Can anyone provide information on the John Power family of Bonmahon. Co. Waterford, Ireland, ca. The 1830s.
John Sr, no dates, lived in Bonmahon and was married to Elizabeth Byrne. His family was involved in copper, silver and lead mines owned by the See of Ireland and the Marquis of Ormond according to some notes I found.
John Sr and Elizabeth had had three children we know about:
John Jr born in Bonmahon 1818; d. Baltimore, Md. USA 1890
'Captain' Edward (b. 1827 Bonmahon - d.1876 Baltimore)
Elizabeth Power Flannery, n.d.
John Jr and some of his siblings or maybe all, emigrated to Baltimore, Maryland ca 1830, we think. There he founded a dairy business called the Western Maryland diary. He married Catherine Elizabeth Crawford and they had 5 children all born in America. One of them John Clinton Power was my great-great grandfather.
Any information on these Bonmahon Power's would be appreciated.
