Thank you Bill. I don't even know if any of the Quinlans came to America. Elizabeth Quinlan O'Donnell was my dad's grandmother. I found the family graveyard in Piltown and the headstone said they were woolen merchants.They also put the names of the Manchester Martyrs on their headstone. (Allen, Larkin and OBrien). That was like giving the "power to the people" salute as your last words. But who knows? There might be a link somewhere but that is all I know. That gravestone might hold the clues to Quinlan line.( It is so hard to trace the females!)
PS. The Sullivans come from Cork (everybody in Cork is Sullivan) and came via Rochester NY.
