Paul's collection, part 1

 

Letter from Mary McCallion Sweeney (daughter of Pop's brother John) to Fran Miller, 1980?
It mentions James McCallion (gr-grandfather, Pop's father) as being from Co Tyrone. We know he was from Tironeill, but possibly raised by family in Tyrone (?) Is this why his marriage cert lists his father as Thomas, when it was John?


Below letter from Leo Meyler (son of Pop's sister Anne McCallion Meyler), to Fran, 2003








Not sure about this note. More on the McCallions being initially from Tyrone. Is it possible that is prior to them living in Tironeill for the Griffith's Eval in 1860s?
