LYNCH - ((I am trying to find any references to Patrick LYNCH from Galway or
county Clare who was born around early 1800's who married Susanna MAYN around
early 1820's and went to Quebec. His son James LYNCH may have been born in
Ireland. (who may have also used the name Francis James LYNCH. All the other
references in old letters say "James" and the family tree and all other genealogical
sources use the name James, so this other name, Francis James LYNCH is a remote
possibility) and married Marguerite HOWLEY in Quebec Canada in 1843.
(Margaret's father, Patrick HOWLEY arrived in Quebec in 1828, probably with wife
and children. Wife's maiden name was Margaret COOK. There are no birth dates
available for either of them. All families were Catholic.) James and Marguerite's
children were James (1853) , Mary (1855), Agnes (1857), and then the family moved
to Quebec, Canada, where Frances was born Nov. 18, 1859. The last child was Emma,
born in 1861. I am the great-grand-daughter of Frances who was put in an orphanage
after Marguerite's death, and then was placed in Catholic schools in Cheyenne,
Wyoming, until she left after a disagreement with the sister superior. She met and
married William MAIN in 1879 and travelled with him to Fresno,where they raised a
family of eleven children. She died surrounded by family in 1934 at her second home
in Pacific Grove, California. She lost track of her Canadian relatives at such a young
age that she had no way of attempting to connect with her Galway roots.), Cecile

LYNCH - (I am currently doing genealogical research on my mother's side of the
family. My mother is Elizabeth (Betty) Shelton aka. LYNCH. She has told me that
their family is related to the Thomas C. Lynch who signed the Declaration of
Independence for South Carolina. I have been able to trace the family back to my
great great great grandfather William F. LYNCH who was born in Georgia in 1790's.
He married a Penina KIDWELL in Wilcox County Alabama October 30, 1828. He
subsequently died in Chicot Conty Arkansas aorund 1866. Their children were Nancy,
Alabama, Indiana, Penina, John and Dr. Thomas Jefferson LYNCH (my great great
grandfather). I know that there was a Frances LYNCH who settled in Georgia in
1733. I don't know if William F. LYNCH was one of his descendants.), Gus Shelton,

LYNCH - (I am searching for a family of Annie Lynch who was born in Ireland
between 1840 and 1860. Rumour has it she went to relatives in Pennsylvania for her
education and returned to Ireland where she married John CAIRNS. They migrated to
New Zealand where they joined Annie's sister who was married to a Sergant
O'MALLY of the NZ police and two LYNCH brothers. Annie Lynch and John
