They had eight children all born in Herkimer County. They lived in Herkimer County until 1849 when they bought property in Franklinville, Cattaragus, New York. <br /><br />John is my wife's 2x great grandfather. Last month we traveled to New York and found the deed to the Franklinville property. The deed said the John McMahon was formerly from Newport, Herkimer, New York. We traveled to Newport, found the Old St. Patrick's Cemetery and spoke with the Town Historian. We were not able to find anything regarding John.<br /><br />We would like to know what county he was from, the time and circumstances of his emigration from Ireland. We know from Bridget Dillon's obituary that she was born in Dublin in 1815 and emigrated in 1820.<br /><br />If you have any information or source you could direct me to it would be great.<br /><br />Chris Ellis chrismellis@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
