Daniel Clinton Betz, husband of Susan Paterson Karr, was my 3rd great-uncle. I have Susan's death certificate. I was not sure in your message if you where able to confirm that Susan was the daughter of Charlton and Margaret (Patterson) Karr. So I thought I would let you know. I'm sorry if I got your hopes up. If I run into any further information on the Karr family I will keep you in mind.

Do you know Norma Arbogast? She contacted me several times about a year ago. Norma is about the same age as my mother. Norma was really excited about learning of the Karr Family. She was using her son's email...I've lost contact with her. She and her son also say that they are related to Susan Paterson Karr Betz. I had more information for Norma but the email is no longer available. Susan is buried at Hitler-Ludwig Cemetery in Circleville, Ohio. I have been to her gravesite. My Uncle and Mother both have plots in the same cemetery. Susan was my Grandad's sister. He saved a clipping of her obituary that I found in an old envelope in the family Bible. Becky K.

Author: scgen123 Surnames: Dougherty, Hannigan, Doherty, Dogherty Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.ireland.ulster/2972/mb.ashx Message Board Post: [I am not related.] New York Times 18 Aug 1885, p.7 GETTING THE WRONG MARY. A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY AT CASTLE GARDEN. "I want me niece, Mary Dougherty, that's cum by the Ethiopia; will yer Honor plaze give her to me?" said Mary Hannigan, of Stony Point, to Mr. Miller at Castle Garden yesterday morning. "Mary Dougherty, come here, your aunt wants you," called out Mr. Miller, and a healthy looking Irish girl of about 20 years of age stepped out, saying, "Yes, Sir, here oi am; where is she?" Mary Hannigan threw her arms about the girl's neck and showered kisses on her. "How much loike yer fayther ye look, me darlin'; ye're his very image," she exclaimed, and kissed the girl again and again. She attended to Mary's baggage, and hurried her off. They had just boarded the boat when Mary remarked that great changes had taken place in County Leitrim since her aunt left the old country. "And sure yez crazy, Mary, to talk of County Leitrim when it's from Ulster County ye've come," replied Mrs. Hannigan. "Do ye suppose I don't know where oi was born and bred?" exclaimed Mary, and then a suspicion flashed across her mind and she asked: "Who is it ye're after?" "Sure, after ye, me niece, Mary Daugherty, me puir, mitherless girl," replied Mrs. Hannigan. "Oh, wurra, wurra, whin did me mither doi?" gasped Mary almost in hysterics, and then a flood of tears flowed from her eyes. Mrs. Hannigan stared at the girl in astonishment and devoutly crossed herself. She thought the girl had gone stark raving mad. "Why, don't ye remember yer mither doide 13 years ago?" she asked. "What's the matter wid ye; me mither paid me passage acrosst," said Mary, impatiently. Mrs. Hannigan looked at the girl's eyes, and then asked her when they had turned blue. The girl indignantly said that they had always been of that color. Then they finally came to an understanding. Two Marys by the same family name of Dougherty had arrived by the Ethiopia, and although they somewhat resembled each other, and both had brown hair, they were not in anywise related to each other. Each one expected her aunt to meet her at Castle Garden. One Mary, however, had blue eyes and the other's were brown. Blue-eyed Mary's ear alone had caught Mr. Miller's voice, and she had hurried forward. The women returned to Castle Garden, where Mrs. Hannigan's niece was waiting. Blue-eyed Mary waited until the afternoon, and then took the train for Susquehanna, Penn., to join her mother and aunt. ******************************************* >From Ancestry.com: New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 Name: Mary Dogherty [only one Mary found] Arrival Date: 17 Aug 1885 Estimated birth year: abt 1867 Age: 18 Gender: Female Port of Departure: Glasgow, Scotland and Moville, Ireland Destination: United States of America Place of Origin: Ireland Ethnicity/Race/Nationality: Irish Ship Name: Ethiopia Port of Arrival: New York Line: 37 Microfilm Serial: M237 Microfilm Roll: M237_489 List Number: 1023 Port Arrival State: New York Port Arrival Country: United States Name: Maggie Doherty Arrival Date: 17 Aug 1885 Estimated birth year: abt 1870 Age: 15 Gender: Female Port of Departure: Glasgow, Scotland and Moville, Ireland Destination: United States of America Place of Origin: Ireland Ethnicity/Race/Nationality: Irish Ship Name: Ethiopia Port of Arrival: New York Line: 13 Microfilm Serial: M237 Microfilm Roll: M237_489 List Number: 1023 Port Arrival State: New York Port Arrival Country: United States Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I'd like to get in contact with anyone who has Morgans' in Ulster Province and County Cavan on Monagham. Also Armstrong in Monaghan. All I know about my family in Ireland is the following: 1) William Morgan and his wife Letita Armstrong left Ireland and settled in Renfrewshire, Scotland about 1842-1844 from Cootehill, County Cavan, Ireland. 2) William Morgan's parents were John Morgan and Elizabeth Dougherty. William was born about 1811 (I assume in County Cavan). 3) William Morgan married Letitia Armstrong about 1831. She was born in County Monaghan to Thomas Armstrong and Maria Stoops. 4) They were not Catholics but don't know what church they belonged to. I know that William's son (my great grandfather) was a very actice Orangeman. I have been through all of the Tithe and Griffiths and have a few ideas but I can't document anything.

Hi, Gillian These McIlroys/McElroys in the Cullebackey/Ahoghill area are my ancestors, too. There are a lot of them buried in the "old cemetery" in Ahoghill. I have a list but do not know the relationships among them. Will send it tonight. Deb Logan<BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> See what's free at http://www.aol.com.</HTML>

Author: gillianhutchinson_1 Surnames: McIlroy, McMullan Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.ireland.ulster/2970/mb.ashx Message Board Post: These were my 3-greats grandparents on my maternal grandmother's side. Their dates are 1771-1825 and 1771-1856 respectively and I have details of one son, Thomas McIlroy, who married Elizabeth McMullan in 1846 and who died in 1898. I also have details of most of their descendants after that. However, when I first started researching the McIlroys, my aunt, a keen family historian, told me that 2 McIlroy brothers came to Cullybackey, County Antrim from Scotland and that one of these settled in Dreen, Cullybackey. This is the brother, presumably John, from whom my family is descended. What I would be interested in finding is details of the other brother and also if John had any other children besides Thomas. My husband's aunt married a McIlroy from another family and this family were indeed good friends of my mother and her siblings. There is a strong family resemblance between these other McIlroys and mine, but I have not been able to find a link to them. This is why I want to see if I can find out more about John and his brother. Know what I mean? Looking forward to hearing from anyone with any inkling.
