Hello,

I'm looking for any information on where in Ireland Robert Poage and Elizabeth Preston may have come from. Robert was born circa 1700 according to research I and other family members have done. They were married in 1721 or 1722. Their son, William Poage was born in Ireland as were a couple of other children, they emigrated through Philedelphia (if my info is correct). I am a descendent of William Poage's. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I leave for Ireland tomorrow and would love if I could find out their city of origin. Thanks!
