Surnames: Lynch, McMartin, Barry, Considine, Young
The wonderful Rosemary McConkey, a local Peterborough researcher, has just had a breakthrough in this mystery through painstaking research through the land transaction records. In Oct. 1841 James, John, and Edward Lynch(McMartin) bought land in Ontonabee on the same day and virtually side by side. Michael Lynch(Young) then buys a portion from John in 1846. While Michael may have come via Galway, other records indicate they were from Cork and this bible quote is the most specific of all. Rosemary believes John Lynch(Barry) above may be a cousin, as an 1865 Peterborough newspaper article states a John Lynch from Oil Springs, Pennsylvania died while visiting his brother James Lynch in Ontonabee. Or, James Lynch(Considine) above may be the cousin. Further investigation on this is ongoing. There is quite a bit of data I will upload in the next few days and open the tree. Currently, I am on the road.
