As per Jane's suggestion, I am trying to find the following from County Monaghan (according to Bible notes from my grandfather's Bible). I know names and dates from the Bible, but have found no trace in records from Ireland or Northern Ireland. Thomas ROGERS, born 1828, from Emyvale supposedly, but possibly born Carmeen or Carmean. Son of John ROGERS and Elizabeth ALEXANDER. (John was born 1760 and Elizabeth in 1793, so John was possibly married another time prior to Elizabeth. John died in 1830s and Elizabeth in 1871.) Martha MORRISON, born 1831, supposedly from same place. Daughter of James MORRISON and Jennie McCULLOCH. James and Jennie/Jane died in USA. BOTH families came to America in 1846 according to USA Federal Population Census in Paterson, Passaic, New Jersey. Children of Thomas and Martha, married 1848 in USA. 1)James; 2) John; 3) Mary; 4) Elizabeth; 5) William; 6) Sarah; 7) Thomas; 8) Letitia; 9) Robert; 10) Martha; 11) David; 12) Samuel (my grandfather) Regards, Donna Ristenbatt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ der@redrose.net Visit: ON THE TRAIL OF OUR ANCESTORS http://www.ristenbatt.com/genealogy
