    3. Dear Folks: In addition to my posting a few days ago (see below) I have possibly additional information. Dear Folks: I am searching for the above names in County Tyrone. A biographical sketch circa 1901 of one of my ancestors states that my 3rd great grandfather John Winslow b. 19 September 1806 m. Eliza Devlin 31 July 1833, both "natives of County Tyrone." They had 10 children: Sarah, Robert, Eliza, William, Thomas, William Thomas, John, Olivia, Eliza and Jane. They moved to Dublin, Ireland 1842 or earlier. They left Dublin for America on the ship Constantine and arrived in NY in 1856 and then went to "Canada West" where John ran a hotel until 1860 when the family moved to Connecticut and linked up with my Boone family whom they knew in Dublin and possibly knew in County Tyrone. My 4th great grandfather is Andrew Boone, a farmer and his son is John Boone who m. 1. Sarah (?) and 2. 1850 m. Sarah Winslow, daughter of John Winslow. Both families were involved in the carpet making business in Dublin and Connecticut. Additional information: I found in the 1851 census for Thorold, Welland County, "Canada West" that other Winslows were there prior to my John. There was also an Alexander Winslow age 50 and family and a James Winslow age 55, grocer and family. Whether by coincidence or not, Alexander was the proprietor of The British Hotel there and my John (who was 45 in 1851) "kept a hotel [there] until 1860". I am working on the theory that these three are brothers from County Tyrone. I appreciate any information that I am on the right (or the wrong) trail. Thanks, Fred
