Notes
a. Note:   Compiled in 2005 from James (1926-2005) and Valerie in Doongeelagh, Uncle Dan and Dad (Charles).
 His farm is in Annaghcarthy, Riverstown, County Sligo. On it was a small thatched-roofed cottage, which housed his nine children, Peggy and himself. They had a horse and feed shed. It has three fields, each of three to four acres each; the one in front of the house is partially bog and the one behind the cottage is pasture.
 What remains of the cottage is the floor and two stone walls. The horse and feed shed still stand and are being used for the cattle that are grazed in the upper pasture. In what was a garden in front of the cottage stands a huge tree that was planted by Mary (Sheridan), when she was little.
 In the 1880's, while blasting a stone to clear a field, he went to check on an unexploded charge and it went off in his face. He was severely disfigured and in pain for the last six years of his life.
 Peggy was left to run the farm and raise all nine children. Throughout the area, the family became known as the Peggy Conlon Family.
  Barbara Ronan passed on this story:
 James Conlon, Jr (Sonny) was told by Bridget Conlon-Higgins (his great Aunt) that her father, Michael, (also Great Grandpa Michael's father) had two brothers who came to the USA for the California Gold Rush in 1849. They went through Wisconsin and were on a ship across the Great Lakes (Lake Michigan?) when it was attacked/ambushed and all the passengers were killed.
