This is "pie in the sky" I know, but my mother and father bought a farm in S.Hamilton in upstate NY above Binghamton in 1934. I was born there and about a year later my parents either lost the farm--little to no income--or my father had to find other work, but they moved back to Brooklyn. I tried to figure out how they chose that particular place above others since they were living in Queens/Brooklyn area before that. There were Doyles listed in the upstate area and I always wondered if any had been related to our family. I asked my late Uncle Ed Doyle who past away at 90. He could not remember why they chose that area and said maybe it was very cheap and listed in early farm catalogs. But it always puzzled me as to why they went so far away from the NYC area. My Gr grandfather, Dennis (DEnis) Doyle and his mother, Elizabeth (Betty) came from Dublin, together right before the Civil War. Apparently, they exited the ship and found living quarters in lower Manhattan. Dennis married Mary Boshell around 1863 or so. ('Don't have the facts in front of me right now.) We have no idea of what happened to Edward Doyle, Dennis' father or if Dennis or his father, Edward, had any siblings. On an early 1880 census I saw a Patrick Doyle and a Mary Doyle living close to where my gr grandfather and his mother lived. Were they related? I have no idea. Since lots of Irish arrived in the US through Canada I am thinking that possibly we had some relatives up there in the northern part of the state--maybe dairy farming. The manufacturing jobs were either in Ma, CT., and in NY ...So maybe they followed the jobs away from the farms.

No connection. My family came first to Canada-Hamilton Ontario about 1834, then to Trumbull County Ohio, on foot, a couple of years later. They returned to their home in Co. Wicklow when adequate funds had been saved to make the journey and bring most of the family back with them in May of 1942. Again they journeyed to Trumbull Co., but my 1850 had bought farms, tow of them, in Mercer Co. PA. That would be Patrick, Mark, Mary and Bridget as well as father William, mother Anne had died in Ireland. One brother James, bought a farm in Jefferson, Ohio. Two other brothers, Peter and William, traveled on to Chilton Wisconsin where they remained and also engaged in farming. If anyone sees any connection with any of these families of DOYLEs, I have more information.
