That set of ggrandparents were Thomas Reed (circa 1825) and Catherine Pendergast (b. 1830) We're not at all sure where the Reeds came from other than what was defined as the "Irish Free State". The Pendergasts came from Mayo. Another set of gg's were Michael Quinn (1840) -b. Northern Ireland, and Katharine Hughes (1842) Irish Free State. Yet another set - Patrick Howe (1834)-b. Galway, and Nellie Doherty (1838) - Mass. Jeremiah McCarty/McCarthy - (1813)-b. Cork and Ellen Barry (1813) -b. Cork Any links? Ann
