Like Pat, my O'Connor's also wound up in Troy, NY.

My great grandfather, TIMOTHY O'CONNOR, came to Troy in
the 1860's from Nenagh, Tipperary. His brother Michael, came
to Troy a few years later. Details that I know are:

Tim's parents were: WILLIAM O'CONNOR
CATHERINE GLEASON

Information on Timothy:

Born: Dec. 1836 (Family always talked about Nenagh so may have been
born there)

Married in Troy, NY on November 28 1872 to CATHERINE McCORMICK
from Dunbin, County Louth.

Died in Troy, NY on August 8, 1912

Information on Michael:

Born: 1845 Newport, Tipperary.

Information on O'Rourke name:

The O'Connor family in Troy had some relation to the
O'Rourke's on Pound Street, Newport. There was a Michael
and a niece Catherine. Letters were received up to the 1960's.
Nothing else is known about the O'Rourke's.
Would like to make some further connections with the the
O'Connor, Gleason and O'Rourke names in Tipperary.

Regards,

Billl McGrat
