Question about this list on the County Tyrone page... from what year is the list and what is the source? Were the patrons living in IRE or were some schools sponsored by someone who had emigrated? How would one go about finding out more about a certain school? I ask, as there is name listed that might be an ancestor of mine... and his Irish origins have proven to be rather elusive. He immigrated to the US in 1830 at the age of 20, arriving apparently by himself in Baltimore, and his obituary states that he was born in the "town of Liphaven, county of Tyrone, Ireland".
