NANCY ------ I, like everybody else in North America, have a Brown in my family tree. Any interest? Regards, ED COSTELLO, 1009 Blenheim Dr, Raleigh NC 27612 USA e-mail: < costello13@juno.com >, tel: 919-782-6058; --------Searching: COSTELLO (FAHEY), (JOYCE): Co Mayo>CT, MA, ME USA>USA; HAGGERTY (McGUIRE): Co Donegal>NB Canada>ME USA>USA; LAVERTY (BROWN), (KELLY): Co Armagh>NB Can>ME,CA>USA,Can. George Laverty b. 1782 in Armagh? Ireland arrived in New Brunswick, Canada, c. 1816 with wife ELIZABETH BROWN and son William b. 1815. Other children were: Isaac b. 1817 m. Elizabeth Baldwin, Mary Jane b. 1821 m. John Bryden, John b. 1825 in Maugerville, N.B. (my ggf) m. Annie Dougherty, Elizabeth b. 1828 (no further info on her), and Matilda b. 1831 or 36 m. John Dickison. Do not know where they lived prior to 1825 (John's obit states he was born in Maugerville). In the 1830s they petitioned for land in S. Richmond, Carleton Co., N.B. (near Debec). Many family members remained there but some moved elsewhere in Canada and the U.S. (ME, MA, CA and??) Would appreciate any further info on this family. I am anxious to make the connection to their Irish roots. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
