THEIR SON JOHN (MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER) WAS BORN AROUND 1833, MARRIED ANNE GILLIGAN ON 25 FEB 1854 AND DIED 11 MAY 1884. HE FOUGHT FOR THE UNION DURING THE CIVIL WAR. ALL MY RELATIVES FROM THAT SIDE OF THE FAMILY ARE LIVING IN WEST SPRINGFIELD/HOLYOKE AREAS. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT TERRENCE AND BRIDGET EVER CAME TO THE STATES. HOW DID YOU ARRIVE AT THAT?
