Sheriff's Of Ireland Database

My earliest known Sheriff ancestor is George Thomas Sheriff, who appears in the 1790 (U.S.A.) Census for Union County, South Carolina, date of birth "ABT 1760 in Ireland". His wife was Jugalina Posey, also born in Ireland. He also appears in the 1800 Census for Clarendon County, South Carolina.
I would assume that they were part of the Scots Irish emigration to the southern US. I'd be very interested in any information relating to them.
