Quinn, Norris, Nickerson, McAfee, Dickerson - IRE to PA & DE
Quinn, Norris, Nickerson, McAfee, Dickerson - these are the Irish lines I am looking for and hope to find others possible doing the same.
GGrandfather Frank Quinn (designer of Catholic vestments) immigrated 1876, lived NYC and Phila. but mainly Pittsburgh marrying Mary ? from Maryland or PA. Looks like he passed between 1912 and 1917 based on WWI draft info. They had 4 children (Bernice, John Gregory, Leo Bernard & Stella) all of whom more or less "disappeared" as I have nothing beyond 1930 census except my grandfather Leo's death cert. I have no info on Frank Quinn's parents or IRE town of origin outside a ship doc that "might" be him but otherwise, nada....
GGGrandparents Robert & Martha A Norris immigrated in 1851, settled in Smyrna DE, apparently he fought for the Union in the Civil War but I'm looking to find where in IRE they came from -- his parents: Robt Norris & Elizabeth Nickerson; her parents: James McAfee & unknown.
Robt & Martha's son Chas K (my GGF) married a Fannie E Dickerson also of Smyrna but I have zero on her too. Would be thrilled if anyone has any connection.

My Quinns came from Armagh/Tyrone to Philadelphia in the persons of Bernard Quinn, my GGGF and his wife Elizabeth Murphy Quinn and several of their children, including my GGF Arthur Quinn, to Philadelphia in 1869. I am trying to track the family in Ireland and Philadelphia and would appreciate any information. I have no knowledge of the Frank Quinn family. Regards, Bob Quinn
