John Fagan born 17 June, 1792 in Tembleshanbo
My 3rd great grandfather was John Fagan. According to his tombstone, he was born 17June, 1792 in the parish of Templeshanbo in County Wexford. He was a marble cutter by trade. I have a copy of his last will and testament as well as a letter to his brother. I have been able to discern that he had a brother named George and a brother named Daniel. Both of them died in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, George in 1830 and Daniel in 1849. John died in Winchester, Virginia, USA on 19 October, 1882. From the letter he wrote to his brother it seems their mother died in 1809 in Ireland. So they must have been young when she passed. John Fagan married Mary Ann Clarke of Ballycastle in 1822 in Philadelphia. Ifound a passenger record for a John Fagan who arrived in Philadelphia 31 July, 1822 on the ship Julia Ann. I also found John Fagan, aged 19, in the 1910/1911 Census or Ireland in Artramon, Co. Wexford. If anyone has any information on this family I would greatly appreciate it!
