Dear Kay, My g-g-g-grandmother was named Bridget Timmons and was married to John O'Connor in Ireland. Their daughter, Anna/Ann, (B. 1822, Ireland) ended up in the upstate NY/Vt area. She married Edward McClure probably in the upstate NY area. Edward McClure was born in St. Michel, Ymaska, Quebec in 1820 and came to NY in the late 1820s with his parents and siblings. He was naturalized in Plattsburgh in 1841. Edward's and Ann's first child was born in Ohio in 1844. Apparently, Edward was working on a canal boat at the time. The remainder of their children were born in VT after he became a baker like his father. There are records of him and his siblings in the Port Henry area. Could my Timmons be connected to your Timmons?
