O’Briens (Eigg Mountain Settlement History)

 

Robert O’Brien Grant (1829)

Thomas O’Brien (on O_24, 1829)

Both Robert and Thomas are indicated on the same property so either they were brothers or there was an error recording the name.

James O’Brien married Catherine. It is unclear how James was related to Robert and Thomas.

James O'Brien

Elizabeth O'Brien (1832-1873), daughter of James and Catherine (see death certificate), married Pat Delaney from Pleasant Valley in 1853 (witnessed by her father and brother James). Pat Delaney later occupied the farm next to Robert and Thomas O'Brien's.
