Hi Nez!  Yes, I know that branch of the family that went to America.  They are most probably my cousins but we are having trouble proving this.  I have no male Nesbitts left to do the DNA testing.  Thank you for your comment.

This news is very exciting.  Ralph's mother was Margaret Duffin nee Nesbitt who was a great great aunt of mine.  This branch of the Nesbitt family are all gone now.  It would be fantastic news if we find that Ralph was indeed married and perhaps had children.  Thank you very much for the post.  Deborah

Thank you Aghadowey.  I am familiar with Taylorstown and have taken virtual walks through the town. I know where my people lived.  I am familiar with the townlands and their respective parishes etc.  Is there anyway to find out Hugh Ralph Duffin's death date and burial place?  I can find everyone else buried at the Grange or the Craigmore Church.

I do know that Thomas couldn't read or write.  I know that Hugh Nesbitt became a baptist.  Some religious affiliations do not follow the traditional Presbyterian that most of my family in Ireland follow.  This might explain why I can't link my family to the Nesbitts in Taylorstown except by marriage.  There may have been a falling out.

I would really enjoy talking to someone in the Duffin family.  I would try the Presbyterian group first as most of my family are such.  My great grand aunt was Margaret "Maggie" Jane Nesbitt born 1 Jan 1857 died 28 Aug 1932.  I believe that she was married to Thomas Duffin born in 1858.  Their son's name was Hugh Alex "Ralph" Duffin.  He was born in 1901 in Taylorstown.  This son lived with Margaret and her father Hugh Nesbitt in Taylorstown so I'm not sure if she divorced Thomas.  Also, I can't find any record of Hugh Alex "Ralph" Duffin born 1901.   He was in Taylorstown in 1901 and 1911.  I have a letter from him dated October 12, 1942. The address is Toome, Antrim County, Northern Ireland.  I wonder what happened to him and where he is buried?  I wonder if he ever married.

Thank you very much.

Antrim / Two McDowell & Nesbitt marriages

Ann McDowell married Alexander Nesbitt b. abt 1838 on June 27, 1861 in the Parish of Kirkinriola.  Her sister, Martha McDowell married Thomas Nesbitt b. abt 1840 on June 13 1861 in the Parish of Kirkinriola.  These families lived in or close to Taylorstown, Ballyscullion, County Antrim.  They were Presbyterians.  Is it possible to see who the parents were for these Nesbitt men?  Are they cousins?
