"My Quinns were in Tyrone, near Clonoe, around 1800. Don't know where they fit in with this group. We are not noted for our fine physiques, but everything is relative."

Robert A Quinn commented on Debbie Anne Jackson's group Ireland and Irish Ancestry"My Quinns are from Clonoe, Tyrone, and came to Philly, about 1870. I've dropped some money into Irish marriage data and I'll look to see what I have. For some reason the Skiffington/Quinn match sounds familiar."

Patricia Quinn said… Hmm... my third gr-grandfather was John Quinn. He married Bridget Nancy Murphy. Their son John Patrick was born in Leghowney, and married Bridget Nancy Travers.
I know we're dealing with Ireland here and there simply weren't all that many surnames. But we already seem to be crossing with some same names here. I haven't found any connections to Armagh yet, but who knows?

Where are your Quinns from in Ireland, Robert? I am a Quinn; my family is from Donegal mostly - also Tyrone.
The majority of them come from the area of Ballintra, Ballinakillew, Greaghs, Laghey, The Oucht. In Tyrone, they are located in Omagh and Coalisland.
