My ancestors, John Clark(e) and Mary Hill emigrated from Tullamore, Ireland to Perth, Ontario about 1821-1822. John was given land in Bathurst, Lanark Co. after being discharged from the British army after the war of 1812. They had six children: Thomas, John Jr., Elizabeth (Betsy), Sarah (Sally), William, and Rebecca. Daughter Elizabeth Clark(e) married John Murphy who was born in Ireland to William Murphy and Elizabeth Conton. Their family church was St. John the Baptist in Perth and I have records of baptisms, marriages, and deaths from the church. They had ten children. The tenth was Michael Francis Murphy. After John died, Elizabeth emigrated from Ontario to Rome, New York with her two youngest children, Michael Francis and Mary. In New York, Michael Francis met and married Jennie S. Burns. I wondered if anyone else is researching any of these families? Christine Murphy Tomberlin
