I'm trying to find my Flynn's from Co. Sligo. Areas of interest are: Templeboy Easky Grangemore Skreen Tobercurry Kilsmachagan (sp?) The time frame would be from abt 1780-present. My family goes as follows: Cormack (Charles?) Flynn, b 1755, Co. Mayo, married Mary Flynn (believed to also be her maiden name), b 1753 (we think Sligo). Family lore says that Cormack came to Sligo as a young man as a Wheelwright, met and married Mary Flynn. John Flynn, b 1787, married Mary Finnegan, b 1794 (my gr gr grandparents). They stayed in Sligo. Mary Flynn (my gr gr aunt), b 1793, married Thomas Burns, b 1787. They ended up in Watertown, NY in 1849. Nancy Ann/Ann Nancy (my gr gr aunt), b abt 1800, married Thomas Hawks, b ????. They stayed in Sligo. Catherine "Kitty Rua" Flynn (my gr gr aunt), b 1808, married Patrick Graham/Greahan. They came to Watertown, NY but went back to Sligo. Most of their children ended up in Santa Clara, CA. John Flynn and Mary Finnegan's children were (my direct line): Patrick Flynn, b 1815, married Catherine McCarthy (believed to be from Dublin), b abt 1835. They ended up in Watertown, NY abt 1850. James Flynn, b 1819, married Catherine Culkin, b 1833. They stayed in Sligo but their children ended up in Omaha, NE. Mary Ann Flynn, b 1820, married Patrick Flynn (from Co. Mayo), b 1812. They ended up in Fulton (Oswego Co.), NY via Watertown abt 1850. Thomas Flynn (my gr grandfather), b 1832, married Catherine McCarrick, b 1844. They ended up Watertown, NY between 1865-1870. First names found in the family tree are: Andrew Thomas Charles Martin Mary Patrick James John Catherine William Henry Joseph Unfortunately, I do not have any information on any of the siblings of gr gr gr grandparents or gr gr grandparents siblings. I am guessing that the names of Andrew, Charles, Martin, William, Henry and Joseph came from, but who knows! I'm hoping that someone may have some knowledge of this family and I would be more than happy to share any information I have. |
