In the year 1770, Patrick Mullan, who was born and lived in the City of Armagh, Province of Ulster, Ireland, left his native land and came to Maryland. He was my Great Great Great Grandfather. Mary E. Parcell Given was born in 1855 in Ireland and came to America, settling in West Virginia. She was Bob's Great Grandmother. These portraits are the oldest I have in these family lines.

The title of the layout is an Irish Lullaby my mother sang to me and my siblings. "Just a simple little ditty, in her good ould Irish way. . . oft in dreams I wander to that cot again."
