Looking for info on John Goheen born in Roscommon in late 1600's. Father and brother both named Edward.

John and his brother both fought in the American Revolutionary war for the British, and after the war settled in Bensalem, Pennsylvania USA

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    Unfortunately, there are no church records in Co. Roscommon that go back to the late 1600s.

    The Griffiths Valuation head of household listing (from 1855) shows that the Goheens were from North Roscommon in two civil parishes: Kilronan and Ardcarn. Likely your ancestors emigrated from one of these two parishes. 

    Have you considered autosomal DNA testing?
