On the question of Baltimore and County Longford. My family's forebearers emigrated to the Chesapeake in 1634, from County Cavan, which abuts Longford on the north. They were two O'Riley brothers, who converted to Anglicanism and dropped the O'. They are reported to have arrived in southern Maryland aboard Calvert's vessel Dove. These accounts are contained in a well researched history of the Riley family, from the Colonial Chesapeake, which I will cite shortly. Taylor (talk) 17:12, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
