Richard Fewer and Catherine Phelan, married 2 Feb 1871, who lived on a poor farm in Kilkenny, and had 13 children. One child, Edmund/Edward Patrick Fewer (born 4 July1884 in either County Kilkenny or Waterford, Ireland, d. 1 Feb 1947 in San Francisco, CA) married May Anne Devine (born August 13, 1882 in County Kerry, Ireland; d. 1 Mar 1984 in San Francisco or Santa Clara, CA), who came to the east coast (Ellis Island?) around 1900, and to San Francisco (May arrived in SF in 1902, I believe) and married there 7 Nov 1907. I have names for 5 of Edward's siblings, who came to the US: Tom, Bridget "Kitty" (Kelly), Margaret (Seery), Ella/Ellen (Murphy), and Walter, (d. bef 1947). Other siblings were William, Alice Mary, Mary, Joe (or Josephine??), Pat. We'd like to find May's family too. Her parents were Bernard (or possibly Brian) Devine (or Devane) and Catherine Savage. Bernard's siblings: Mary, Thomas, Pat, Margaret. Catherine had a brother named John. May's siblings were: Patrick, John, Dennis, Catherine (Sullivan) who settled in CT, Mary, who died as an infant or child, and Hannah, who remained in Tyloch, Ireland.

John and Betsy's daughter was Clarissa Sidney Claypoole (b. 3 Apr 1785), who married Jacob Wilson (b. either Philadelphia, PA, or Baltimore, MD). They had a daughter named Clarissa Sidney Wilson (b. 9 Aug 1809), and she married James Hanna (b. 2 Feb 1806, Philadelphia, PA).

Peter Lothian was born 2 Mar 1869, in Genesee, NY. He was the first sheriff of Humboldt Co., CA. He married Dorcas Louise Nixon (b. 1 Apr 1837, in Fayette, PA; parents were Capt. Isaac Nixon and Sarah Hook). When Peter was killed (drowned in creek, family legend claims he was 'pushed by Indians'), Dorcas married his brother Archibald.
I've recently (through some very helpful folks on a Quebec mailing list) found some parents and grandparents of Louis Pierre Dorais (b. abt 1865, in Huntingdon County, Quebec) , my husband's paternal grandfather, although the information is sketchy: His parents were Leon Dorais and Virginie Brossard, who married in St. Jean-Chrysostome, Chateauguay, Quebec, on 17 Nov 1863. Leon's parents are listed as Louis Dorais and Desanges Heroux. Virginie's parents are listed as Geoffroy Brossard and Benonise (or Melanie?) Lanctot. If "Melanie" is correct, then her parents were Joseph Lanctot and Marie Louise Lefebvre who married Jun 6, 1808 in St. Constant, Quebec.
Samuel Griffin, born about 1702 in Killingworth, Middlesex, CT. He married Mary (born about 1706, Killingworth) about 1727 in Killingworth. I know of 6 children: Mary, Thankful, James, Jerusha, Samuel and Jeremiah.
William Stratton (possibly the son of Caleb Stratton, b. about 1646, and Mary Adams), born 1680 in Windsor, Hartford, CT, died in Octoboer of 1709. He married Abigail Moore (b. 12 Sep 1682 in Windsor, d. Oct 1709; daughter of Andrew Moore and Sarah Phelps) on 17 Jan 1706 in Simsbury, Hartfort, CT. They had 2 children: Serajah (who married Eunice Case) and William.
