Linda, my husband's gggrandmother was Bridget Derrig, dau of Julia Moran and Patrick
Derrig. She supposedly came to this country with her sister Catherine (Derrig) Coleman
and Catherine's husband Michael arount 1851. She married George Madden in Cincinnati
in 1854 and migrated to Daviess Co. IN soon after. I thought they were from Mayo co.
Ireland but I find a Patrick Derrig listed as a flax grower in 1796 in Sligo co. Ireland.
I can't find any ship records or any information in Mayo co. Do you know when William
arrived in the USA? On my husband's mother's side, she is from a line of
Fitzgibbons. The first one to arrive here was a Michael who was married to a Julia
Lindergan. They were first found in KY but Michael died and Julia married Michael
O"Connor and moved to Daviess co. IN after 1840 Hope to hear from you. Mary Lou
