Bob and Loree. I cannot help but think there is something here beyond the MARTIN surname. I have what I am sure is a far from complete genealogy of the descendants of Edward Martin of County Monaghan. I estimate his birth at about 1770 but some notations make it as early as 1750. Edward had at least 8 children, 5 male & 3 female. One daughter, Bridget, apparently had married in Ireland and did not come to the USA but a married daughter of hers did. All seven other children of Edward came to Boston starting with his emmigration about 1824 ... apparently not all at the same time. Some of his sons were already married and brought their families to Boston as well. I am going through this recently located 1916 journal/notebook of my great grandmother who was of Pawtucket. The MARTIN descendancy she provideds is reasonably straightforward but there are other families outlined that I cannot figure out the linkage. Locations mentioned include Counties Antrim, Louth, Tyrone & Monaghan in Ireland and MA, NY, CA, RI, CT in USA. Also a peripheral line from Nova Scotia. The surnames in the notebook include: FLANERY, GANAGHAN, GARGAN, GARLAND, LAFFERTY, LARKIN, LINES, LONG, MANNING, MARTIN, McCLEY, McCULLOUGH, McDERMOTT, McELHENEY, McGANN, McGRATH, McKENNA, McMAHON, MURRAY, PUTNAM, SMITH, TURNER.
