Or did you use Griffiths online surname index to look for a Thomas Knott in Ireland and that's how you determined it was Leitrim? Did Thomas and Letitia emigrate to the US with the children? Their ages, dates of birth would be very helpful since it was apparently before 1830. Regards. Eilís O'Hara Ireland
