Tyrone / Re: QUINN in Tyrone

Hope there is a connection to my g.g.g.grandfather Hugh Quinn
**Hugh Quinn born c.1778 in Drumragh, Omagh, Co. Tyrone.
died 1861 Clarendon, Quebec, Canada.
**His son Michael Quinn and wife Bridget Logan emigrated 1841-3 to Quebec also. My g.grandfather Patrick Quinn (Michael & Bridget) was born 1832 in Co. Tyrone likely around Omagh as well. Patrick was 10yrs old at the time of emigration and love to play football.
**Mary Quinn, Hugh's daug. and sister of Michael married Charles McCullough and had a daugh. Ann born also Co. Tyrone, same area.
**All were early settlers to Clarendon Township, Quebec.
Apparently like a lot of Catholic Quinns, Hugh was illiterate as documents show he could not sign his own name. He came to Canada having joined the British Army and stayed after the war of 1812 ended and received a 200 acre Land Grant in 1835. He apparently had to clear the land starting back around 1826.
**We Quinns still have the land in our possesion. We would love to contact any Quinns who may have information on these folks.
Thank you Frank
