Looking for Ancestor--Mathew Lingrell
Hello--First time writing, so if this is not the place to seek information--please guide me to the right place. I am relatively new to genealogy searching!
I am looking for my ancestor Mathew Lingrell. I find him in the 1800 US Federal Census in Dorchester County Maryland and have not been able to trace him any further. Although I have confirmed nothing, it appears as if he was born in Kildare, Ireland in 1760 and died in Union County Ohio in 1810. The 1800 Census says he owned one slave. He married Jane/Jenna Wick in 1790, who further married Isaac Titsworth in 1806.
I am not sure, but believe that the name Lingrell is probably Americanized or misspelled--with many different derivations. Some of them show up in the same census--maybe with brothers?

Langrell James 33--10
Lengrell Nehemiah 07--20
Lingrell Major 06--32
Lingrell Mathew 30--24
Lingrell William 30--25
I am sure there are others.
Any help you could provide would be very much appreciated as this is the first relative with my same last name that I can find to appear in the US.
