Hi Christopher,
I honestly wish I knew more about Thomas Witherow. All the information I have is that he was born in the parish of Aghadowey in 1795 and that he came to the USA in 1821 (per his naturalization papers). Also his first wife was Jane Campbell. They probably married around 1817/18 as their son John was born about 1819. Jane died soon after coming to the USA and Thomas married next Nancy Patterson. Their children were Robert, William, Thomas, James, David, Joseph and Samuel.
If you are able to research the parish records of Aghadowey. I would certainly appreciate it. This has been a brick wall for many, many years....

Hiya Darin,
I wonder if your Thomas was related to Hugh Witherow, a farmer at Aughlish, near Dungiven.
Hugh's son, born at Ballycastle, County Londonderry, on May 29, 1824, was christened Thomas.
