Smyth Torrence (Torrens)
If anyone can help, I am trying to identify the descendants of Smyth Torrens of Cooleman, Ireland circa (1795-1887) and married in 1829 to Mary Kennedy.
We know that two boys and two girls of his came to the United States.
They are:
Margaret Torrence (1824-) x Samuel McCaughey of PA
Martha Torrence (1829-) x 1848 Samuel Hogg (Hoag) of PA
Thomas K Torrence (1832-1916) x Mary Barr (1832-1894) who married in Mauch Chunk, PA and moved to Brooklyn, IA
William Torrence (1834-1923) who married in 1856 to Sarah Bennett (1838-) in Mauch Chunk, PA and moved west to Brooklyn, IA.
Mauch Chunk is in the Lehigh Valley north of Allentown and known today as Jim Thorpe, PA.It was a coal, canal and railroad town of major influence around 1850.
Any information on these people will be a big help.
