Hi Janet,
Since my posting, I have found in "Ohio Valley Genealogies" by Charles Hanna, genealogies for Hugh, Israel, John and Robert Birney. The names of the children of Hugh and Robert, ages, etc., do not agree in any way with the names of the children of Robert and Hugh Birney living in Monroe Twp of Harrison Co. on the 1860 census. Apparently there were two sets of Hugh and Roberts living at the same time in Harrison Co.
The genealogy for Robert in this book lists the child, Lot "who settled in Washington Co., IA" and this is precisely the Robert Birney I was looking for. The genealogy for Hugh Birney (brothers?), a native of Ireland, indicates that his father was John Birney. Both of these men, Hugh and Robert had children named Wesley and Asbury--not very common Christian names. Is this the Hugh from which you descend or the Hugh born in Ireland ca 1803 (1860 census)married to Ann with children G.R., Wm. Hanna and Robt? Do you know if the father of the brothers was John?
The IGI and Ancestral File have data on a number of Birneys, but the vast majority are from Scotland, with a very few from Co. Tyrone in Ireland. Does Co. Tyrone ring a bell?
Would appreciate any further data you could give me. The wife of my Robert is shown as Margaret Northammer of Chester Co., PA. The 1850 census for Robert and Margaret obligingly gives the place of birth for Margaret as Chester Co., PA.
Thanks much,
Claire Mahaffey
