My 3rd great grandmother was Mary Downing, daughter of Stafford Downing and Rose Mulholland.  Mary married Robert Downing, who was likely a cousin.  Mary and Robert had the following children:
1. Eliza Downing m. Edward Downing
2. Esther Downing (died 1885 in Trenton, NJ) m. Charles Delate (died 1863).  Esther and Charles emigrated to Philadelphia, and later to Trenton, New Jersey.  Esther married 2nd Henry Monaghan in 1865.
3. Thomas Downing (died 1907 in Dreenan) m. Mary O'Neill (died 1917 in Dreenan)
4.  James Stafford Downing, my 2nd great grandfather (b. abt. 1839 died 1890 in Trenton, NJ) m. Rosina McShane 1864 in Trenton, NJ
5. John Rodgers Downing (died abt. 1871 in Dreenan)
