Hi All. I am Andrea from Waterford-Halfmoon, NY. But grew up on River Street in Troy and my family goes back... The Banks family bought property from the Tibbits on 15th Street, in 1867 (this is the correct year). However the family came from Ireland Co. Sligo, to NYC (don't know exactly when but I think around 1851? I have no idea when the Ahearn's got here but some of you may know of my Grandmother's (Nora Ahern Bank wife of Joseph Banks) Cousin Jack Ahern who was the Mayor of Troy back in the 1960's. This is the Ahearn family who got the land allocated from the Warren family (Warren Hill) for Prospect Park in Troy. The Kelly's, which was the surname of my Grandmother's (Nora Ahern Banks) her Mother Marry Kelly Ahearn/Ahern. I know this family lived on Liberty Street back in the 1800's into the 1900s. The last surname Gillis, my Grandfather (Joseph Banks), his Grandmother on his Fathers side Elizabeth Gillis Warren, Husband of Lorenzo Warren (civil war 125th Reg.), she ran a boarding house in south Troy. Thanks all for having me, and I am free to help with lookups if needed, Andrea -----Original Message----- From: ny-troy-irish-gensoc-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ny-troy-irish-gensoc-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of austin fadden Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 5:28 PM To: ny-troy-irish-gensoc@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] ROLLCALL - Buckley, Lannigan Austin (Ed) Fadden Knoxville, TN Both the Buckley and the Lannigan families emigrated from Fethard, Co Limerick in the late 1840s .
