I don't have much to go on but she married William Carlton O'Rourke and had a son, Joseph in County Cavan in 1818. I don't have an exact date when they came to the US but she had two more sons in Essex County, NY in 1823 and 1825. They did change their name to Rork and Rorke after coming to the US. I am not sure there is a connection as I have never found her family. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
