He said his father was born in the McDermott Castle. Married Mary Elizabeth McTaggart also of Dublin, Ireland but at the time of their marriage they were in Pennsylvania and eventually settled in McKeys Rocks, Pa. I realize that I may be replying to one of my sisters. My sisters and I live in North Carolina. My grandparents are, of course, now dead as is both by parents. There were (11 ?) children of the original grandparents in Pennsylvania, so I have many cousins and aunts and uncles. Some still in Pa. New York, Chicago and California. We have lost touch but I do still remember most of the aunts and uncles and some of the cousins. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
