I am looking for information on Patrick CONNAUGHTON and his wife Bridget DOWD of Boyle, Co. Roscommon. They had sons Andrew (1829), Peter (1830) and Hugh (1834), all baptized at Boyle. They might have had others, but these are the ones I found in the Boyle Parish records. Hugh CONNAUGHTON emigrated to America in 1854 and settled in Mineral Point, Wisconsin. The 1860 census for Mineral Point also shows a Bridget Connaughton, who may (or may not) have been Hugh's mother.<br>
