When I first replied I only added the name....so here's what little I know:
Lawrence McNamee m to Bridget left Ireland (Co Tyrone we think) and wound up
in Troy in the 1840s. I did find a Lawrence Mcnamee arriving 6/25/1845 from
Liverpool on the Independence...aged 22 and listed as a laborer. He and
various family members are on an early (1860) Census lists, and appear on
later ones as well for Troy. Their children were Margaret, Elizabeth,
Catherine, Michael, John, James, Mary, Ann. (Only Margaret and Elizabeth
were born in Ireland.) My husband's family traces through Michael, whom I
recall died early on and his widow supported the family as a laundress.
Any McNamees out there?

Hi Lynn,
I'm interested in your O'Brien kin. My Troy connection is as follows:
John O'Brien, born abt 1820 in Ireland. He was a carpenter.
He married Margaret Lynch (born Ireland about 1835) about 1853, according to
my great Aunt Frances, who was pretty accurate. She didn't say where,
however. I have their wedding picture, with absolutely NO information! So it
could be Ireland, Troy, or anywhere in between.
They had twins, Michael and Elizabeth, (my great-grandmother), in Troy
either the third of May 1856, or 1854. Two family copyists copied
differently and Aunt Frances was dead by then.
They are on the 1860 census in Chicago. They died sometime during the 1860s
there and were buried in the Old Cith cemetery, whose bodies were removed to
make Lincoln Park. The bodies were dumped - and I do mean dumped! - in
Calvary cemetery in Evanston IL. They kept practically no records, so I have
no burial records on them. There were a lot of Lynches and O'Briens in Troy
at that time and I keep hoping I'll find a connection, but so far no go.
I did find a "John O'Brian, carpenter", listed in the Green Island Directory
for 1854-55. I realize that is Albany County, but this was at the back of
the Troy City Directory, (1854 C. L. MacArthur Troy City Directory).
Anybody with any insights - I'd sure appreciate hearing from you!
