Nancy I read with much interest your posting regarding your Mayo family, as you have the same family names as I, except that your dates are a couple of generations later. My great grandmother was Mary BARRETT, born c. 1843-1850 ( I haven't been able to find any 2 dates to agree, and have not been able to read the parish christening records to find a date). I've tried twice. Her parents apparently were John BARRETT and Mary MURRAY. Mary's mother is , by family lore, Mary SHERIDAN. I don't know if this is a maiden name or a married name, but the SHERIDAN is supposed to be related to Gen Philip SHERIDAN of Civil War and Chicago Fire fame. However, since his family came from County Cavan, I don't know if this is true or not. Mary BARRETT married John WELLS (WILLS) in 1872, probably in Scranton PA. My mother always said that he was from "the North", however when he died, Mary put in the death notice that he was from "Mollina Cross" (death notice wording). Actually, I have found that the family used Crossmollina in generic terms, as they actually lived in Lahardane, Addergoole Parish, about 8-10 miles south of Crossmollina on Loch Conn. Some of the family also was in Tawnama (sp) similar to the town you mention in Newport. The Wells' eventually settled in Braidwood, Will County, IL and then Chicago. An Ellen Murray married an Anthony Moffatt, possibly in Mayo, or in PA. They moved to Braidwood, also. There was also a Michael and Margaret Murray in the Braidwood area (I assume) as they were my grandmother's godparents when she was baptized in Braidwood. I don't know the relationship between Michael and Margaret-husband and wife/siblings? I have not been able to find them anywhere other than the Christening. If any of this seems to ring a bell, let me know.

My Mayo family is of my mothers family line. The surname is Rutledge. My cousin Sean now lives in London, but his father still lives in Mayo and is a tour boat operator. He told his son Sean, "We have here for hundreds of years. We came from Fermanagh who came from the Anglo-Scott border, but we don't know when that happened or the given names of our proginators." I suspect, but certainly cannot assume, that the family settled in the Fermanagh Plantation scheme after they were driven from their lands in far north of Northumberland England. Good day all......and would like to hear from descendents of Rutledge in Mayo. Don Kelly, IGP Coordinator

Don, Rutledge is one of the names adopted by the Mulderigs. I was told the same story of coming from Ulster at the time of the Flight of the Earls.
