This family settled in the townlands around Convoy and Raphoe.
Documentation for this tree can be found in the records on this site. I hope to incoroprate many of them into this page over time. If you have access to Ancestry you can view a tree that includes some documentation. This is a family that I haven’t worked on significantly. It needs more attention.
