Patrick Quinn B. about 1760 - Cork

I've been able to find a bit of information on the internet, but I have not proven these ancestors yet.

Patrick Quinn (1760 - 1800) lived in Cork on Princess Street. (I would assume this is Princes Street.)

He married Esther Martin (1765 - 1810).

Their son Charles (1786 - 1840) married Rebecca Donahugh (?) and immigrated to South Carolina and settled in the Edgefield District (possible Charleston).

Any information on Patrick Quinn, Ester Martin, or Rebecca Donahugh and their parents would be much appreciated!

Did you know that Catholic church records from Cork city are available online free of charge at:
