Please direct me to documentation for this ancestor whom I understand was born in 1772 in Killanan in County Monoghan. He died in America, in Blair City, Pennsylvania in 1855; I do not know when he emigrated. Any assistance is appreciated.

  • Colleen:

    There are very few church records back to the early 1770s in Co. Monaghan. Records for only three Church of Ireland parishes are available.

    I assume your Alexander was Church of Ireland? The subscription site Roots Ireland has one lead. They have a November 7 1773 baptismal record for a Alexander Leech in the Clones Church of Ireland parish. Father was Alexander Leech mother Elizabeth Leech (likely her married name). They lived in Cumber.

  • Thank you! I would agree that he likely belonged to the Church of Ireland. I will follow up. Thank you!
