 52---Mary O'Rourke (#51) is shown with an unidentified three year 
      old child (#52)
 60---Flynn mother (#58) and child (#59) and unidentified infant (#60)
 64---Stielys (#61 #62 #63) with unidentified infant (#64)
 80---McNamaras (#77 #78 #79) with unidentified infant (#80)
 83---Last name questionable. ??
117 & 118---Mary Holohan (#116) shown with two unidentified infants 
           (#117 & #118)   

Correspondence July 7, 2009 - passengers #112-118 and MULLIN, HOULIHAN and #124 DAUGHTON
The passenger list includes 7 of my relatives. Passengers #112 thru 118, 
(Holohan and Millins) are misspelled and have some incorrect ages, but match very 
well with other evidence I have of their entry into the USA:
 
112 should read Bartholomew Houlihan, age 62    
113 should read Dennis Mullin, age 25 M
114 should read Patrick Mullin,age 22 M 
115 should read Margaret Houlihan Mullin, age 19 F 
116 should read Mary Galvin Houlihan, age 48 F 
117 should read Joseph Mullin, infant M 
118 should read Michael Mullin, infant M

#112 was married to #116 and they were the parents of 115.
#115 was married to 113, and they were the parents of 117 and 118 
#114 was a brother to 113.

Records of other members of the clan (Mullin, Houlihan, Daughton) show their Irish homesite to 
have been around Lixnow, which makes their departure from Limerick logical.

There is a possibility that another passenger was also related to the group.
#124 John Daughton may have been a brother-in-law if 113, 114 and 115.

Other records show that this group moved on to Fairfield County,Ohio, where 117 and 118 
were baptized on Sept.15, 1851. All except Patrick,#114, then moved to Decatur County,Iowa, in 1858.  
Patrick,#114, married Margaret Hoffhines in Pickaway County,Ohio in 1860 and they later 
moved to join the others in Decatur County, Iowa, in 1866.  I am a grandson of Patrick.   
Thanks for all the great work done by the ISTG. Submitted by Mike Mullin
