisburn c.1687-8) was also a clergyman; he had a son again called Roger (b. Dungannon c.1729-30), and that is another line I'm trying to explore. As well as the Clergy book (which needs to be looked at in person, as the online snippets don't cover all the Blackall references), much of the above and what follows is deduced from Alumni Dublinenses (https://bit.ly/2P6Mr2H) - the relevant Black(h)all page is also attached.
Andrew married.
Andrew next married Anne TORRENS, daughter of Rev. John TORRENS and Anne BLACKALL, after 1767. (Anne TORRENS was christened on 15 Jul 1747 and died about 1806 in Londonderry, Ireland.)
