My greatgrandmother was Rose A. Lynn, born 1865 at White Mountain, Cluntygeeragh, Dungiven. She emigrated through the port of Philadelphia, USA about 1882. Her two sisters, Mary and Catherine (Katy) also emigrated to the USA around this time. Two brothers, John and Francis probably remained in Ireland.
Her father was, Patrick Lynn (1828-1911+) of Cluntygeeragh, Dungiven who married Bridget Cassidy of Moneyneena, Ballinascreen. They lived in Cluntygeeragh. Patrick was in the 1911 census of Cluntygeeragh when he was very old. I have no idea when or where Bridget Cassidy Lynn died.
Patrick's parents were William Lynn and Nancy Kane. I don't know any details about Nancy Kane and have no idea which Kane family in Cluntygeeragh she belonged to.
After she emigrated to the USA, Rose Lynn married Matthew Francis Murray, originally of Moneyneena, Ballinascreen. They had met years earlier at the home of their common aunt and uncle in Moneyneena. Rose's aunt Annie Lynn of Cluntygeeragh was married to John McLernon of Moneyneena
