They came over from Ireland (Monaghan, Caven, Armagh is my understanding) along with 5 of their kids. They ended up in Ohio. I would also be happy to share any of my family history. I would love, love, love, to find the parents of John Cranston and/or Mary Moore. I researched the whole tree and not just my line. I know we had folks settle in South Dakota but haven't found anyone in Canada. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
