I've also been working (sporadically) on Lynch's, Lynches, and noticed with
interest the info from Ed Costello to Fran. Perhaps someone will be
interested in the following: My husband's grandfather was Cornelius F.
Lynch. His death record on file in the West Brookfield town clerk's office
states: DOD, 09/20/1908; age 27 & 2 months; father, Daniel Lynch; mother,
Johanna Coburn. Cornelius married Theresa Farley (no record), and they had 4
children (no records so far; just family knowledge). Cornelius died 9 months
and 18 days before the 4th was born, which is intriguing. The Lynch children
(Cornelius W., Francis D., Dorothy and John E.) are listed as step-children
on the 1910 federal census for West Brookfield under the John W. Adams
household, with Theresa (Farley) Adams as his wife. I'll be searching for
more data on when Cornelius Lynch arrived in the US, what town in Ireland he
came from, etc. His birthplace is given as Ireland on the birth record for
the 4th child, John Edward Lynch, my husband's father. I'm also researching
Farleys and Burkes; well, Ryans, too. Theresa Farley's parents were Margaret
and John Farley. I think they were born in Ireland, as were Margaret's
parents, Martin Burke and Mary Ryan. I noticed on the federal censuses that
there was a corset factory in West Brookfield in the late 1800s where Irish
immigrants were employed. Lynches also lived in North Brookfield and East
Brookfield. I know some (maybe all) were related to those in West Bkfld. A
Johnny Lynch from East Brookfield played baseball with Conny Mack on the 1880
East Brookfield town team. (Saw the team picture in a history book at the
Brookfield public library last year.) Jeannette
