My Thomas(my grandfather), was born in Westport in 1864. His father was James Doyle, b abt 1842; mother was Jane Curtiss. James apparently died young in Westport and his wife remarried John Junior. Thomas lived in NY, MA and VT. If anyone has any info re this james and his parents, I would appreciate hearing about it. Thanks in advance.
