Hello, fellow researchers (a non-sexist greeting), Any stray facts about the following will be appreciated: Maurice Fitzgerald married Ellen, (bpt. 21 May 1786) daughter of John & Margaret (Casey) Keating of Glencallaghan Townland, near Burncourt, Tipperary, Parish of Ballysheehan (now part of Clogheen Parish). They had a number of children, John, Ellen, Catherine, Maurice, etc., including my great grandfather, Thomas Fitzgerald (bpt. Burncourt, Dec. 1809) who married Hannah Curtin in a church not yet identified. She was probably a daughter of either James & Mary (Gorman) Curtin, or John & Ellen (Crotty) Curtin of the same parish(?). Thomas & Hannah resided on and worked land belonging to the Callaghan Viscount Lismore (a townland called Toormor just west of Burncourt) until shortly after 1850. They are next located on 1 April 1855 producing a son, John, and buying a farm in Town of New Hartford, Oneida County, NY that same day. Thomas and Hannah attended St. John's RC Church, Utica,NY, until a Catholic Church was built in New Hartford. Their son John married Georgianna Mitchell, and they contributed to the growth of the area by producing Robert, Agnes, Margaret, Mary, John, William, George, Charles, and Howard Fitzgerald. Any stray facts or fiction about any of the above will be enjoyed at this end. Chuck FitzGerald in green, damp and cool, Montrose, PA.
