That is a fascinating story! But I doubt there is any family connection
unless it goes back to Ireland prior to 1750. That is when my ancesters left
Londonderry for America. From that point on I can clearly chart the family
including relatives. Thanks for the brief history.
Your friend, Larry Gamble
