Jack,
Found out that my Aunt's grandfather (maternal) McLaughlin originally also
spelled the name with an 'o', but during the war the pay department spelled
it with an 'a' and it was either sign for it as McLaughlin or wait several
weeks for the pay change to take effect and get paid - hence the 'a'
My grandfather, William Comer, son of Patrick, was "farmed out" to Tom and Lizzie King in Edgeworthstown as a young boy (in the 1880s). William's family had moved to Manchester. The King family was still living in Edgeworthstown in at least 1927, as my father and my aunt remember going there then. Were they related to the Comers? Does anybody know about the Kings?

Rose Kearney married James MORAN in County Longford, Ireland.
They had several children, don't know all their names or dates:
Ann Moran, b 1826 m Richard Jeffreys in Essex Co, NJ, USA, 1848. She
emigrated in 1845 through a NY port, Elizabeth Twp, NJ. Then to Livingston
Co, MI abt 1860.
other children may be: Bridget, James, Edward, Thomas, Elizabeth and Mary.
Bridget came to live with sister Ann in Michigan. Thomas and James probably
also came to Michigan. Edward, Elizabeth, and Mary may have stayed in NJ.
Don't know if there were others or if the parents stayed in Ireland.

Seeking information about my gr. gr. grandfather, Edward Havey (spelling was probably changed). He was born in Co. Longford in Nov. 1815. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1844 (departure and arrival locations unknown). He became a naturalized citizen of the U.S. in 1850. He married a Catherine Farrall (sp. ?) in 1852. She died in 1856. Catherine may also have been from Co. Longford or nearby. They had two children, one of which survived (have no information about the one deceased). Edward resided in and around Brooklyn until 1885 when he migrated to Parke Co., Indiana, USA, to live his remaining years with his son, John (b. 1855 d. 1902). Edward died May 31,1888 in Parke Co., Indiana, USA. His obituary stated "he was"born and reared amongst catholic surroundings, he remained a staunch catholic and died in that faith".
Any information will be most appreciated.
Thanks,

I have been totally unsuccessful over the last 3 years in finding the origins
of my Famine Era Irish Immigrants to Lafayette County Missouri. Stretching my
imagination I've been looking for kin through sponsors to Catholic baptisms.
Recently I've found a family, Michael McINTYRE/McENTIRE and Mary
HERSON/HURSON that came from Columbkile (sp?) Co Mayo that may be related to
the HUGHES of Lafayette Co.
There are four HUGHES in the county during the late 1850's through 1880's.
I'm looking for any connections of the following that might have sent kin to
Missouri:
Anna b: ~ 1834 parents: John HUGHES and Ann/Ellen BLEE?/BLUET?/BLACK?
John b: ~1824 parents: John HUGHES and Mary HUGHES
Patrick b: ~1825 parents: unknown
James b: 1836 parents: James HUGHES and Brigid QUIGLEY/CRIGLEY
Patrick may have come into the country by about 1845. James came in about
1850 and I am uncertain regarding the rest.
Also, any suggestions on how to proceed to pursue these would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

Greetings from Montana Thomas. Thank you so much for the information!!
You helped me immensily. The two brothers I mentioned, Johnathan and
Lewis were names mentioned to me by a elderly lady in Texas who has
since passed on. The spelling of their names was way different. No
Faughns in my line found their way to Texas that I could find. My
William Faughan died 1758 in Surry Co. Virginia. His son John F. Faughn
changed name from Faughan to Faughn. William may have been a Fawn. some
records show that. He might have changed the name, cause he might have
been on the run. Some of the folks working on this think he might have
come over on a convict ship, did his time or split from some Brit. sugar
plantation in the carribean and made his way to Virginia or North
Carolina. They kept track of immigrant ships, but I don't they were as
much concerned about folks that were not loyal to the crown that were
being deported. Oh well. Thanks again so very much! I'll start with that
address you gave me and keep digging. My wife and I are plannng a trip
to Ireland in the near future, but first we must suffer thru another
Montana winter. Take care, Michael

