Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to my ancestors that make me Irish every other day of the year.  Here’s a list of direct ancestors born in Ireland.  Since most of them are brick walls, I cannot assume that they are actually Irish but were born there.

William Power (7th great grandfather) – born 1730 Ireland, he immigrated to the US before 1754, and died in Perry County, Pennsylvania in 1803.

James Ward (4th great grandfather) – born 1801 Ireland, he immigrated to the US between 1842-1848, and died in Titusville, PA in 1873.

Bridget Ward Leonhard (3rd great grandmother) – born 1841 Ireland, she immigrated to the US between 1842-1848, and died after 1892, probably in Buffalo, NY.

Martin McDonnell (3rd great grandfather) – born 1826 Ireland, he immigrated to the US before 1854, and died sometime after 1905.

Ann Landers (or Sanders) McDonnell (3rd great grandmother) – born 1837 Ireland, she immigrated to the US before 1854, death unknown.
