Research Notes...

• Wife Bridget's obit suggests they were married in 1836, but it's possible they were married before coming to the US?
  • Known Children: Margaret (Maryland), Thomas, William, Nicholas, James (my GGF), Matthew. Total of 8 born only 6 living in 1903.
• Headstone (FAG) gives BOD 1806
• Loads of newspaper clippings... that gives DOD for both him + wife
• Great-great granddaughter Connie's DNA is barley Irish, but rather Scottish // possibly his ancestor immigrated form Scotland to Ireland?
