Len - Thanks for the info. You did hit on a unconfirmed spot and I am probably incorrect in the Lonan location. The info I have is Thomas's first wife was a Margeret Kelley (sp) and they had two sons Thomas b 1839 and Edward b 1843. It appears Margaret died abt 1844. Next thing that shows up is Thomas and two sons show up on US immigration forms in 1851. Does any of this show on your records?
