Post of Cornelius T Gillespie:
Seeking information about the family of William Savage (abt 1750-1824) and his wife Margaret Lane (abt 1852-1830. They were Roman Catholic; the family of parents and 11 children were tenants on a farm "Bally-na-moche" (? 'Turk Town?') which may have been in Moragh (Murragh) not far from Bandon. William and his eldest son Daniel (married to a lady named Deasy) remained in Ireland but after William's death in 1824, his wife emigrated to New Brunswick, Canada to join the remaining children of her family who had emigrated earlier and settled on Emigrant Road, Westmorland County, New Brunswick. This community was later named 'Melrose' and was a thriving community until the advent of World War 2.
The eldest son Daniel (1st) remarried to a Miss Clancy following the death of his first wife, but Daniel's five children also emigrated to New Brunswick; the eldest of these was my g-g grandfather Daniel Savage (2nd).
Thus far I have not been able to locate William and Margaret's farm home and would appreciate any information or suggestions.2

They consisted of the mother, six brothers, four sisters, and the family of the eldest brother, Daniel, who after the death of his first wife married again, and had a second family in Ireland. He never came to America, and all accounts of him and the second family are lost. In the order of age the brothers were: Denis, John, Patrick, Maurice, William, James.

B., and a Mrs. Hearn went with her husband to the United States; the youngest daughter, Margaret, married to Patrick Hickey, came, accompanied by her mother, Margaret (née Lane).
    They did not come all together, but at different times as their means permitted, in groups of six or seven. Some landed at St. John, some at Miramichi, and some even at Quebec. The journey over land that a number of them were obliged to take from Quebec, carrying small infants, as well as all their worldly effects, was among the greatest hardships they suffered. It took some five years before they were all united in Melrose."
