Dear Paul,
Mark and Anne Wright were my 8th great grandparents, which would Thomas and Catherine
Carlyle my 9th great grandparents. I am descended from Mark and Anne's son Thomas. He
married Elizabeth Deaves in Ireland. Their son Joseph Wright was a Quaker and married to
Ruth Eves. They lived in Co. Carlow. Their daughter Anna eloped with a local Catholic boy
named Laurence Nolan, and their firstborn James was a leader in the 1798 revolution. (

Anna and Laurence's second son, Edmund, married Elizabeth Doyle. Their daughter
Johanna Nolan married Charles Byrne of Ballyloughan. They had four children, and she died
soon after the last one, an only son, was born. His name was Thomas Byrne and he left for
America in 1848, selling Ballyloughan farm to his brother-in-law Ned Maher. In America he
built a farm in Illinois. His youngest son Will became my great grandfather. Will's
daughter Mary is my grandmother, and her son is my father. Here I am.
So how are we related?
I wish I had more information on Thomas and Catherine Carlyle for you. I can tell you that
Catherine's father's name was Samuel Richards. But I don't have any specifics
on him.
