Greetings Irish Palatine Descendants: I have been working on the Teskey - Atkins family connection for years and I would sincerely appreciate some advise and guidance in solving the mystery. Robert Atkins; abt. 1798-1877 (son of James Atkins and Catherine Long) married Anne Teskey; both from Co. Limeriack, probably in 1824 the same year they immigrated to L'Acadie Co., (Sherrington Twp.), Quebec. He is not to be confused with the Robert Atkins that settled at the same time in West Gwillimburg, Simcoe County, Ontario, with other Irish Palatiane Families from Co. Limerick, including John Long.. In the mid 1830's Robert and Anne Atkins moved briefly to West Gwillimbury Twp., and in 1839 settled in St. Vincent Twp., Grey Co., Ontario. According to the information that I have, ADAM TESKEY - 1740, married his second wife, Mary Legeir (Legear) on January 27, 1772 in Co. Limerick. To that second marriage were born two sons: Michael and William Edward. It is my understanding that Michael died in Ireland and William Edward settled in the Montreal area. It is my assumption, and here is where I need help, that Michael's widow, Anne, immigrated with Robert and Ann Teskey Atkins, as a widow Tusky is listed with the family in the 1825 census for that area. Is widow Tusky the widow of Michael Teskey? According to "People Make Place" pg. 76/77 a letter written by Nicolas Shier of Countmatrix to his son Samuel at LaPrairie in October 1822. In the letter it states "There are Michael Teskey and Samuel Doupe, and more of the neighbours in waiting with eager expectation on your answer in this letter." Footnote No. 53, pg. 214: "...Michael Teskey of Courtmatrix and his wife Anne had a family of six young children in 1822 ..." Can anyone help me to find out about Michael Teskey and his brother William? The information that I have gleaned from the LDS Family Search Internet Service is a help but in no way validates a connection. I do appreciate any help or advise that one might offer; right now all my leads have led me to a dead end. Thank you. R. Paul Doherty
