My great grandfather, Thomas Edward Eccles b. Monaghan 1824, entered the port of New Orleans, La. 1844. Family lore says he came with 2 brothers whose names I do not know. I believe other siblings stayed in Ireland. He had correspondence with family there as did my grandfather, Arthur Augustus Eccles. I would like to hear from anyone connected with any Eccles of Monaghan or either of these two men. I am Carole Anne Sarah, wife of MarvinThomas75.
