Am curious as to when record keeping for Dtimoleague area began. I have learned, through DNA, that my ancestors were from this area. Denis Driscoll emigrated to America sometime around 1675. I do not know the facts related to his emigration (I.e. indentured servant, other family members etc). He is found in Maryland in 1680 timeframe. He died in 1721 leaving a will which included the names of his wife, Winifred, his children, Denis, William, Richard, James, Moses and Hannah. His listed occupation was saddler.
Thank you!
