I just recieved information from a relative that my aunt had mailed to him years ago. Her name was Annamae Balluff and is Nicholas Walsh was her great-grandfather. Nicholas Walsh was Thomas Walsh's half-brother and the father of Margaret Walsh, who was married to Terence Powderly. Annamae was my mother's aunt on her father's side.

I don't think your links are quite right.
Lillian Linnen is my grandmother, she died of cancer before my birth. I knew my grandgather Roland who lived all but his last years of illness in Carbondale. He had siblings Raymond and Mary ( only met each once so I could be wrong). Roland had 2 sons roland ( known as Junior) and James, my father.
I believe roland's father was Hugh and I know hugh's father was ter(r)ence who came from Ireland in 1830 and settled in Carbondale. so TP from ireland ( had 12 kids) tvp was the youngest ( mayer of scranton, knights of labor, com.of immegration etc) TP also had HP who had Roland who had james who had me.

Terrence Powderly?

Dear Terry,

I have just begun researching my ancestry. My Mother, who is still alive aged 82 but has begun Alzheimers disease, has been trying to help me with dates. She remembers very little but with prompting and probing I managed to get a few dates. Unfortunately not going back very far, but maybe with investigation can find something (even your long lost cousin?)

Christopher Powderly Married Cathering Brannigan in Drogheda, Co. Meath where they both lived and were born.

They had 4 sons, Paul, Joseph (Joe), Frank & Thomas (My Grandfather)
They had 3 daughters, Alice, Rose(Rosh), Cissy(Catherine)

Paul Powderly joined the Irish Army but died before aged 30.

Frank Powderly worked in the linen mills of Greenmount & Boyne, Drogheda as carpenter, then emigrated to upstate New York where he married late, to a widow with 2 children. They had no children together.

Thomas Powderly was my Grandfather (born 1890 approx) in Drogheda,
Co. Meath. Worked in Greenmount & Boyne linen mills along with his brother Frank. Thomas married Elizabeth McNally around 1914 in Drogheda. They had 4 daughters Catherine, Elizabeth, Margaret (Peggy, My Mom), and Carmel who died aged 21 of T.B.
All these people have died except my Mother.
They had 2 sons. Patrick & Christopher.

Christopher died in the 70's. He never married.

Patrick died 6 years ago. He has 1 son named Derrick Powderly who has 2 daughters, no son.

So, at last I come to the one which might interest you Terry.

Joseph (Joe) or even Uncle Joe to my Mother went to work in Belfast in linen mills also, probably a branch of Greenmount & Boyne. He married and had 1 daughter and 2 sons, Joseph and Terrence.
Unfortunately I don't have dates but these children would be my Mom first cousins and if still alive would be around her age (82).
We don't know if Joseph or Terrence had any sons but maybe you can tell me what information you have gathered and together we can trace them.

I look forward to hearing back from you.
