Hello, my name is Rodney Fayton from Los Angeles, California.
I am searching for informatoin about my third great grandfather John Killeen or Killean. We think he was born in or around 1800-1814 and was "bound out" from County Longford. He emmigrated to Canada and then to the United States in 1828. He married Hanna Mary Drake. He died in Waterloo New York in 1861. So far all efforts to trace him before he arrived in the new world have been fruitless. (Even what we do know other than his marriage and date of death is somewhat speculative.)
If anyone knows anything about John Killeen (Killean?) or his family I would greatly appreciate the information. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Rodney Fayton
