Shane, thanks again for all the new information.  It is so difficult to find any worthwhile data from Ireland as Ancestry.com is limited in this area.  There are so many spellings of the name Scallion.  In the very beginning of my search, I thought the name was Scallion.  Then when Mary Scallon's church bequests were printed in the paper by the executor of her will and the name was spelled with just an "o" at the end, I thought that the excecutor certainly would have the correct spelling so I have been using that one.    I did come across a Margaret Furlong {Mary Scallon's sister) whose mother's name was Margaret Scallan and her father's name was Thomas Furlong.  I think this might be a good match.  However, I will relay all the data that you sent to me to my son.  Hopfully, he will be able to come up with something concrete.  Now, If I could only find my husbands great grandfather, Martin Hanrahan.  I gave up on him a long time ago because we have no idea where he came from in Ireland!!!!

God Bless You.......Rosalie

Thank you Shane for your reply.  My son is visiting Ireland in May hoping to take a walk through the Cemetery at St. Peter's Parish and try to find some Scallons.  In 1895, a donation was sent to this church for tombstones to be erected by Mary Scallon from Baltimore, MD  for her parents.  Will he be allowed to do this?
