2 Terrence O’Briens

Joe:

You don't indicate whether the two Terence O'Briens were born in Ireland. If they were born in Ireland, do you have approximate years of birth? Parental information? Did the marriages occur in Ireland?

Roger McDonnell

      Yes, both Terrence's were born in Ireland and married there as well. Terrence 1 was born in 1805  Moynalty, County Meath. He married Mary Catherine Smythe ( Smith). He was a janitor at Hamilton College and a Farmer. My direct line was Terrence 2. He married Jane Smythe in Ireland and settled in Clinton, NY as well. They had many children also. I can't recall if any were born in Ireland off hand? Anyway, they later moved to nearby Utica, NY, but are buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Clinton, NY. The first Terrence moved to Wisconsin. I'm trying to connect or disprove a familial connection between these two Terrence O'Briens.  Or more information about the families in Meath.

               Thank you,

Joe:

I can't locate a Terence O'Brien Jane Smyth marriage anywhere in Ireland and no baptismal records for children of that couple.

Roger

Ok Roger, thank you. They must have married and had all their children in New York State.
