Thank you John. I was thinking that may be the case. But Adare was a supposed city but in County Limerick rather sure.
Thank you,

I don't know how common these names are but I have a direct ancestor named Edmund Fitzgerald who was (apparently) born on a ship in the North Atlantic in route to N. America in 1745. He was also long-lived 102+ years and also ended up in Pittsylvania county VA. Are we cousins?
