Re: FARAGHERS from Minnesota, Ohio, etc.

Hi Len, Your brothers are a generation back from what I know. We are descended from James Faragher born 1717 died 1777 and Ann Sayle. their son Thomas born 1753 had a son John in 1787. He married Jane Cain and they had a son James born in 1826. He married Isabella Gale, who is still referred to in the family as Aunt Belle. They had eight children, the youngest of whom, Robert, was my great grandfather. I believe that all this is correct although as is the way with manx families it gets a bit confused along the way! especially as we are related through marriage to many other local families.
Best wishes to all relations far and wide, we have been up to Bride this evening and it is a lovely evening.
