About John

Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
The profile's County Antrim birth field conflicts with the family-Bible
transcription's Innicruch, identified as Inishrush in Tamlaght O'Crilly,
County Londonderry. Preserve that conflict until the Bible image or a stronger
place analysis is inspected. The profile and descendant compilation also
disagree between 1899 and 1889 for his death year; do not change it from the
derivative transcription alone.
