I'm searching Roche Scanlan families (Katherine Roche (Mrs. Mortimer)
Scanlan who emigrated from Limerick to Chicago via Roxbury, Mass. Seem to remember
another Roche-Scanlan family search on this list and found the following on
_http://history.rays-place.com/bios/ny-genesee/scanlon-j.htm_
(http://history.rays-place.com/bios/ny-genesee/scanlon-j.htm) which I thought might be of
interest to them (not my family):

Biography of John Scanlon
FROM OUR COUNTY AND ITS PEOPLE
A DESCRIPTIVE AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD
OF GENESEE COUNTY, NEW YORK
EDITED BY: SAFFORD E. NORTH
THE BOSTON HISTORY COMPANY, PUBLISHERS 1899

Scanlon, John, son of Bartholomew and Ellen (Roche) Scanlon, was born in
County Clare, Ireland, June 15, 1850. His education was such as the common
schools of his native country afforded, and at the age of nineteen he emigrated to
this country and came direct to Darien, where he has since resided. Mr.
Scanlon began life poor, but by industry and good management, which is
characteristic of his nationality, has succeeded in obtaining a competency of this
world's goods and has two fine farms in Darien. He has held the position of
railroad section foreman for the past eighteen years and still retains it. He
always takes an interest in town affairs, although he has never held or aspired
to public office; the only office he has ever held was school trustee for two
years. On June 11, 1875, he married Lenora, daughter of Michael and Mary
(Roland) Haley: their children are John E., Nellie M., who was graduated in 1897
from the Attica High School, receiving a Regent's certificate; Michael F.,
William J., M. Raymond. James B. and Dolores. Their oldest son is also a
graduate from the Bryant & Stratton's Business College of Buffalo. Mr. Scanlon is a
member of Kinsey Tent No. 227, K. O. T. M.
