In my online research of the Bunclody area, I found photos of Clohamon House and mention of the Levigne family. So interesting that your family had the house well into the 20th century. I loved seeing the interior and the kitchen. I imagine that my grandmother (Sarah Byrne) was a young girl working as an under-maid or kitchen helper in that very kitchen. Of course, maybe she worked on the property, who knows? This would have been around 1880. The Sweetman family is very well documented on Ancestry.com, at least, the American branch. The Irish connection has been very difficult make. I look forward to starting our email correspondence.
