Beth: I'm a descendant of John Twamley who was born in Co. Wicklow and moved to North Lake, Michigan shortly after he married Ellen Molyneux. John was Methodist & Ellen, Roman Catholic. They lived there until death & are buried in Chelsea, Michigan. John's brother, Peter, also lived in North Lake, MI & bought property near his brother. There is no record of him after a few years, so I wondered if he had died or (???) maybe he moved to Canada! I have never visited Ireland. That's on my list to do. There is an article about John in the Michigan Historical Archives. John was the 1st white person to own the property he farmed. He was also a merchant in the area. I would love to correspond with you! I live near Cleveland, Ohio & was born in Detroit, MI. Hopefully, we're related! Linda Short
