Hello Kimberley -- As you look through the book, please keep an eye out for any Hart folks. I would SO appreciate any information, as I am having a block on my Samuel Hart who married Rebecca Kelly in Ireland before they went to Canada. I know that Samuel Hart was born in 1812 or 1814 or 1815 in Ireland (family memories say Co. Cavan was our homeland), and I know that he died in 1865 or 1866 in Canada. Rebecca Kelly m. Samuel Hart in Ireland. I don't know where. I believe they were Presbyterian. They emigrated to Canada by 1835 or earlier, based on the ages of their Canadian-born children in an 1842 census. Their male children, all born in Canada, were Maurice (Morris), James, Samuel, John, and their female children were Martha, Jane, Agnys ("Nancy"), and Anna Bella. One of their children, Maurice, had at least one child, a boy named Samuel. And I know much information from that point on. But I do not have any information about Samuel Hart's parents. Do you have any other sources you might suggest, for me to find more about his forebears? Thanks so much -- maybe they were in your book - wouldn't that be a miracle?

Karen, I will be happy to keep my eyes open for any Hart's or Kelly's. You have a tough search with no parish or townland to help you focus in on! Here are a few links to miscellaneous sites with the HART name and Co. Cavan references. Maybe they will add some pieces to your puzzle! An interesting note is that there is a Hart/McElwaine connection in Fort Covington NY, thought apparently no direct link to your HART's or my McELWAINE's!!! So goes it in this game! I'll let you know if I find anything Kimberley http://www.ulsterancestry.com/ua-free_president.html http://www.iol.ie/~galwill/histhart.htm http://www.irelandgenweb.com/~cavan/surnamelist.html http://www.cmcrp.net/OtherCty/Cavan1821-1.htm http://bbs.vic.ie/WebX?14@55.hNtLaTtFIYM.0@.ee70da0/34 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cush and Karen Anthony" <cushkaren@gwi.net> To: <IRL-CAVAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 8:28 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-CAVAN] History of Knockbride Book wanted > Hello Kimberley -- > As you look through the book, please keep an eye out for any Hart folks.

Karen, Have you gone through a Griffith's Valuation for Knockbride already? I don't know wheether all that information is available on-line now or not; I know I've found a good bit on Killinkere and some other parishes. This book has the lists for Knockbride and it shows an Owen Kelly in Lisdonan....a Michael Kelly and a Bridget Kelly in Skeagh...a John Kelly, Sr. and a John Kelly, Jr. and a Patrick Kelly (apparently with a Patrick Cooney) in Killaliss...a John Kelly in Latsey...but no Hart's. In a list of Registered Weapons in Knockbride 1799-1833 it has a William Kelly in Cappy - 1 gun, 1 pistol, 1 sword, 2 bayonets...again no Hart In a list of "The Skeagh Estate Statistics - 1829" in which the author talks about tenants of Sir George Hodson, the Baronet who owned the Skeagh Estate (1591 acres) the following names appear: in Cappy: John Kelly, William Kelly in Corrakeeran: Robert Kelly with an undertenant of William McKelvey in Lisdoonan: Owen Kelly in Skeagh: William Adams with undertenants including Bridget Kelly, Michael Kelly Still further back is a list of 1820 Principal tenants in Cappy: Alexander Kelly, John Kelly Got to run take my kids to the pool, but I'll get back with you later on any more that I may find. If any of this information is new to you and you would like to know more, let me know and I will scan you the page. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cush and Karen Anthony" <cushkaren@gwi.net> To: <IRL-CAVAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 8:28 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-CAVAN] History of Knockbride Book wanted > Hello Kimberley -- > As you look through the book, please keep an eye out for any Hart folks.
