Martin married Ann Hawkes in Lissonoffy Parish, and from family lore he had taught Ann in school. Thomas and Carol Hawkes were sponsors at the wedding. A Thomas Hawkes is listed on the property "Carrontrilla"- adjacent to the school property.(according to "Tithe Applotment of 1825") Martin moved to Cloofree School and lived on plot-72A(school was 71C) and his name was also on 75A "land of no value", in Griffiths Eval. Wehave no knowledge of Martins family or origin-but have some guesses: 1) since my grandfather , James Martin, was Martin's only son, we suspect Martins father was a James. 2) martin was from Kiltrustan Parish. This guess based on the fact that all of Martin and Ann's children were baptized in Kiltrustan Parish--although they lived in Cloonfree Parish of Cloonfinlough. 3) He had a brother James. Martin died 3-21-1861(family tradition mentioned he was a champion rope jumper. He died while rope jumping!! After Martin's death, suspect the family moved to relatives in French Park, since my Grandfather said he came from French Park. All the family emmigrated to the USA , all settling in New Jersey-across from New York City. Ann Hawkes Beirne died in 1902 and is buried in Jersey City. Bridget was the first of this family to emmigrate to the USA- brought over by an Uncle James,brother of Martin. to Baltimore Md. mid 1860's.

Catherine was born in ardnagowna:-Bernard was co-tenant on plot #7 with Owen McDermott(a relative of Catherine's, we suspect!) All emmigrated to USA-Jersey City, NJ. We think Mary Ann and Catherine came after Bernard's death. Bernard(according to family lore-drowned while saving his son,James, from drowning.) since the small Lough Cunny is in front of the cottage site, we assumed it to be the place-("his feet caught in the lily pads.") Mary Ann came to the USA on the White Star Line-"Celtic". She landed 9-22-1879. She married James Martin Beirne(later Burns)4-29-1886. **(For children see first Geneological Tree!!) My wife , Marie and I have visited Roscommon several times-viewing Church records in Elphin and Strokestown. any futher questions, info please e-mail to burnsbrothers@erols.com Donald Burns
