Linda I am searching for your email.  Yes, their papers were their intent to become citizens of the US in 1854.  They said they arrived in Indiana in November of 1850.  They came to the US in 1847 and said they were from county Sligo. They could not read nor write and only made their X.  I have little else to go on.

Dear Linda:

    Thanks for the tip!  Glad you could make it over there as I envy you for that!  I along with Patricia Perkins did find where they became citizens of the United States in Liberty, Indiana court records both Francis Perkins and his brother John Perkins came to the US in 1847 and left county Sligo to come to New York.  Since the counties are very close to each other we may be narrowing in on the search.  If you found yours there as well it makes it all the more likely they are from this area.  We are still trying and hope to find something soon.

Thank you for all of your replies!  Had lost track of this site and it has been so long that I have heard nothing.  It would seem that my Irish roots have disappeared in the mist of time.  Will check out the census if I can find it on the net.  Again thanks for all of your ideas!

Mayo / Clossick's in Kilbeagh

I hope that someone might be able to help me in my quest!  I am trying to find where in Kilbeagh that Margaret Clossick/Classick was from.  We know she came to the United States when she was 17 along with, Mary Classick 50, Michael Classick 9, Mary Classick 6, Thomas infant. They all came on the Cambridge on May 17th 1850.  She would later marry a Francis Perkins who also was from Ireland.  Family legend says they met on the boat on the way over.  He was supposed to be from County Cork but  I can not find him there.  Is there a way to check if any Perkins were from the area near Kilbeagh?  Thank you in advance for any help.

Kevin
