William & Martin Loftus
According to family lore, William and Martin Loftus were two of three or four brothers who emigrated to Canada, probably by way of New York, from County Mayo, Ireland about 1850. While William and his wife reportedly died in St. Catherine, Ontario, Canada in the early 1860's, their children as well as William's brother, Martin, eventually moved on to to the United States and raised families in various cities ~ including but not limited to Ashtabula, Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio and Illiopolis, Illinois. This page is dedicated to the location of further information about William and Martin's family lineage.
** UPDATE ** New information obtained would appear to indicate that William spent more time in New York than originally thought! At least two of his children, Martin & Katherine claim to have been born in New York ~ Martin in 1850 & Katherine in Warsaw, New York about 1853. Such being the case it is likely that William & his wife, Mary Hurst, were married in New York... . And possibly left other family behind in New York when they moved on to Canada. MORE TO COME!
