To the person who asked about Reynolds evicted from Ballykilcline -- I did not find any evicted Reynolds during my Rutland-area research. So, to my knowledge, we don't know where the Reynolds evictees went. The Ballykilcline Society has one member now who is searching for Reynolds. As I recall, he lives in western Canada. But I do not know whether he has established a Ballykilcline connection or is exploring the possibility of one. He is researching five lines with Ballykilcline surnames.

Monday February 4, 2008 TroyRecord Article 100years agoTuesdayFebruary 4, 1908 “A Troy policeman loses his job when the public safety commissioner finds him guilty of drunkenness on duty despite testimony in his favor. Patrol Michael J. Connery worked the evening shift in the Third Precinct. He began to feel ill toward the end of the shift and asked for the next day off. Following procedure ,he requested a visit from Police Surgeon John B. Neary. Dr. Neary determined he was suffering from a bad cold but also showed signs of intoxication. Dr. Neary’s report led to charges against Patrolman Connery , who denied having taken liquor other than a warm drink which was prepared for him by his sister. Connery’s personal physician,his sister and four fellow patrolmen testify they saw no signs of intoxication.For Commissioner Francis N. Mann Dr. Neary’s word outweighs the defense testimony and he finds Connery guilty.

Hi Mary, Thanks for your reply. Although your answer doesn't really answer my questions - it does pose some interesting thoughts about these Wynne's from Roscommon. My ancestor is James Wynne, born ca 1800 in either Sligo, Mayo or Roscommon. He married a Margaret Conlon ca 1820 and most likely in Riverstown, County Sligo. No marriage record found, however all of his children were baptized in Riverstown. James was crippled as a young man - he was kicked in the thigh by a horse and was never able to farm. He became a "hedge" teacher. By the time of the famine, his two sons, Michael and Patrick (my gggf), emigrated to America from Liverpool in 1847 (on two separate sailings). Michael and Patrick settled in Luzerne, Lackawanna and Susquehanna Counties, PA. By 1850 their mother and sisters came over. James remained behind and according to a letter written in 1914, he was living with his "cousins" the McCormick's (whose son lived in Scranton, PA). He most likely died before civil registration. Michael had seven sons and only one married and had a daughter - so his line has died. Patrick married and had eight children and six lived to maturity and married. I descend (through my mother) to his youngest son, William Henry. He is my ggf. The Wynne surname is very prevalent in Sligo and Roscommon and I believe that many of them are most likely related to each other. Thanks so much for this info - it may come in handy one day - but I believe my Wynne's may be related to the Orange County, VT Wynne's who did come from County Sligo.

Hi, Rich, Can you tell me where Orange County, VT is? The TAB shows three men named Wynne working six acres together in Ballykilcline in the 1830s. Their names were John, Pat, and Terrence. I can tell you that several female Wynnes went to Rutland. At least one of them, Bridget Wynne McLaughlin, was related through her mother to the evicted Winters family who also settled in Rutland. I can tell you that at least three Wynne siblings went to Fort Edward, NY in Washington County. A second Bridget "Winn"?is listed in the 1860 Rutland census; she may be the mother of Bridget Wynne McLaughlin.? A third?Bridget Wynne was working in England when her family was evicted and they petitioned the Crown -- successfully -- to pay her way to the U.S. as well. For a time, two of her sisters lived in Whitehall, NY.?Bridget apparently traveled to St. Louis with evictee Michael Gallagher but in 1849 was said to be in New York City. By the mid-1850s, Gallagher's sister placed an ad in The Boston Pilot to locate him. The ad said the sister lived in Enfield, MA (presumably Connecticut). ? It is my understanding that a lot of Roscommoners went to Pennsylvania. I have seen many of the Ballykilcline surnames?among the names of Pennsylvania residents. Mary Lee? ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever. Check out the new AOL Mail ! - http://webmail.aol.com

Mary, There were Wynne's from Ballykilcline who left for America. Do you know if they are the same Wynne's who settled in Orange County, VT? My ancestor Wynne, William Henry, was born in Lackawanna County, PA. However, he stated that his parents were born in Vermont on the 1900 census. This turned out to be totally incorrect as his father was born in Riverstown, County Sligo and his mother was born in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The fact that he mentioned Vermont has always led me to believe that somehow the Irish/Pennsylvania Wynne's are related to the Vermont Wynne's but I have never been able to make a connection. Secondly, the given names for both groups are very common (which is quite common anyway). Very curious, Rich Nichols, Greer, SC

Thanks, Kris. I have visited Ireland 9 or 10 times now. Of course, you get strongly motivated to go when you find cousins there, as I did in Kildare some years ago, and also when you decide to write a book that requires extensive research in Ireland! ?

