Thomas Walsh was born near Waterford, Ireland sometime around 1723. Walsh family history says that he was the first of his family to come to America, however, we have been unable to locate any records indicating that he left Ireland. He may have come over with his brother James, "Jesse".
Margaret Madison McGinis is said to have married him. His son, Thomas Walsh, was the first in his family to serve in the American military.
AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR (1775-1783)
Thomas Walsh, born in 1746, served as a Private under Captain Thomas Posey’s 7th Virginia Regiment. Posey is widely believed to be the son of George Washington.
Would you have any information about Thomas Walsh, such as when he sailed for Virginia?I think he may have sailed prior to the date of 1740. He may have been listed as Welsh instead of Walsh...
