Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in USA

Emigrated to Pennsylvania, USA in 1800 from Stranolar with wife Susanne Cowan and children: Susanna b. 1790 Stranolar, Martha b. 1790 and Jacob b. 1799 Stranolar.  Children born in Pennsylvania: Robert b. 1800, James b. 1803, Catherine b.?? and John b. ??.  Daughter Elenor b. 1784 stayed in Ireland (guessing to care for grandparents) and came to US in 1809 on the ship Hannah.  Would love to connect with any other researchers of this family.
