Hey Pam.
My father is a Scully from Matthew's line. He is William's son, son of Patrick. There was recently a book published about the Allen Side and it said that Mary was actually born in Douro, and not in the States, though the records I have seen say otherwise. So, I 'm not sure where she got her her info on that. I am still struggling to locate anything on Matthew and any further back in Ireland. Though, through the book, I have learned that Matthew came over via the 1846 immigration to Canada and at the time, he was single. So, he must have met and married Bridget KILCAULEY (can't remember the actual spelling, sorry) after he landed. I hope this helps a bit. If you find anything more out, please let me know. I am not having much luck on my end.
Thanks.
Heather
