GG grandmother, Margaret McDonald/McDonnell Harrington, I believe was born in Baltimore, Cork, Ireland.  She immigrated in about 1843 to New York City, NY.  In about 1847 she married Timothy Harrington.  Margaret was at least 17 years Tim's junior.  In 1848 their son John Timothy Harrington is born.  Margaret's death certificate states that her parents were James and Margaret McDonald.  Margaret was illiterate.  I believe the surname to actually be McDonnell.
