Your post on your grandfather is interesting to me. My early Schofields settled in Pa.. They were English but came from Ireland, having received a land grant for service in King William's army. That was in the 1700's. George Skofield settled in Philadelphia. His brother Thomas, who attended University at Dublin first went to Boston then on to Brunswick, Maine. A large mariner group of Skolfield's sprang up around Brunswick. My George was father to William who served in the Revolutionary War for the U.S..(of course!!) So, what I would like to know is if your Irish grandfather traced backed to relatives of George & Thomas. There were other siblings. Susan was a sisster who also came to U.S. and I would have to look up the other brother of whom I know nothing at this point in my research.
