My great aunt, Maude Helson, wrote a genealogical history of her mother's family in 1920. According to her, her great grandparents, JOHN BOYLE, SR. and NORA (MOLLY) McLAUGHLIN had a child named JOHN BOYLE, JR. in Co. Limmerick on January 6, 1798. Her great-grandfather, John, Sr., was taken by a British chain gang in 1800. After that, her great-grandmother, Nora McLaughlin Boyle and her son, John, Jr., moved in with her brother, FATHER McLAUGHLIN, in NENAGH, where she kept his house. In about 1822, JOHN BOYLE JR. and BRIDGET QUIRK,were married in TOMMYVARA, Co. Limmerick. In 1825, John and Bridget Quirk Boyle and their sons, Daniel Boyle (1823) and Patrick Boyle (1825) moved to New York City, New York.
Can anyone verify any of this information?
Thank you for your help.

or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64) http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
or the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) https://familysearch.org/ for these relatives.
