@Barbara, too bad my friend's sister doesn't do genealogy. They are O'Brien/McCarthy's and I'm pretty sure they have Harrington in their lineage. They where born on Bell Island, Newfoundland, Canada. If I remember correctly it was 3 generations back that went to Ireland before Canada. I know they have a cousin on Ancestry who lives in Canada working on the line but I don't know who.

Very interesting info on the Hart Family and surname spellings Richard. I don't remember if I have Hart in my linage and if so distant I do believe. I know I have some Hart's in the 1700's cemetery up the street.

One of my Irish ancestry surnames is HART. There are apparently two versions of that name or at least two different ways the name appeared in Ireland.
First: The names O'Hart and Hart in Ireland are derived from the native Gaelic O'hAirt Sept that was originally located in County Meath but which later located to County Sligo.
Second: Hart was also introduced into Ulster Province by settlers from England, especially during the seventeenth century.
I don't know where in Ireland that my ancestors Teddy HART and his son, Felix HART, originated. Both Teddy and Felix emigrated from Ireland to America in the very early 19th Century. Teddy to Baltimore (his son, Timothy, was born there in 1810) and Felix to New York (His daughter, Catherine, was born in Ireland in 1822 and his son, Timothy, was born in New York City in 1829). Both emigrated to Texas and received Mexican Land Grants in what is now South Texas (Teddy actually died aboard ship enroute to Texas and the land grant was awarded to his wife, Mary and his son Timothy).
There were several families surnamed HART receiving land grants in what is now San Patricio and Bee Counties, Texas. These families were apparently not related.
One of the families had originated in County Kent and were of Church of England faith. Traveling to Ireland a Tom HART converted to the Roman Catholic faith and settled in Dublin near Watlin Street. He was martyred during the revolt of 1798.
The family moved to Ballymoney, County Wexford and from there emigrated to Texas on a Mexican Land Grant. I don't know if this family was related to my HART family. It doesn't appear so. However, the coincidence of two out of a very few families with the same surname and not being related is difficult ti imagine.

Barbara, I have just started to follow this family connection, it doesn't sound like we have the same people in common but I will let you know if I find they are from County Cork. Thank you for replying.

Pauline - my family was definitely Walsh, did not change the spelling to maintain the pronounciation - Thomas is seldom in my line of Walshes. My Ellen Walsh married a John Sheehan from Drinagh, Co Cork, and all my Walshes are from southwest Co Cork.

Thomas Welsh(Welch, Walsh, Walch) m. Julia E. Shehan (Sheehan), I am researching my maternal 2xGreat Grandparents, both born in Ireland. It would appear they married before 1856 as the 1870 census shows them in Oil City, Venango Co., Pa. with their oldest child being Willie age 14 (born in Michigan). Although, since there is 8 years between Willie and my Great Grandmother Katie It is possible this could be a second marriage for Thomas. Does this ring a bell for anybody?
