"The connection of Hannah and Robert to Henry, and James (children) is pure speculation on the part of the author (Robert R. McCausland 1923). The dates are right and the IGI, Burkes and some PRONI files speculate on this connection. However there is no solid source that shows Henry and James as children of Robert and Hannah. Henry (1722) and James (1724) are proven brothers and all their descendants come from reliable sources. In the History of Gardiner Pittston & West Gardiner Pages 68 & 69 It states Henrys place of birth to be Ireland.".... from Robert & Cynthia McCausland.
