Bellagelly, Bangor Mayo, in 1868. Her Mom was Mary Ruane/Rowan born in Mayo around 1830-1840, her Dad John McDonnell. One of Sabina's her sister -in- laws was Mary Munley Conway born 1859 in Mayo.(from somewhere in NW Mayo most likely Kilcommon, Erris Belmullet region) Mary Munley Conway came with her parents Katie Deane and Anthony Munley along with her sibs Anthony, and Patrick in 1864 to Lost Creek, PA. Mary Munley Conway married John Conway in 1884 in PA. John and his family were also from NW Mayo(close to if not Belmullet) and my Grandmother was fairly certain that the Conways and Munleys knew one another in NW Mayo having been raised in part by her Aunt Mary. John Conway died before 1900 leaving Mary with two young sons. I suspect that John Conway had sibs and one could have been named Sabina. I never really looked to see. If I recall the Conways were related to McIntyres also from NW Mayo. My PGM said that almost all the associated families of Lost Creek, PA traced back to NW Ireland and that they were very intertwined and the documents I have found to date support this. So although I don't to date have another Sabina(than the McDonnell) I fully anticipate finding one hiding somewhere(most likely John or Mary Ruane had a sib named that or a parent) Be glad to help anyway I can. Good Luck, Maryann Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