Sunday February 3, 2008 Troy Record Article 100 years ago Monday February 3,1908 “In the first meeting of the newly organized Troy school board Frank E O'Brien as a conciliatory gesture, nominates Leland Thompson to take his place as president.With legal advice from Corporation Counsel George B. Wellington ,Thompson and William F.Gurley dismantle Harris’s scheme piece by piece. Since M.J. Kling has turned down his appointment the commercial school,there’s no vacancy at School 10 there is no vacancy for Agnes Gunning to fill. Since she cant be transferred from School 12, there is no vacancy for Harris to fill. Most importantly, Wellington advises the new board that it has the right to rescind the Dec 30 resolution creating the commercial high school.With that authorization Gurley and Thompson vote to abolish the commercial high school,O'Brien dissents. Edwin Harris is now without a position in the school system of Troy. Finally Edwin a Fry backs out of the superintendent job and the new majority restores him to his post as principal of School 3. They name Edward Edwards Jr as temporary superintendent until they and Mayor Mann can agree on a successor.

Matthew (Costello), OK, ready for this one? My Mom was telling her best friend (from South Troy), Mary (Carey) Leah, about my getting on to this website. When my Mom mentioned the name Costello to her she got very excited because she knows someone by the name of Costello. Except, his name is Paul Costello. She apparently knew of the Casey and Costello families, and knew what each of their names were. As I read her your last e-mail she kept saying "yes he's certainly got it all down!". But she swears that the only Costello in that family that would be writing on here would be Paul. She said she didn't realize that the Costellos and Caseys were cousins. She said that the family she's thinking of consists of: Jim Costello; Paul (who she last knew lives in VA); Florence (who she went to school with); and the "baby of the family" Mark. I believe that Casey names (I I hope I have this all right) are: Jack, Mary, Eileen and Florence (I'm not absolutely possibly about all of this, I was getting a little confused, Eileen and Florence may be kids of Jack (?). She said that two of her cousins are very into the geneological tree of her family, but if you ever hear of anyone by the name of Carey, please let me know. She also was telling me about Jack Casey writing the book "Bat Shea". I just looked it up online. It looks really interesting. I'd love to read it, especially since it's got a lot of (I think) South Troy into in it. I think I'll look into getting it. Thanks so much. I'm really interested in getting your response to share it with her and my Mom and Dad. Therese Mack

Wednesday January 30 2008 TroyRecord Article100yearsagoThursday January30, 1908 “Edwin S. Harris,public School Superintendent resigns. That does not mean the end of his public school career however. Commissioner John J. Mitchell ‘s term expires on January 31. Like Harris , Mitchell was appointed by Stalwart Democrat mayor Joseph F. Hogan and has been a loyal supporter of Harris. In his struggles with the Mann administration. Mitchell's exit means that Mann appointees would become a majority of the three man board, the mayor having appointed William Thompson during his first term. Harris needed the votes of both Mitchell and Frank E. O'Brien to save his job when Mayor Mann sought his removal last year. Realizing that his job wouldn't be safe after tomorrow,Harris and his loyal commissioners passed a series of resolutions over Thompson’s objection to give the superintendent a new power base. First Mitchell and O'Brien pass a resolution requesting Harris to become the principal of the new commercial high school. The next step is for Harris to resign his post as superintendent. He then promptly nominates Edwin A. Fry, a veteran school principal, as his successor. Mitchell and O'Brien approve Fry over Thompson’s objection. Harris isn't done.He will also become principal of school 12, transferring the current principal ,Agnes Gunning, to School 10 to make room for him. Thompson again votes no. The majority of Mitchell and O'Brien also appoint M.J.Kling as head of the new schools history department and Abbie F. Potts as head of modern languages. Thompson, the minority, votes no to both.” **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Sunday January 27 thru Tuesday January 29, 2008 TroyRecord Article 100years ago Monday January 27,1908 thru Wednesday January 29 1908 “Lelia P.Simmons Ackley has been staying with her mother in Troy since Christmas, when she finds out that the Utica Press has reported she died here of a heart attack on January 14. The former Lelia P. Simmons married Charles J. Ackley in Troy in 1902. They moved to Utica in 1905. The Utica paper reported that Lelia left for Troy to attend a sister in laws funeral with plans to stay the holiday season and had a heart attack on January 14. The paper says her husband told friends a few days later he had traveled to Troy for his wife’s funeral and had seen her in her casket. He told another friend he had word by telegram of his wife’s heart attack, enabling him to hurry to Troy and see her before she died.When friends asked where to send flowers he said he had forgotten her mothers address .Shortly afterward he left Utica. When the Utica reporter visited the Ackley apartment he found their furniture in the custody of a neighbor.The neighbor showed the reporter a letter Lelia had written to her on January 23, more than a week after Lelia’s alleged demise.The Record sends a reporter to the Simmons house at 3229 -6th Avenue to interview Lelia, who says her husband was confused when he told neighbors of her demise sand the Utica paper mistook the story.She says he is now in Amsterdam doing temporary work. The Utica Press learns her husband submitted his wife's death notice to that city’s newspapers, and urged friends not to go to Troy for the funeral. He is now accused of exploiting the story to get charitable donations. The Record reporter interviews Lelia a second time and now she says her husband occasionally goes on drinking bouts and when intoxicated has a compulsion to tell people that relatives of his have died. He was traumatized by losing his first wife and six of his children from that marriage over a span of 10 years. Since that time he has been mentally affected and broke down and sobbed saying he was sorry for the notoriety he has brought down upon his wife and himself. She volunteers that Charlie was in the house during the first interview with the reporter but is now back to Utica to make amends.” **************Ideas to please picky eaters.
