I have traced one of my lines back to
Andrew Bankson Birth 1726 in Ireland - my 6th great grandfather married to
Anne O'Dear my 6th great grandmother
Birth 1741 in Ireland Death 1782 in England.
She was the mother of James Bankson (1765 - 1829) - my 5th great grandfather
His daughter: Jemima Bankson (1785 - 1840) - my 4th great grandmother
Her son: William Gensha Crocker Hooper (1805 - 1869) - my 3rd treat grandfather
His son: Charles R Hooper (1842 - 1913) - my 2nd great grandfather
His son: Otto (Autto) "Bud" Delavan Deleno (census also has Auto) Hooper aka Hopper (1871 - 1951) - my great grandfather
His son: Theodore Otto or Otto Theodore Hooper (1900 - 1967) - my grandfather
His daughter: Mary Emmanell Hooper (1936 - ) - my mother
Her daughter: Jeanne Lynnelle Long/Robinson (me)
I am looking for other possible relations in Ireland where my heart lies.

Is it possible that Andrew was from Swedish descent ((Bengtsson), maybe an army connection to Ireland ?
Another option we can not rule out at this stage is that somewhere down the research line Dublin Ireland was confused with Dublin township in Philladelphia where many of the early Swedish settlers went.
What is your source of the family members being from Ireland ?

Hi, Looking back to those links I found that parents of both were from Sweeden. So you are correct. I believe that was an error in my research. Thank you for your response.