Hi Michael,
I was curious to see if the name wasn't place founded and looked for a Townland in Ireland called Faughn, which gave :
Search Output
Townland Acres County Barony Parish PLU Province
Aghakilfaughna 36 Leitrim Mohill Mohill Mohill Connaught
Cloonfaughna 160 Mayo Costello Knock Claremorris Connaught
Drummanfaughnan 159 Leitrim Drumahaire Inishmagrath Manorhamilton Connaught
Kilfaughna 164 Roscommon Boyle Ardcarn Boyle Connaught
Kilfaughny 145 Westmeath Kilkenny West Kilkenny West Athlone
Leinster
4 of 5 of these townlands are in Connaught, two in Co. Leitrim,
Aghakilfaughna (Faughna field-woods; agha is a field, kil is a woods ),
and Drummanfaughnan (Faughnan Ridge). The others : Cloonfaughna =
Faughna Meadow ; Kilfaughna = Faughna Woods; Kilfaughny = Faughny Woods.
Westmeath is right next to Longford.
It might seem like a longshot, but after 18 years of looking ...
Another thing to look into is what Faughna means in Irish - I don't have
that in my very limited vocabulary. This could be an Irish translation of a
Plantation Brit name like Brown. (Like Gowan is Smith). Whatever, that
particular spelling seems to be local. It could be a translation from
another language - but Lewis and Jonathan are more British than Irish.
If you look for townlands with "Fawn", you'll find 18 more, 8 in Connaught,
of which 4 are in Leitrim.
BTW, I use http://www.seanruad.com/ to look for townlands.
There's also Faughalstown in Westmeath, about a mile from the Longford
border.
Good luck, I hope this helps,
Tom

I'm researching Faughn, Faughan, Faughnan Faughy, and last but not least
O'Faictnain from
Co.s Longford and Leitrim. My William Faughn died in 1768 in Surry Co.
Va. The Faughans just happen to miraculacy appear in America. Have spoke
with folks who say two brothers from Ireland showed up around 1735,
Jonathan and Lewis. Remarkable. If you ever run across this name or a
variation that comes close, Please let me know! Been stumped for about
eighteen years now and would appreciate any
info at all. Thanks, Michael O. Faughn

Hello,
I am new to the list and just discovered that my MCCORMICK ancestors came from County Longford. I have no idea what part yet but I thought that I would throw this out.
Richard MCCORMICK
+ Catherine CLYNE.
1. Richard MCCORMICK b. 1793 in County Longford, Ireland, d. 29 DEC 1846 in Java, Wyoming Co., NY.
2. Christopher MCCORMICK b. ABT. 1810 in County Longford, Ireland, d.9 DEC 1879 in Java, Wyoming Co., NY.
3. Son MCCORMICK.
4. Son MCCORMICK.
5. Daughter MCCORMICK.
Christopher immigrated to New Orleans but eventually settled in Java, Wyoming County, NY with his brother, Richard. I do not know if the other 3 children immigrated or if they stayed in Ireland.
Thanks,
Shawn McCormick

Here is some history of my relatives
1. Peter Michael McLoughlin, born January 10, 1884 in Druming,
Ballymahon,County Longford, Ireland; died October 20, 1967 in Worcester, MA.
He was the son of 2. John McLaughlin and 3. Mary Farrell. He married (1)
Margaret Kenny July 18, 1908 in Worcester, MA. She was the daughter of James
Kenny and Elizabeth Cox.
Margaret Kenny was from Carrickboy in County Longford. Her mother was
Elizabeth Sheridan Cox married to John Kenny.
That's all I know yet.

I read your list of names you are researching.
I too am researching FARRELL from County Longford. Which Farrell are
you researching? My interest is ANDREW FARRELL born abt 1802 in County
Longford. He came to U. S. and married Catharine Smith. They both died
in Daviess County, Indiana.

I have a reference in a family trip journal to Dublin, Edgeworthstown,
County Longford of a meeting with a Jim, Kathleen and Mick Kenny. It
states that my great uncle Frank Trimble's grandmother and Jim Kenny's mom
were sisters. The sisters were Margaret Keenan and ??? Keenan. Margaret
Keenan I assume was Jim Kenny's grandmother. There was also an allusion to
a family tie to a Matt Clark.
None of this may make sense to you, but our family, Trimble, came from
County Longford, in 1883 when the Widow Ellen Twaddle Trimble left Ireland
to avoid the Protestant persecution of my great grandfather who had
converted to Catholicism. Robert and Alexander both converted and this
apparently was a cause for concern at the time. They owned a farm in
Edgeworthstown until 1870, sold it and moved out of Edgeworthstown in 1873.
They came to the US in 1883 on the City of Richmond.
My curiousity was peaked when I saw the Margaret Kenny mention and the
McLoughlin name combined thought I would just write and see if there is any
connect at all or if this is all mere coincidence.
