I am in search of more information regarding my paternal great great grandfather. I have very little information about him - His name was Thomas Phelan. I know he was married to Jane Stapleton and came over to the USA sometime between 1706 and 1726. He had a son who was also named Thomas Patrick Phelan, born in 1726. If you have any information at all, it would be most appreciated.
