Here is a photo of Thomas Matthew Halpin, the revolutionary. My guess is that it dates to about 1870.

BTW, I also have a photograph of T. M. Halpin.
Among other things, while in the USA he successfully ran for office in the Illinois State Legislature.

Hi,
My name is Greg Frauenhoff and I am the Great Great Grandson (or so) of Thomas Matthew Halpin.
Regarding the family table and papers, here is what I can add. The table is in two parts: one in the possession of my brother and the other with a distant relative whom I don't know. The papers themselves were a roll of multi-color paper that had 10 or so poems written while in prison in 1849 by various individuals, including two apparently different Thomas Halpins. My mother owned the roll but she has passed away and even after a thorough going through of her estate it could not be located. I have held such in my hands but where they ended up is beyond me. Perhaps, as she was rather disoriented during her final illness, they were accidentally misplaced. She made copies of most if not all of the poems and these copies are probably in my garage along with her genealogical research.
