This is my second great grandfather and I would be interested in who his parents were or any other information about him. He married Margaret Mangan in March, 1835 at Manister (Fedamore), Limerick. Circa 1839, he was living in Vermont before moving to Lewis County, NY by 1841. He died February 21, 1872 in Fort Edward, NY.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have submitted my DNA to several sites but have only connected to younger people who know nothing of their ancestors and incomplete family trees, none as far back as 1808. I can track him throughout his life in New York State but would like to know about his and his wife's (Margaret Mangan) life in Ireland. She was born June 1, 1818 and died November 23, 1888 in Saratoga Springs, NY.
I have searched through Ancestry. com, Family Search, My Heritage and other sites to no avail. I realize that the records that I am looking for are very old and perhaps, no longer exist but I would appreciate any help that can be provided.
Thank you.
