Tipperary / Re: Armitages from Ireland to Canada

Since our Armitages went from England/Yorkshire to settle in Ireland in the 1600s, you might be interested in the following blog about Landed Families. The link below is to a list of the family bios. Look for both Armitage and Armytage. There are several articles about them.

Tipperary / Re: Armitages from Ireland to Canada

My 3x ggrandfather, John Armitage, bought land in western New York state in 1816 and in the 1820 US Federal Census there are several children listed. At least 2 of the children are his sons, Joseph, born 1818 and John B. born 1820. There is a passenger list to New York City in 1811 that lists a John Armitage, from Tipperary. I can't be sure this is my John, but if it is, then he married Fanny in New York, either in Ulster of Washington County. One record shows Joseph born in Washington County.
So, my John can't be the one listed in your link. There are just too many Johns and Frances/Fannys to sort them out.
Thanks for your reply ant the inks.

The above should read that Richard(b. 1784) and several children arrived in New York in 1849 (not 1859). They are listed in the household of John and Fanny Armitage, in Galen, Wayne County, New York in the 1850 US Federal Census.

I am in the US. My 3x ggrandfather, John Armitage, settled in western New York state(a very rural area) before 1820. In 1859, Richard Armitage and some of his children (Jane's siblings) came to New York to live with John and they are listed in the 1860 Federal Census. One of Richard's sons was William, who married Anna Maria Thorp and ended up in Illinois(you have him in your information with a different father).
I live very close to where my John settled.
I have been to Cloughjordan, Tipperary and met 2 Armitage descendants there. They shared some very large family tree sheets that show their descent from the "Big" Armitage siblings, children of John and Mary (?) Armitage. John was son of Joseph (Garrane) and Ann (Lewis ?) Armitage.
My goal is to figure out who are parents of my John, born about 1787 and RIchard, born about 1784.

Kenvic, I'd love to be in direct contact and know more about how you connect to the Armitages in Tipperary. My maiden name is Armitage.
Yesterday, I mentioned Richard Armitage, who had a daughter Jane (b abt. 1815, d. 1877). She married Richard Mason in 1833 in Killaloe Diocese, Co. Tipperary, and they arrived in Australia in 1842.

Kenvic, Thank you so much for the download. It must have taken a lot of time to put together. I am printing it to check against my information. I have a DNA match to descendants of Richard Armitage, through his daughter Jane. I see them on your chart. I believe that Richard was a brother of my 3x great-grandfather, John Armitage.

Kenvic, in your post, you say that the "Armitage family from Modreeny, Cloughjordan in Tipperary were Methodist prosletisers in oh so Catholic Ireland in 1800s." Can you elaborate further and explain your source? To support your comment, my 3x great-grandfather, John Armitage, came to New York state before 1816, the year he purchased land. We think he came from Tipperary. He was instrumental in founding a Methodist church near him and one of his sons, my 2x great-grandfather became a Methodist minister. I would like to understand the history better, even though I don't have concrete family ties back to Ireland.
