Thought I'd try to clear up some confusion resulting from an earlier post of mine about my family's Brooklyn antecedents--apologies for not answering sooner, but I haven't been able to log on for a while.
My g-g grandfather, Thomas (middle initial may be "F" or "P") Coyne was b. Ireland ca 1830 and d. in Brooklyn in 1889. He and a brother, John, emigrated with their mother Catherine (surname unknown) during the 1840s. The brothers were painters.
Thomas m. Ann Wilson (ca 1825-1894) in Brooklyn ca. 1850.
Known children, all b. Brooklyn:
Catherine (Kate) Coyne, b. ca 1855, d. 1902
John Francis Coyne, b. Nov. 1856, d. 1923 in Woodhaven, Queens (my g-grandfather)
Thomas Coyne, b. ca 1858
John Francis Coyne (1856-1923)m. twice; first Ann Marie Donovan (ca 1858-1885); her parents were the fur dresser Dennis Donovan and his wife Johanna. John was a sign painter.

I have more on these families, if anyone is interested. Hope this clarifies the "missing generations," Ed and Maryellen. Would love to hear from anyone with Brooklyn Coynes!
