Searching for the Irish ancestors and Irish locale origin of Richard Dormer. The family story is that he and maybe a brother came to the US on a cattle boat supposedly from around Dublin. Richard is on an 1809 Lower District Hampshire County Tax list. Hampshire County, Virginia, now W VA, is directly below Cumberland, MD, where he married Susannah Ogilby (or Ogilvie) in 1817. A Samuel, born 1814, may be a son from a previous marriage. Richard, Susannah, and children Eliza, Richard, James, and Samuel leave Cumberland and settle in Clinton County Ohio. Son Robert O. is born in 1824 and Susannah remarries a James Craig in 1826 so Richard must have died. We can find no record of his death. Youngest son Robert is apprenticed as a young man as a printer to Elizabeth McKibben and her two printer sons in Wilmington, Ohio. Elizabeth was a Dormer and married William McKibben (McCubbin) in Harford, MD, in 1801. We think Elizabeth may have been Richard's sister. Susannah Craig died in 1864 in Winchester, Randolph County, Indiana. She had 5 more sons by her husband Craig: Benjamin, William, Thomas, John, and Edgar. We would like to know Richard's birth year, the year he came, the part of Ireland he is from, and any other info available. Thanks. Bonnie [email removed: safer to use the PM system]

Civil registration in Ireland began much later than Richard's birth so you would need to look for church records (if they exist) to find records of the family. To do so you must know the family's religion and where they lived (civil parish if not actual townland not just 'around Dublin' which could refer to the city or the county).
