From: Bill and Cathy McGrath <[email protected]> Like Pat, my O'Connor's also wound up in Troy, NY. My great grandfather, TIMOTHY O'CONNOR, came to Troy in the 1860's from Nenagh, Tipperary. His brother Michael, came to Troy a few years later. Details that I know are: Tim's parents were: WILLIAM O'CONNOR CATHERINE GLEASON Information on Timothy: Born: Dec. 1836 (Family always talked about Nenagh so may have been born there) Married in Troy, NY on November 28 1872 to CATHERINE McCORMICK from Dunbin, County Louth. Died in Troy, NY on August 8, 1912 Information on Michael: Born: 1845 Newport, Tipperary. Information on O'Rourke name: The O'Connor family in Troy had some relation to the O'Rourke's on Pound Street, Newport. There was a Michael and a niece Catherine. Letters were received up to the 1960's. Nothing else is known about the O'Rourke's. Would like to make some further connections with the the O'Connor, Gleason and O'Rourke names in Tipperary. Regards, Billl McGrath
