Surnames mentioned in this message: Tully, Flaherty, McKeon, Maher, Kiernan, Heslin, Wilson, Martin, Fox, Devany, Rogers, Dorris, Lynch, Waide, Rogers, Dolan. The Heslin family described below is apparently related or connected somehow to Dennis Tully and/or his brother Terence Tully or to a wife of one of them. Does anyone know what the connection might be? Terence Tully (1835-1921) was born in Killoe Parish, near Ballinamuck, Co Longford, Ireland. He was married to Mary Flaherty (1833-1918) on St. Valentine's Day, 1859, in Drumlish Parish Church, Co Longford, by Rev. Patrick McKeon. Mary was the daughter of Patrick and Mary (Dolan) Flaherty. Witnesses to the marriage were James Maher and Mary Kiernan. Terence and Mary arrived in New York City on March 2, 1861, aboard the "Excelsior" with their first child, Anna. In a family album belonging to their son Joe Tully were pictures of three young women, photographed at Feinberg Studios, 16 West 14th St., NYC. On the backs of the pictures were the words: "To Joe: Best Wishes. Your Cousin, Mary L. Heslin. Sept. 11th, '98" "With Love, Your Cousin, Doretta Heslin, Sept. 11th, 1898" "With Love to Cousin Joe. Flora A. Heslin. Sept. 11, '98" Presumably "Cousin Joe" is Joe Tully. The date of Sept. 11, 1898, was one day prior to the wedding day of Joe's cousin, Frances Tully, and Arthur A. Wilson in Brooklyn. Frances was the daughter of Denis Tully (1838-1909) and Elizabeth "Bessie" (Martin) Tully, who were married in New York City in 1867. Bessie was born Feb 1846 Matry or Kells, Co Meath. Arthur Wilson was English. Census records show: MICHAEL HESLIN, b Sep 1847 Ireland wife Mary, b Mar 1845 Ireland dtr Mary L. Feb 1870 New Hampshire son George A. Jan 1873 New Hampshire dtr Doretta Feb 1878 New Hampshire dtr Flora A. Mar 1885 in Rhode Island The 1870 and 1880 censuses show the family in Claremont, Sullivan Co NH. At the time of the 1900 census Michael, his wife and daughters were living on Troy Avenue near Malbone St. in Brooklyn NY. George was also in Brooklyn in 1900 with his wife, Elizabeth, and son Arthur A. Heslin, born Oct 1899 in NY. (Note that Fanny Tully's husband was named Arthur A. Wilson.) George's address in 1900 was listed as 1191 "Segraw". Probably this should be DeGraw St. In 1906 Fanny Wilson was living at 1231 DeGraw St. According to a pedigree chart drawn up apparently around 1900, 1 Terence Tully's parents were: 2 Patrick J. Tully (1801-23Feb1883) and 3 Ann (Fox) Tully (1814-20Dec1847). Grandparents: 4 Terence Tully and 5 Mary (Dorris) Tully (1774-4Mar1858) 6 Charles Fox and 7 --- (Devany) Fox Great-grandparents: 8 Patrick Tully and 9 Sarah (Lynch) Tully 10 Daniel Dorris and 11 ---- (Waide) Dorris 12 Michael Fox and 13 ? 14 ---- Devany and 15 ---- (Rogers) Devany Great-great-grandfather: 16 Morris or Myles Tully Ann Fox's brother Patrick Fox (b ca 1808 Ireland) lived at 49 South Margin St., Boston MA. His wife's name and the names of their children, if they had any, are not known. Besides Denis of NYC, Terence J. Tully had siblings Michael P. "Mike" Tully (1836-1915) of Newton NJ and Anna Tully, who married John Kiernan and remained at Ballinamuck. Mike left no children. Anna and John Kiernan had one child, a daughter, Bridget "B" Kiernan (b 1877 Kiltecreevn or Drumlish - d 27 Sep 1958 Longford), who married at Ballinamuck 9 Jun 1902 Hugh Donnelly. Hugh and B had no children. I would appreciate help in locating "Kiltecreevn", which is quite likely misspelled. Andy Anderson

