The information I have is that my ancestor JOHN WARD, was born in about 1800, in Monaghan Co., Ireland. I can only presume that his wife ANN MURPHY was also born there also, in about 1804, and that they also presumably married there in the early 1820's. I know that they were in Pennsylvania, USA in 1829, so presumably they immigrated in the late 1820's. They eventually settled in the "Stoney Creek" Irish settlement in Exeter Township, Monroe Co., Michigan, USA. >From her death certificate, Ann's parents were named BERNARD and MARGARET MURPHY, and I can only similarly presume they were also in Monaghan Co. I also believe Ann had a brother named John Murphy, who I believe also settled in "Stoney Creek." Rick Waggener Walnut Creek, California, USA sequoia@pacbell.net
