Unfortunately, all we have on Michael is that he was a laborer in both the 1860 and 1870 censuses. We don't know what he labored at. Michael's tombstone, in St. Patrick's in Mount Savage, says he was a native of County Longford, Ireland. My search of County Longford records has not turned up any information on our family. -- Barbara Williamson [email protected] Researching KEARNEY (CARNEY) 1850 IRL>MD MCKONE (MCKEON, MCKEONE, MCKEOWN) 1850 IRL>PA>MD>WV CLARKE 1848 IRL>MD>WV COSGROVE 1850 IRL>MD BROD 1840 GER>MO PETERS NY>CA>MO>TN Volunteer of Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness at http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnraogk/index.htm Member of the Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild http://istg.rootsweb.com
