Hi everyone, sorry I'm a few years late to the party, but I am also starting to research the Percivals from Leitrim/Longford.  I suspect they are related to my ancestors the Cliffords from Newtownforbes, co. Longford/Moher, Leitrim.  My ancestor Henry Clifford emigrated to New York City in 1852 and in 1855 was living with an Alexander Percival, b. 1827, and his wife Jane (McKinley) Percival.  Henry's mother was a McCormick so some of the posts on this stream have definitely piqued my interest.  I believe Alexander had a brother, Arthur Percival (wife Elizabeth) and a brother Thomas Percival living close by in Brooklyn.  The Cliffords and the Percivals lived side by side in Brooklyn for years and years.  If anyone knows of Percivals who emigrated to Brooklyn in the early 1850s, or an associated with the Cliffords, I would be very interested.  I have done quite a bit of research on the Cliffords in Brooklyn and Leitrim/Longford.
