Loren,

The name of the Farm is Killashandra. I am trying to find out if anyone from Killashandra, Cavan, Ireland, came to Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA to settle down and start a farm. It is very general, so I will have to start with the names of the people who settled in Lancaster. A land deed search in pennsylvania will possible shed some light on it, but there were a number of owners and I do not know when the farm land was given the name "Killashandra".

The bronze plaque placed by MDSSAR and NSDAR to mark the grave of Revolutionary War patriot George Poe's grave was conceived and under-written by Tim McCabe who is a direct descendant and member of the District of Columbia and Delaware Societies, SAR.

George Poe was the second son of John Poe and Jane McBride. He was born in Dring, Ireland July 31, 1744 and was baptized at Croghan Presbyterian Church, near the town of Killeshandra, about 3 miles from Dring.

In 1748, Jane and John Poe along with children, David, George and a daughter, immigrated to America. They landed at New Castle, Delaware and immediately traveled to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, settling near John’s brother, Alexander Poe. There, the family engaged in farming on leased land.

Dunno if you got any further with your serches, but here go's!

 

Tycusker is not a townland near Killeshandra Co Cavan, its located about 5 miles away and is between the towns of Arva and Carrigallen.

There were two Anderson sisters living in tycusker untill recently, Olive and Hannah.

 Their correct address would be Tycusker,  Arva, Co. Cavan.

Try writing to Mr. Lindsey Vance, Tycusker, Arva Co. Cavan.

He would have known them well.

 

There are other Anderson families living in Derrylanr, Killeshandra, Co. Cavan.

 

The only warrington fmilies i ever heard of ho were living in Cavan were all in the parish of Derryheen, a few miles from Cavan town.  There are two or three families still farming there.
