Good point. They were definitely Catholic.

Monaghan / Re: Dawson and Crowe families

I don't know whether there is a family connection, but my ancestors include Michael Crowe, born in Ireland about 1814, who also emigrated to Ontario, Canada. He and his wife, Mary Ann McHenry, established a farm in the Simcoe area sometime before the 1861 census. They must have been in Canada by at latest 1843, as all four of their children are listed as born in Canada.

I have both McMaster and Devlin in County Tyrone. My ancestors from both families emigrated from County Tyrone to Lee County, Illinois, USA during the 1850s.

I don't know if there is a family tie-in here or not, but my ancestors include John McMaster, born between 1830 and 1835 in County Tyrone, who emigrated to the U.S. around 1853 and settled in Lee County, Illinois. He had a brother named Oliver McMaster who also came to the U.S. and maybe a sister named Elizabeth. I don't know his father's name, but family legend is that he was some sort of a lay preacher in the Catholic Church.
