McGlinn/Guckien
I have been searching for info on my gggrandparents Patrick McGlinn and Katharine Guckien , both from Co Leitrim. I suspect they were from South Co. Leitrim and maybe the Mohill/Drummard/Dromard or Bornacolla area because of surname distribution and family lore has has my ggrandfather John Paul being born along the banks of the Shannon ( quite poetic ). Patrick was born in 1797 and Katharine was born in 1802. John Paul was born in 1845. The family emigrated to the US ca. 1852, first to Hamilton Co. Ohio and a few years later to Logansport, Indiana. My ggrandfather John Paul was probably the youngest of 8 children and he went to Washington Territory as a young man to work as an Indian agent at Neah Bay with the Makah tribe. He eventually setteled in Laconnor, Wa. built the McGlinn House hotel and married Elizabeth Benn, born in Ontario, Canada and of Irish descent and they had 6 children, Thad my grandfather, John, Leo, Robert, Mary Eva and Winnifred. John Paul lost all contact with his family who probably remained in the Indiana area. I do not know who in the family emigrated to the US but Anna and Kate McGlynn, who are probably daughters are buried in the family plot in the Mt Hope Cemetary in Logansport, 
Indiana. Any help, connections or info would be of great help to me. I hope I can go to the Ireland XO. I'm making plans but don't know yet if it will be possible.
