Pat, this research has been very interesting, but also very frustrating at times. My information came from old records in Massachusetts archives, and a cousin that I met while doing this who lives in Massachusetts. Come to find out, her husband's great great grandfather was my great great grandfather's brother. Their father was Richard Taffe b. 1799 in Dunleer, County Lough, Ireland. Richard was married to Catherine McNally. I have a lot of information. I don't know if it will hook our Taffe's together. If I can help you in anyway or if I find out something of interest, I will pass it on. Thanks and keep in touch. Fay
