Now that I'm thinking along my FARRELL lines . . . Does anyone have a family story about a seafaring relation who was robbed of his pay and thrown unconscious into "the river" to drown? I have a John Farrell (b. 1850 ish, Cloghan, Castleblaney, Co, Mo.) who allegedly suffered this fate around 1901 but I have yet to find any documentary evidence of it. I am intentionally leaving out mention of the place since we have a couple of versions and some of them may be based on assumptions of generations past and I don't want to prejudice the jury. The interesting part is that on a list of family deaths written by this man's daughter that goes up to 1912, there is no mention of him! Sisters, Aunts. brothers are all there but no father. Something smells fishy. Margaret
