Ancestry.com has the New York Emigrant Savings Bank records on-line and I see a John Martin, born 1826 County Tyrone, married to Bridget Clark (account 8098). He states that he emigrated to America on "St Patrick" in 1847. Another bank record gives his father as Thomas and his mother as Rose Mullins and states he emigrated in 1846--so I assume these are the records that you speak of. He has an earlier account--#704 which is referred to in a later record--and this account test book gives his townland of origin: Nat. Kulkeivagh(??), parish of Longfield, Co. Tyrone, came 5 yrs last Sept. on Ship St Patrick from Liverpool, father Thomas dead 14 yrs mother Rose Mullin living in Keilkervagh (??), 3 bro ??, Chas, Michael & 3 sisters Catherine, Ellen, & Ann single works on C Ferry for 3 yrs next July. [John Martin was a Boatman for the Calvary Cemetery Ferry] Some people have all of the luck! If you need a copy of this record just email me privately at laurelbaty@comcast.net Other possible sources for his townland of origin: 1) Military records--was he in the Civil war? Did he have a pension? Were any of his brothers in the War? Military records often give townland of birth in Ireland. 2) Naturalization records--was John Martin or any of his brother naturalized? -----Original Message----- From: cotyroneireland-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cotyroneireland-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Carolyn Cowart Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 1:07 PM To: cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com Subject: [CoTyIre] Martin family Hello, I need some advise,please. I am researching my Martin family and am at a stand still. From everything found so far, brothers, James, John, Joseph and Michael came to the United States to New York between 1840 and 1858. John and Michael remained in New York.They supposedly married sisters, Bridgett and Ann Clark.Death certificates and bank records state they were born in Co. Tyrone. Bank records gave their parents as Thomas and Rose Mullins Martin.Not having made contact with any possible descendants in N.Y.how would I began to find what town, village,ect. in Co. Tyrone they were from?Also, the name McKenny/McKenna/McKinney is closely related here. Two McKenny ladies, Ellen and Rosanna are living with the Martins in N.Y.and are buried in the family plot. According to their death certs. their parents were, James McKenny and Ellen Martin and John Mc Kinney and Rosanna Martin.Any help or suggestion appreciated. Thank so much.
