Have you tried searching the Wiki for records in Antrim, Ireland? There are several different types of records listed. Try that and let me know if you are able to find anything. You also might consider a consultation with a staff member at the Family History Library. You can also find the directions for that in the Wiki. Here's the link:

Thank you, Lorene. I guess I will have to wait until COVID is over and people go back to the library.

Hello Hugh,
1700 to 1738 is indeed very early for Irish records. Probably 100 years before most Irish records.
On the positive side, County Antrim had a relatively stable population over a long time, with particularly family names dominating. If you can give some additional specifics that you have on the names and related dates of the individuals from County Antrim, someone in this community may be able to give you guidance on possible areas to explore.
Regards,
John.

A person called Bill McAfee did a tremendous amount of research for County Antrim. His website is well worth a perusal.
