No we only know of him, don't know if any others came over. We think we have him in Summit Hill, Mauch Chuck as a border with a Cunningham in 1870, but not sure if it's really him as the name was so common. Family lore says he came from Donegal and a source also said most of the Irish in Summit Hill came from the Donegal area. We haven't been able to get his war records as he enlisted when the war was ending and he was not a "volunteer". We have his wife's application for pension after he died tho.
