(Most likely between 1800 and 1818) immigrated to the US. The census data indicates that my GGF's father was from MD on the 1890 census and Ireland on the 1900 so there is a conflict there. Since I have yet to give a name to his father and mother (who is from PA on both census') I am at a loss. I have requested GGF's Civil war records and pension application from the Natl. Archive and am awaiting their arrival. If there is anything there of use to you I will notify you.
