PATRICKS DAY 19 Presidents of the United States have claimed Irish heritage. One-third to one-half of the American troops during the Revolutionary War 9 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were Irish Americans. Today, approximately one in four Americans can trace their ancestry in part to Ireland. A Tribute to My Irish Roots-"Michael Lynch came to America first, and bought his land in Wisconsin in 1857.\\xa0 He then wrote to a friend still in Ireland, and asked him to find him an Irish wife.\\xa0 Margaret Scully was 16 at the time and agreed to go.\\xa0 She traveled with her brothers Dan & Tom Scully in 1860.\\xa0 They were married April 10, 1860 in Stillwater, MN." Michael\\u2019s land was covered in timber.\\xa0 He cleared all the land with oxen.\\xa0 Margaret was very afraid of the Indians.\\xa0 There were terrible Sioux Indian uprisings in the area at the time.\\xa0 Family she would not stay in their cabin alone while Michael was clearing the land.\\xa0 So she would take the children and hide in the woods." Margaret (nee Scully) Lynch Born July 17, 1839 in Limerick, Ireland She died at the age of 87 and left behind 7 of her 8 children, 40 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren.\\xa0 \\xa0 Find your Irish ancestors now with this book: In Search of Your British and Irish Roots: A Complete Guide to Tracing Your English, Welsh, Scottish, & Irish Ancestors [Paperback] and support the free podcast.
