My ancestor from Co. Fermanagh was:
John Quigley born July 22, 1817, probably in Clones; arrived US during April 1835; married Catherine McKiernan of Co. Cavan on 19 Sept 1839 at St. Jos' Catholic Church in NYC. 5 children. John died in Smithfield, RI on 25 June 1873; His first wife Cath. died 1859; John remarried in 1866 (Eliz. Vaughan).
John's parents names were James and Bridget Quigley. We believe they died in Co. Fermanagh.

Patrick went on to own or run a boarding house in Stockport, Cheshire, England along with his wife, Mary Crudden. Together they had either 11 children, 3 diieng young or there are duplicate children. Patrick died in 1902 in Stockport. Several of Patrick's children left home for the states and Canada. Sons Patrick and Thonas and daughter Margaret lived in and near Toronto, Canada.
