Is this a spelling variation? I do recall my grandmother stating that she thought the Knoxes were from County Cork, but she may have been wrong, because his naturalization paper states County Court, New York, so this may have confused her. It seems much more possible that they were from Mayo since that is the same county that Achill Island is in. Could you please acknowledge any spelling variations for Reddy. Thank you for your information. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
