I'm looking for any information about Isabella Ray Patterson, her sister Ellen Ray, or their family. Isabella was born on or around April 10, 1860 and Ellen was born in about 1873. Isabella came to America in either 1880 or 1887,I have three sources that say 1880 and one that says 1887. She married George A. Patterson in about 1881. He is also from Northern Ireland, but I don't know exactly where. I have passenger records from May 1894 showing Isabella and her three sons traveling from Londonderry, Ireland to Boston, Massachusetts, USA after a visit . Ellen went with them and had never been to America before. These records also show Ardnagasson as their last residence in Ireland. I haven't been able to find out much about this town, so any info on it would be wonderful as well. I did find one website where it's spelt Ardnagassen and is listed as being in Tullynaught, Donegal. Thanks for any help you can give!
