We once seen an artical that believe that most Clerkin's living in County Monaghan and mabe County Caven, where related, through blood or marriage. So you see, if this was true your Patrick and our Peter could be cousins. ......ALSO..... We came across the 1665 Taxpayers list for County Monaghan. Mr Patrick O"Clerkin lived in Cormoy. Do you have any information on this person ? We have nothing else on him to start a search. Annesister Of Ontario. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
