Hello Listers-- I'm trying to find my needle-in-a-haystack ancestor, Patrick Farrington. He was b. 1818-1822 in Ireland According to his obituary in 1889, "...He came to America from Ireland about fifty years ago, resided in New York city for ten years, married and then came to South Bend, which at that time was a small village..." So, he came to the US about 1839. His wife's name was Mary Manghan/Magher, who was b. abt. 1831. They were married sometime 1849-1855. The South Bend mentioned is South Bend, Indiana, where he moved sometime 1855-1858 and raised his children and lived out his life. All the children were born in Indiana. I have NO idea where in Ireland he came from, where in New York he lived, when he landed...in fact, you all now know EVERYTHING I know about ol' Pat Farrington. Any suggestions appreciated...
