Hi Wendy, There probably aren't any Lally's around Canaan since John and Bridget (Lally) Fallon were already married when they arrived in Canaan. They lived for a while in Pennsylvania (Philadelphia area, possibly) and were either married there or possibly before they left Ireland. They appear in Canaan in the 1860 census (the copy I included in my previous email) and the state census of 1865, but in the 1870 census the family was in Pittsfield, MA and John was gone. -----Original Message----- From: nycolumb-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nycolumb-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Wendy McLean Sent: Sunday, October 18, 2009 6:47 PM To: nycolumb@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NYCOLUMB] Fallon / Follen / Folland - in Canaan c. 1860 to 1870 Bill - I don't see any "Lally" surnames in the federal census either. I am pretty familiar with the Canaan surnames of that time period, and I have to say that I don't even vaguely recall any Lally's. There were Fallons in nearby West Stockbridge, MA. Canaan never had a Catholic Church. Not a lot of Irish surnames. I'm still puzzled as to what census records you are looking at. I don't see any Fallons in the Federal census for 1870. I would love to help, but I need some clarification. On 10/18/09 4:30 PM, "William Coley" <nymets42@optonline.net> wrote: > One other thing - his wife's maiden name was Lally.

I can't find the Fallons in the 1860 federal census.
