Hello,
I'm looking for ancestors of Samuel Sturgeon (born in Tyrone County, Ireland about
1785) and Mary Olivia or Olivia Mary Innes Sturgeon (born about 1796 possibly in Antrim
County, Ireland). Samuel's father was also Samuel. I don't know Samuel's
mother or Olivia's parents but since the family often used the mothers' maiden
names as middle names for their sons, I think one of their mothers (or grandmothers) must
have been a Candee. One of their sons was Jeremiah Candee Sturgeon.
I'm just starting out researching this idea but I'm looking for Candees from
Tyrone or Antrim Counties in the 1760s to the 1840s who married a Sturgeon or an Innes.
I'm not sure of the spelling of Innes, could be Ines.
I'd appreciate any information or suggestions you can offer.
Thanks,
Kathy
