regarding Patrick Rafferty Sr 1774

[CINDY L GREEN (RAFFERTY)]

<br> I am looking for any information on Patrick Rafferty Sr. we think of Louth County Ireland. It is thought he immigrated in the 1832 or 1840 we have two conflicting stories. John and Thomas Rafferty 1808 and 1812 immigrated in 6-1-1828. It is said the whole family immigrated to Clearfield Pennsylvannia. But on records I noticed his son William was born and died in Ireland. I would like any information on Patrick Rafferty Sr. brothers sisters or parents.<br>He would be my great, great,great grandfather. My great grandfather being George William Rafferty who married Viloa Sharp and Jeanie Smith and had first three children and thirteen in the second marriage. My grandfather Leslie Joseph Rafferty (known by Lester) and my father Paul John Rafferty. Leslie married Viola Green and Paul John married Vera Ruff. Any information would be greatly appreciated<br>Sincerely<br>Cindy L Green (Rafferty)

<br>Just something in general about the surname which may interest you. It features in a prayer against hanging, a certain Eoghan Mór of the name coming to rescue at the last minute and successfully freeing a person who was about to be hung, at Carrickmacross, I think : <p>Uair na ngrásta ar uair mo bháise <br>nó Eoghan Mór Ó Raithbheartaigh! <p>(May I be in) grace at the time of my death <br>or (may I have) Eoghan Mór Ó Raithbheartaigh. <p>There is reference to it in the book 'Seanfhocail Uladh' by Éinrí Ó Muirgheasa. <p>Go n-éirí an cuardach leat / Good luck with the search.<p><br>: I am looking for any information on Patrick Rafferty Sr. we think of Louth County Ireland.
