My great great grandfather Michael Quinlin was born in Queens Co (now Co Laois) in 1844. Believed to have emigrated to the US about 1861. Served for a short time with a Maryland unit with the Union Army during the Civil War. Married Bridget Agnes McEvilly in Wilmington, Delaware in 1865. One of his witnesses (per Sacramental Records) was William Quinlin, relationship unknown. He and Bridget Agnes had 11 children. Michael died in Pennsylvania in 1906 and is buried in St. John's Cemetery, Newark, Delaware. I am learning about his life in the US but know little about his life in Ireland.