In response to Richard Roarke's interest in Dromard parish: this parish had a lot of families in the early-mid 19th century who were named BRADY, REILLY (one of the most common names in that part of Longford). My father's DUIGNAN family had been there since around 1780 and his mother's HOURICAN family from nearby Dunbeggan as well; they were both large families and there were many marriages with Reilly's, Brady's and other local families, as well as a number of BRADY, REILLY priests and nuns. Many of these are buried in Columbcille Cemetery. Siobhan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Good morning Mary: Genealogical research, including all DNA programs for the MACKLINs of Ireland, Canada, Australia and the US is run through the Macklin Foundation of Toronto Canada. It may have been one of our team doing a little investigation in Co Tyrone and Co Down. The latter is where most of the Macklins live in Ireland these days including a cluster in Dublin. One of our last projects is to find John Macklin [b 1790 d 1860 Co Tyrone/Down] married to Mary Murtagh [b 1795 d 1868 Co Down]. Mary was from Longford, Co Longford. We are currently looking in Longford and Down for the cemetery and headstone and nothing has turned up yet. If some of your family is connected to the Macklin family who are Brythonic Celts [before the Iberian Celts arrived from Spain in Ireland] then you may wish to do some DNA research to pin down the family connection. Interestingly enough we do have a McGuigan in the tree with Macklin DNA, and as yet we do not know how that name arrived. Very interesting that you write. Take care. Eric Macklin Toronto To: "Mary Adams Arroyo" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 12:54 PM Subject: [NIR-DOWN] MACKLIN-MACKEL & MCGUIGAN Did someone mention the name MACKLIN recently? I didn't really pay attention to it, but I just got a little tidbit of info from a cousin. She said that our g g grandfather was registered as John MACKLIN instead of MACKEL. I don't know if the name was originally Macklin, or if it was just an error in registration. I'm estimating his birth at about 1845-1850 or so. I have no info before this time. And my Mackels stayed in Belfast after that generation. If this sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know. Thanks Mary Adams Arroyo CT, USA

Jane, I have an interest in the Dolan and Masterson names, particularly in Leitrim. If you have more information on either of those families in either county that would be very interesting. I have Dolan cousins with a much more direct connection but they trace their line back to Wiliam Dolan (b. 1800 in Carrigallen). He married Catherine Masterson (father Patrick) born 1791 in Keshcarrigen. She worked as a servant girl and was listed on the 1821 Carrigallen Census as Mary. There is a great deal of Dolan information after that, and then Laurence Dolan married Anne Heslin in 1891.

Dear Eric and all, There is no surname index to these as far as I can make out. They were published only in the last few years by the Ulster Historical Foundation and are probably available through Genealogical libraries. They would be covered by copyright. No person that I know of has tried to put an index on line- to do so, they'd have to go through each transcription and create the index first, and even though the transcriptions are arranged alphabetically, indexing the surnames that occur would be a lot of work Try contacting the UHS postal address 66 Balmoral Avenue, Belfast, BT9 6NY Co. Antrim N. Ireland I have checked the copies of Breda, Garryduff Presbyterian and Castlereagh for you and there are no Macklin stones in them. I've only checked the main surname on each stone, not other names included on any stone.

Good morning Bill: Does anyone have the cemetery records information by RSJ Clarke in a web searchible format? This could serve as a temporary stop off for die-hard researchers waiting for the Journals of the Memorials to the Dead to come on-line......some day. Eric

Sorry about going off topic. I guess I was so interested that I forgot I was on the Longford list. Won't happen again.

What are the surnames in Drumlish in which you are interested? I study Drumlish very carefully, since I have several lines that have roots there or in nearby townlands.

Hi Karen: Saw your post re your surnames Co. Longford area & noted ref. to McMANUS. Do you have any, of that surname, who may have immigr. into Quebec, Canada ca 1822 ? I have a minimal ref. to a Mary McMANUS m to Lawrence KELLY/O'KELLY. They were in Quebec by 1822 when Lawrence was granted lands. They had daughter - Anne b 1830 there. I *think* they may have originated in Co. Longford as I have many of surname LEAVY/LEVEY/LEVY from Edgeworthstown, Co. Longford connected to my KELLY line. Also have HICKEY/FARRELL/GORMAN/DILLON (& more)names connected, all from Co. Longford. Does anyone look familiar to you ?? Bev

Hi Gail, Thanks for the information. I did not reflect on Co Leitrim being next door to Co Longford. There are very few Creamers in Co Longford. Maybe our family are the wanderers. Thanks also for the alternate forms of the name. That will give me some new roads to travel. Of course, my grandmother was Mary Creamer, just like your gr gr grandmother! She married into the Myers [Mears] family from Kilmoremoy (Co Sligo until 1898, Co Mayo thereafter), but they met and married in Calias, Maine. Thanks. Stay in touch!

Hello, Thanks for reminding us about purpose of the list. I have often replied directly to other subscribers with great results and don't really want to read through "special interests" I really appreciate the efforts of those dedicated people who copy important documents and fill a void of information. Thanks, Maureen

A couple of things - first please add [OT] or O.T. to indicate Off Topic messages. In this way our list members can skip messages that might not be of any interest to them. Remember you can take a topic off list and reply in private. It concerns me when off topic messages are followed by unsubscribe commands. So, try to stick to our list's purpose which is *genealogy research in County Longford*. Also please watch those subject headings. We don't want messages that say: Re: IRL-LONGFORD-D Digest V04 #261. So., please fix those subject headings when you are replying to a Digest. If you have questions or comments please email me off list at: [email protected] Thanks, Christina List Admin
