John Dolan's son, Lawrence, emigrated to Worcester, Massachusetts in 1848. My wife is a direct decendent of John and Lawrence. Lawrence's naturalization papers give his birthplace as Drumshanbo. I've identified, from Griffith's Valuation, several John Dolans within 10 miles (16 km) of Drumshanbo. John also had a daughter, Mary, who emigrated. John's wife was Rose Ford. The search for more information on John and Rose continues ......
