My great great grandfather was Nicholas Curran. I know he came from Ireland in the early to mid 1800s. He married Mary Conway or Conroy and had 3 daughters, Margaret, Annie and Mary. He was a blacksmith in Nashville until the early 1860's when hid wife died and he left for Virginia. He may have also had 2 older sons, possibly Martin and James. I'm guessing from a different marriage. Annie Married Edward Carey in 1878 in Peidmont West Vrginia. Both sisters lived with them in 1880. Any info at all would help.
